Author's notes: thank you for your feed back. I will be using the senshi, but not mamo-baka. Uhhh...lesse... ask me q's if you don't understand something! I will be happy to answer....although, my email is not what is on ff.net, mostly because it has my name in it and is a school address....^_^* Ok...some of you want to know where Usagi is...whelp, she makes an appearance in this chapter, but its not in her point of view. That should be next chapter, along with her story. Ok?
Last Time:
"Hai. Usagi is being held by the Tarawa forces in Eastern Canada. Your mission is to locate the base, get in, rescue Usagi, and get out with minimal damage to yourself and the base. Our main concern is Usagi, but if you can find information on the plans of the new faction or the Tarawa organization without causing commotion, that is acceptable. You will not take your Gundams, for they will cause to much commotion, and are to easy to recognize. From there, you are to return to the Sanq Kingdom, where the other two pilots will meet you, and await orders." Dr. M. waited for Nanori's response.
"Mission Accepted." Nanori nodded to the doctors then headed back to her shuttle craft to research Eastern Canada until the other pilots arrived.
Chapter 4:
After seven hours of searching the internet, Nanori had located a Tarawa base just north of the Great Lakes in Canada. She had downloaded a map of the surrounding area as well as the blue prints of the base. Next, she had hacked into their computer systems and downloaded all of the access codes, information that may prove useful concerning future missions, lists of soldiers and their profiles, lists of armory and MDs, and had also found that she had a contact in that base. She had sent an email to GovIntel and they had come up with a plan to get Usagi out.
Shutting down her laptop, she took the printouts she had made and left her shuttle. Looking around the docking bay, she noticed two more shuttles and concluded the other pilots were here. She went back to the room where her Gundam was and found all six doctors talking to her brother and the other Gundam pilots.
"...Tarawa base in Eastern Canada. Your mission is to locate the base, get in, rescue Usagi, and get out with minimal damage to yourself and the base. Our main concern is Usagi, but if you can find information on the plans of the new faction or the Tarawa organization without causing commotion, that is acceptable. You will not take your Gundams, for they will cause to much commotion, and are to easy to recognize. From there, you are to return to the Sanq Kingdom, where the other two pilots will meet you, and await orders." Dr. M. was explaining the mission to the five pilots in front of her.
"Ahh...06, I see you have found the location and blue prints of the base?" Dr. J. asked when he noticed Nanori standing in the shadows near the door.
"Hnn." Nanori stepped into the light.
"You!?" Duo yelled in surprise.
"We're supposed to work with an Onna!?" Wufei growled over Duo's exclamation.
"Hello Miss Nanori." Quatre greeted calmly. Trowa nodded his greeting and her brother just regarded her coldly.
Nanori glared at Wufei, and gave Trowa, who was standing closest to her, the printouts she had made. "I am leaving in thirty minutes. Decide who is coming, and meet me in the docking bay." Nanori gestured to the printouts and continued. "Those are the plans to the base, and how I plan to get in. I suggest you study them." Nanori nodded respectfully to the doctors then headed back to the docking bay.
Trowa studied the printouts, then handed them to Hiiro. "She plans very well. I wish to go with her." Hiiro looked through the papers and nodded; he would go as well. Hiiro then handed the printouts to a grumbling Wufei.
"I will also go." Wufei said after a while.
"I wanna go!" Duo whined. Quatre sighed and pulled Duo off to the Docking bay so they could leave for the Sanq Kingdom. The other three followed quietly and found Nanori waiting for them. She entered the shuttle and motioned for the others to follow.
The Shuttle Flight
Nanori looked to her brother sitting against the shuttle wall typing into his laptop. "Hiiro."
"Hnn." Was his reply.
"What happened to you?" Nanori asked softly. Hiiro looked at her. "Your nothing like you used to be." She whispered. Hiiro shrugged. "Please tell me?"
"Why?"
"I..." Nanori faltered and started again, "You used to smile and laugh all the time, and hated it when anyone was anything other than happy. But, you disappeared after an attack, and when I finally find you... you don't seem to know, to care, what your heart is for." A small tear slid down Nanori's cheek. "It's like you lost your humanity."
