Chapter 5

When they arrived at the colony perimiters they were confronted by an army of advanced mobile dolls and mobile suits.

"Deity, we'll hold off them off and divert their attention! Get inside and complete your mission." said Cero.

"Thanx!" said Deity quickly slicing through two mobile dolls as she made her way to one of the many colony entrances.

"Good luck....." Cero said as he watched her vanish into the colony.



Deity fought off suit after suit and her patience was wearing thin. She did her best to not kill, only to maim, and she wanted to tell these soliders how easily they could end their lives. Yet she didn't. She never knew any goddess or angel being that kind with humanity, yet maybe she was sent to bring revolution to such ideals. She cleared her mind of such non- sense and entered the colony. She flew inside and accessed the data given to her on Ballingtons where-abouts. She saw that he was stationed at a large conglomerate building in the middle of the colony and she landed directly infront of it. She opened com communications and hailed them.

At ballington's main monitoring room a face appeared on all screens and monitors. Ballington frowned and and said "What is the meaning of this?"

"It seems to be one of the gundam pilots sir! She's hacked into our systems and has created a lock to keep us from shutting her out!" said a young solider.

"What do you want gundam pilot?" asked Ballington.

Deity kept an unemotional mask on as she answered. "I want you to end this! We gundam pilot's are here to end this with or without bloodshed. We choose to try without and in order for that to happen I need your cooperation."

"And how would you suggest we go about that?" he asked in a humored curiosity of a madman.

"Surrender Ballington." she said quick and to the point.

"I think not girl!" he scoffed.

"I know what you've gone through Ballington and I can relate. You saved me once, now let me return the favor."

"I don't blame you for telling lies. It is human nature after all, but it will not sway my decision if you tell lies about my past. In fact I will not tolerate such deviant behavior."

"I speak the truth Ballington, but it seems the kind man I once knew is no longer present. I was the little girl that you pulled off that pile of debris on L2." She pulled off her gloves and put her hands infront of the monitor, revealing hideous scars. "I obtained these scars by digging through a pile of broken glass, cynder blocks and wood with ruted nails. You were the one who bandaged them ten years ago."

"That girl died along time ago in the tent with the other children." he said in a soft tone.

"No I didn't! I ecsacped to go look for my family and ecscaped being killed in that tragedy."

"LIES!!!! ALL LIES!!!! SHOOT HER DOWN!!!" he screamed.

Mobile suits and Mobile Dolls flew out from an under ground opening and began firing and attacking her. She growled in frustration and then flew back a few feet. She pulled out her Sycthe and it's neon purple laser came on. She flew forward and with three swipes destroyed six suits. She then did a 360 and took out another six. She kept using her sycthe until all suits were disabled and mobile dolls destroyed. Tired and slightly angered she flew back towards the bulding and She crashed through the building and into a latge office filled with monitors and computers. She opened Archangels cockpit and hopped out. She ran towards Ballington, pulling a browning high power from her space suit as she did. Just as she was making her dash towards Ballington, the other gundams arrived and landed infront of the building. Cero could only watch in what seemed like slow motion as Deity ran towards Ballington. Her crystal cross fell from it's safe place in her clevage, the same place where the gun had been; and dangled from her neck as she ran. Ballington held up a pistol that he had been holding at his side and pulled the trigger.

A shot rang out and Deity's body jerked back slightly but no sound came from her. As she continued running towards him, her crimson blood flowed down her left arm. He fired again and this time only knicking her cheek, where the evidence was a crimson line that slowly flowed down her cheek. He fired again and missed. He fired a fourth time, hitting her braid and causing her hair to fall tumble out and flow through the air as she continued her charge. She lifted her browning high power as he fired his fifth bullet. She jerked back again as a red spot began forming on her left leg. She aimed and at the same time that she pulled the trigger he pulled his firing his last bullet. Time seemed to stop as the shots rang out. Ballington's head flew back and a crimson hole appeared in the middle of his forehead. Deity's crystal cross shatterd into the air as Deity lowered her gun. She stood there a moment and then her legs gave way and she collapsed to the floor.

