Prelude to Massacre

Sorry about the long wait! Reveiws keep me going! I promise on my GW obsession, the updates will come faster now that I'm back from camp! ~Ryoko Yuy~ ENJOY! ^_^

As they all went their separate ways, none could fully grasp the enormity of the leader's lust for revenge. All this destruction, all this hatred: for revenge. Trowa, Sally and Relena traveled down their appointed corridor, setting explosives as they went. The corridor was dimly lit and the lights cast eerie shadows along the walls. The hallway was metal and their feet echoed dully as they crept down the corridor. "Strange.." "What's strange Trowa?" Relena asked "We haven't met any guards." He replied "Such an organization is usually heavily guarded." Sally cut in "But from what I understand, this man is insane. He might be playing mind games with us, setting us up for a trap.." "How right you are little lady" a voice from the shadows hissed. Trowa and Sally spun around guns in hand. Sally demanded "Who are you!? Come out now!" "Oh, I'll do more than come out, the voice said, "I'll set in motion you're execution!" With a sadistic laugh the figure cloaked in black leap from the shadows. His sword drawn. His attack was heading straight for Relena. *********** Meanwhile Quatre and Wufei were having the exact opposite experience. They were in the middle of a 10 to 2 hand to hand combat match. The men opposing them were all stockily built. The shortest looked at least 6ft tall and the tallest was well over 7'. They were all dressed in black and wore ski masks to hide their faces. Perhaps the strangest thing was that they carried no weapons. The men had managed to separate Quatre and Wufei. However, they seemed to be trying to enclose WuFei while 6 out of 10 went for Quatre. Hoping to take the weak one first and be left with full force to tackle the other kid. The four men on Wufei had formed a circle around him and rained in blows from all sides. Wufei was moving with the grace of a well practiced fighter, his feet and hands moving faster than could be followed to block and deliver attacks. Quatre's cry of pain was all Wufei needed to give him the edge over these guys. With a cry of rage Wufei ducked under a man's fist and struck him hard in the side of the neck dropping him unconscious. But a well timed kick from the largest man sent Wufei flying. As he recovered himself the three remaining men had formed a circle around him again, but Wufei was ready. He feinted toward the large man but ducked left, slammed his knuckle into the wind pipe of the man on his left. Delt a ferocious back-kick to the man behind and jumping up into the air graced the large man with a spinning kick to the head and follow through punch in the stomach. All the men down he turned to help Quatre. But it was too late. The Men surrounding Quatre had succeded in rendering him unconscious. Blood flowed from a laceration across his temple and the men leering over him delt harsh kicks to his ribs. Wufei stealthily slid behind to off the men and knocked them out with his famous karate chop on the side of the neck attack. With their attention on him, the four remaing men stopped on Quatre and advanced on Wufei. With a cry that spoke through the ages Wufei Lept into the air and executed a flying spinning hook-kick and with that final blow the last of the men fell unconscious. Wufei rushed to Quatre, hoping he wasn't to late to save the gentle pilot. ******** Zechs and Noin had found to opposition in their corridor and soon found it to meet up with one coming from the outer hallways. "Should we follow this one?" "Yes." Zechs replied They set off down the metal corridor. As they walked they set explosives on the walls. Suddenly, upahead they heard a battle cry. They took off down the hallway and turned the corner just in time to see the swordsman in black charging toward Relena with a drawn and deadly sword. ********* Heero and Duo had met no opposition at all. It was almost as if they were expected. 'With this guy I wouldn't be surprised if he told the guards to let us pass on purpose, just so he would fight us at full strength.' Heero thought. Suddenly they came to a large ornamental wooden door that looked out of place in the previously all grey metal structure. "This is it." Heero said softly "This is where it all ends." "You sure you're ready for this Heero?" Duo asked with concern "Yeah, as ready as I can be to face the past." With that statement Heero swung open the large doors and stepped into the room. The room was large with thick red velvet drapes covering the walls. The Room had a stone floor covered by a blood red carpet lined with gold. The only light in the room came from a lamp above a 10ft tall picture of a single yellow flower.The solitary light cast deep shadows around the room. A voice came from the shadows, a voice that could freeze your soul. "Welcome Heero Yuy. Welcome to the end of your reality!"