"In a way, I did." Hiiro said, his eyes softening a little at the sight of his sister's tear. "All the killing I have done, I wouldn't have been able to do it if I felt remorse. I had to lock my emotions away." He got up and walked over to his sister and put an arm around her shoulder. "When that building exploded, I thought I had lost you, and that made it very easy for me to become cold, distant."
"But I'm here, and you never even said hello to me, oniisan." Nanori whispered sorrowfully.
"Gomen, imooto." Hiiro squeezed her shoulder and went back to his laptop.
"Onna. We are almost there, I hope your contact is waiting for us, or we could be in trouble." Wufei entered the cabin, followed by Trowa.
"Stop calling me Onna!" Nanori hissed at Wufei. Wufei smirked and went back to the cockpit. Nanori mentally sighed and followed him. Wufei set down the shuttle craft in a clearing several miles away from the base where Usagi was being held. Trowa pulled the door open and jumped out, followed by Nanori, then Wufei and Hiiro.
"Hiryuu?" A short blue haired woman stepped out of the trees.
"Mizu." Nanori nodded.
"I have the uniforms you requested. We must hurry, before it is noticed that I am gone." Mizu handed the soldier's uniforms to the four Gundam pilots and led them back to a jeep. The pilots slipped the uniforms over their clothes and piled into the jeep for the short drive to the base. Arriving at the base, they all slipped out and went to where they had planned. Mizu went back to her post in the lab room, Nanori took out the guard in front of the holding area, Trowa stayed outside with the Jeep, Hiiro went with Mizu, and Wufei entered the holding area and assumed the post of guarding Usagi's cell.
Hiiro followed Mizu to the lab and stood outside the door, waiting for Mizu to come back out and ask for him to fetch the prisoner. When Mizu reappeared, he nodded and went back to the holding cells, acting out his part.
"Mizu-san requires the presence of the prisoner." Hiiro said in his monotone voice, discreetly watching for passing soldiers.
"Hai. Wait here while I get her." Nanori said and stepped into the holding area. What she found was not what she had planned. Usagi stood over a knocked out Wufei and had his gun aimed at Nanori's head.
"Omae O Koruso." Usagi blinked at the familiar face. "Hiryuu...?" Nanori nodded and waited for Usagi to lower her gun. When she didn't Nanori sighed.
"Dr. M. has sent me and three others to bring you out of this base. One of my partners waits outside, one is in the hall, and the other is on the floor in front of you." Nanori gestured to Wufei, who was slowly sitting up muttering under his breath.
"Daijabou ka, Wufei?" Nanori asked him.
"I'm fine." He growled and stood up looking around cautiously. "That, I presume, is Usagi?" He asked Nanori. Nanori nodded and filled Usagi in on their plan quickly. Usagi nodded when she understood and walked between Nanori and Wufei out of the holding area.
"Hiiro." Nanori said and Hiiro led the way out of the base and back to the Jeep with out anyone spotting them.
"He looks just like you!" Usagi whispered into her partner's ear while pointing to Hiiro.
"Hnn." Nanori grunted and motioned for Usagi to get into the Jeep, then climbed in after her. They were soon on the shuttle and headed back to the Sanq Kingdom, which was a 15min flight in the space flight capable shuttle.
"Hiryuu..." Usagi began questioningly.
"Nanori." Nanori said from her position next to Wufei, her arms crossed and her eyes closed.
"Nori-chan, have you found your brother yet?" Usagi asked hopefuly.
"Hnn."
"Really?! I wanna meet him!" She yelled excitedly.
"You already have." Nanori motioned towards Hiiro without opening her eyes. Hiiro glanced up at Nanori and then shifted his gaze to Usagi.
"You're kidding! He's your brother?!"
"Hnn." Two voices sounded as one.
"And you work with him?"
"Hnn."
"Baka Onna." Wufei muttered under his breath, glaring at Usagi. Nanori opened her eyes and regarded Wufei coldly. "Nani?"
"Your bleeding." Nanori said softly and reached up to wipe away the blood on Wufei's temple. Wufei's eyes widened in surprise at Nanori's soft touch.
