Relena watched as her kidnapper made an announcement declaring war on both the Earth and colonies. *This is stupid* She thought, *What is his purpose? Declaring war on the Earth AND colonies. Nothing could be gain from this!*
The camera clicked off.
"Well Miss Relena?" 'he' said, "What did you think of my...performance?"
"Why would you ask for my opinion anyway? You know my answer. What you're doing completely disgusts me!" Relena said.
'He' laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Relena demanded, "Who are you anyway?"
"You are but a child, so naive. You are not up to any of these challenges that come your way. You depend on your friends a lot to get you out of situations." 'He' said, "I'll tell you who I am, my name is Yurici Finof, leader of the Silver Rose."
Relena tried to concentrate on who he was, but what he had said earlier stuck in her mind. 'You are not up to any of these challenges that come your way.' She didn't want to believe it, but she knew a part of it was true, she didn't feel up to the challenges of the wars. "Silver Rose...you will not do any better than the White Fang or any other groups such as it."
"Think what you like, hide what you detest. In the end, everything will be destroyed."
- -- - -- -- - -- -
The gundam pilots sat in shock as the words of war sank in.
"Duo!? Quatre!?" Hotaru's voice rang from the phone.
"We won't ever escape, will we?" Quatre asked, "One after another after another. It just keeps going on!"
"Now it's going to be harder than ever!" Duo added to the argument.
Hotaru looked at them sadly, "Don't lose heart." she told them, "Think of it this way...once you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere else to go but up. Things will improve."
"And what if they don't?" Duo asked.
"Then you haven't hit rock bottom yet. There's still hope. Don't lose faith." Hotaru told them, "I think you should come back."
"What's the point? If we keep searching, we'll find Relena." Quatre said.
"Search with heart and you'll see the light soon, search without hope and wander lost forever."
"Hotaru's right." Trowa spoke for the first time since they heard the news, "Maybe it's better if we went back and rested a bit. Hotaru, how's Heero?"
"Oh...you'll have to come back and see." This time, her voice held a hint of amusement, "See you later."
The phone clicked off.
"Well... I think Heero's all better now!" Duo said, "Hotaru wouldn't be happy like that if he wasn't! I think we should go back! Any one object? No? Let's go!" Duo gave them no time to respond before he raced off.
The others hesitated for a moment before, they too, raced off to prepare for the trip back.
- -- - -- -- - -- -
Heero Yuy sat on his hospital bed, laptop on his knees. His hands flew across the keyboard as he searched for news of Relena.
"Hnn... the transmission cut off before we could get a lock on it and trace its location." Heero said to himself, "I don't see how they could've done that... the message was on for a full 5 minutes!" He shook his head. "This enemy may be more than meets the eye. It seems he has the advantage over us right now, but that won't last long!"
"Hey Heero!" a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Hnn...?" he said without looking up.
"HEERO! It's me, Duo!" Duo said, "How ya doing, buddy?"
"Fine."
"You sure man?" Duo's face grew sober, "The doctors said that you were pretty bad. Lots of injuries as well as overdose of some kind of drug. Heero, you could've died, you know?"
Heero's hands paused over the keyboard, "What did you say?" After the wars, he has learned a lot. He no longer went on missions and he valued his life, a lot.
"I said... you could've died! It's surprising that you survived! What I want to know is how? The doctors said you were in a coma and had little chance of waking up!"
"I don't know." Heero said.
"Hey Heero!" Quatre said as he came in.
Trowa and Wufei raised their hands to signal a greeting. Heero merely nodded, acknowledging them.
"Any sign of Relena?" Heero asked.
Quatre shook his head, "Sorry Heero, we looked everywhere! We couldn't find her."
Heero nodded again, "I see."
"Where's Hotaru?" Duo asked, his eyes searching for her, "She was supposed to be looking after you."
"I'm not a kid anymore." Heero said, slightly annoyed, "She went outside for a moment."
"Sure, sure." Duo said.
Clank. Clank.
They all heard the familiar clanking of Dr. J's metal hand as it gripped the door knob. The door swung open and there he stood, his grey hair tied back, and his figure slightly slouching.
"Heero," he said in his voice, surprisingly young for a man who looked so old, "How are you doing?"
"Fine."
"Good. I have a mission for you. And you, you, you and you." he said, pointing to the other gundam pilots.
The pilots stood dumbfounded for a moment. None of them were sent on a mission ever since the ending of the last war.
"You are to look for Queen Relena." he said, full of authority. "You will find her and rescue her at all costs. You may have to give up your life for this mission. This is NOT a joke. Mission accepted or denied?"
Quatre, Trowa, Duo, Wufei and Heero were at a loss of speech. Each of them realized the importance of this mission and if they accepted, they will have to rescue the Queen despite the danger. They all realized what would happen if they denied this mission: the wars will rage on burning everything in its path until there is nothing left.
"Mission accepted." Heero said.
Dr. J merely nodded and left.
- -- - -- -- - -- -
Hotaru walked out of Heero's room after she finished talking to Duo. She made the excuse of getting something to eat and left. She walked slowly to the lobby so she would have time to think.
*This world, this war is so much more extreme then ours ever were. Millions of lives had died in the war in my realm, but war is so much more. How many more lives would be lost?*
Hotaru found that she reached the vending machine all too soon. She dropped her coin into the slot and got a bag of chips. It wasn't as if she ate junk food often, but this situation required it. She then took the elevator back up to Heero's level and saw an old man leave.
She walked up into Heero's room and saw the gundam pilots sitting there stoned faced and not moving.
"What happened?" Hotaru asked.
"We're going to look for Relena." Heero said in his infamous monotone.
His tone shocked Hotaru but also made her realize how much more severe it was this time.
"What's going to happen?"
"We are going to find her....or die trying."