Cero held his breath as he saw Deity lower her gun and then he saw her legs begin to buckle and he ran towards her. Panic crossed his features and his mind screamed one possibility out of many and that was "she's dead". He ran over to her and kneeled beside her lifting her head gently onto his lap. He looked into her open violet eyes and he smiled. She smiled back and reached for his face and just as her hand touched his jaw her eyes closed and her head turned to the side. Panic and fear once again crossed his usually happy face as he looked up at the others.

"HURRY!!! GET A MEDIC TEAM OUT HERE ASAP!!!!!!" He yelled.

Hakan contacted Lady Une and informed her that they needed medical on the double and as soon as he said it Shen Li knelt beside Deity and saw that she was still breathing.

"She's just unconcious!" He yelled to the others who breathed a breath of relief. Cero sighed and held Deity in his lap and stroked her hair. Shen Li found A jacket on a chair and ripped it into strips as he began to dress some of Deity's wounds. As he did both he and Cero saw that the bullet that Deity's life had been saved by her Crystal cross, which was now only a piece of small crystal and a gold chain that still remained around her neck. Cero gently lifted Deity into his arms and he stood up walking towards his gundam. He got in and gently craddled Deity on his lap.

"Tell the medical ship that I'll meet them half way." he said before closing his gundams hatch.

He contacted Lady Une and said "We need a mobile suit carrier."

"For what?" asked Wufei.

"To pick up Deity's Gundam." He said as he strted his gundam.

he then contacted the other pilots. "Are you guys coming?"

"We'll be right behind you!" said Zorya.

Cero took off.

They got Deity on board the medic ship and then flew back to earth. Deity was admitted into a local military hospital near the air base. There they removed the bullets from her left shoulder and her left leg, stitched her up, bandaged her wounds and put her in a room. Three days passed when she finally woke up and when she did everyone made a sigh of relief.

She slowly opened her eyes and as she did blurred faces and colorful images filled her vision. She blinked a few times and when she looked around she saw a nurse checking a monitor, that was hooked up to her. She had some sort of respirator over her mouth and nose that prevented her from speaking, that and her throat was dry. She moved her right arm and caught the nurses jacket and tugged on it a little. The nurse turned to face her and gasped. The nurse turned off the respirator and helped Deity take the mask off.

"How are you feeling?" asked the nurse.

Deity frowned and said "I'm in a hospital, how do you think I feel!?"

The nurse laughedand stood up straight. "I'll go get the doctor. It's noon so your usual guests should be here shortly." she said taking her leave.

Deity used the buttons on a remote to make the bed move to put her in a sitting position. She heard laughter and when she looked up at her doorway she saw Duo, Cero, Hakan, Zorya, Shien Li and Lady Une enter.

"Awake I see." said Lady Une.

Deity nodded and winced in pain as she moved her left arm.

"Still sore?" asked Duo.

Deity sighed and said "No, the drugs are wearing off."

Duo and the others laughed. Deity smiled but frowned when she saw the Dr. enter. He walked over to her and began checking her shoulder and other injuries. Deity growled so the Dr. finished quickly.

"Ms. Deity I have to ask you a few questions." said the Dr.

"Ask away." said Deity.

"What day is it?"

"What kind of oxymoron bullshit question is that?! I've been unconcious for god knows how long and your gonna ask me what day it is!?"

"Whats your full name?" he asked slightly perturbed.

"You said it earlier you dork!"

"How old are you?"

"THAT'S IT! ENOUGH QUESTIONS! WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU!? ASKING A WOMAN HER AGE!" ranted Deity.

"Well all your answers; although you were rather rude and obnoxious, show that your normal. Although that might be going a little far." stated the Dr.

Deity leaned over the bed and picked up the plastic bedpan and threw it at the doctor as he left. The others couldn't stop laughing. The group stayed and talked a while and left gifts they had brought her before they were about to leave. Before they left Shen Li tossed a velvet pouch to Deity. She caught it and then gave a confused look. My mother was one of the Dr.'s that took care of you, so this is a present from her and the gundam gang." he said before leaving. Deity waited until he was gone and then she poured the contents into her palm. She smiled widely when she saw the six bullets that had been fired at her, the pieces of her shattered crystal cross and a folded note. The folded note read "Thought these would be a neat souvenier! Shen Li" She pourd the contents back into the bag and layed back sighing as she began contemplating her next move.