"Ehh...sorry bout that... I thought you worked for the other people, so I knocked you over the head with an iron bar that was laying on the floor of my cell." Usagi explained nervously. Wufei didn't respond.
"That cut should probably be tended to." Nanori said and got up to find the Med-Kit. Pulling out some butterfly bandages, first aid cream, cotton swabs, and disinfectant, she began to clean Wufei's cut.
"I can do it onna." Wufei grumbled, but made no move to stop Nanori.
"Hnn." Was the only response he got. Wufei settled back and glared at anyone who looked at him, letting Nanori take care of his wounds. Usagi giggled quietly at the sight. She didn't think Wufei was the kind of person to depend on others. Actually, now that I think about it, none of the people on the shuttle seem that way, including Nanori. She seems so much more withdrawn since I last saw her. Much like I am. Usagi sighed softly and looked out the window.
Flashback:
"They're all gone... Everyone... I watched them all age and die. Why must I be cursed with Immortality!?" A young woman stood on a cliff overlooking a large body of water. "I have nothing left here. The earth has new protectors, the saiya-jins. Chaos is now a part of me, I had to absorb it, to fuse with it, to stop it. It will no longer bother this universe, so why can't I leave?!" A gust of wind blew the silvery-blonde hair out of the woman's face to reveal a crying Usagi. A brilliant light surrounded her and when it disappeared, Usagi was gone.
End flashback.
"Come on, Usagi." Nanori's monotone voice broke Usagi out of her trance like state. Usagi looked up and nodded, then followed her long time friend out of the shuttle craft.
"Where are we?" Usagi asked looking around the space port. Her eyes settled on two boys about the same age as the boys Nanori worked with that were standing in front of her.
"Hello, Ms. Usagi. This is a space port just outside of the Sanq Kingdom." Said the platinum blonde. The other boy just stared at her and drooled. "My name is Quatre Rebarbre Winner. This is Duo, and I see you have already met Trowa, Hiiro and Wufei." Quatre pointed out each boy as he said their names.
"Hello Quatre, Duo." Usagi nodded to them. The Sanq Kingdom?! I can't believe I'm almost home! I wonder how Relena and Miliardo are doing. Usagi thought to herself. I hope they're still alive and made it through the war with OZ. Puu said they would, but she also said when she involves herself in things, her ability to see the future of that time line grows weaker. Usagi looked up to find that Nanori was sitting in the driver's seat of a dark green convertible that looked like it dated from the era just after Crystal Tokyo fell. Wufei was in the passenger seat, but the rest of the boys were climbing into a black jeep. Usagi climbed into the back seat of Nanori's car and started asking questions.
"Nori-chan, what's new?" Usagi asked leaning on the back of Wufei's seat.
"OZ was in control of the earth for a little while until Miliardo Peacecraft broke the supposed peace and fought for the colonies' right for independence. Eventually, his sister Relena convinced him that peace could be achieved without fighting and a peace treaty was signed between the earth and the colonies. Now there are two factions fighting, the Merilista group and the Tarawa organization. The Merilista organization has built a colony in space and as kept it's location a secret in fear of an attack from the Tarawa organization. The Merilistas have adopted a pacifistic style of partial isolationism which has angered the members of the Tarawa organization. Eventually, this has escalated so that each organization has a large number of followers, and could eventually lead to violence. I have recently discovered through contacts of mine that there are double agents working for a third and unnamed faction. This faction most likely wants to use the existing conflict as a cover-up for its plans of world domination. Which is why we are to be stationed in the Sanq Kingdom, where the head quarters of the Preventers is located." Nanori explained without taking her eyes off the road.
"The Preventers?" Usagi asked while trying to take in all the information just given to her.
"A group established to keep the peace after OZ was removed from power." Wufei supplied. "This is common information. Why do you not know it?"
"I have been working on an assignment that has kept me out of the recent affairs of the world." Was Usagi's answer. Nanori glanced at Usagi in the rear-view mirror questioningly. Usagi shrugged and sat back in the seat for the rest of the ride.
Okie...I think I should end it there. Nanori's explanation is as close to what happened in the GW timeline as I can figure out. Please REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
