Desperation
Author's Note: Hey all! Because of FF.net's outage, I couldn't post it when I said I would, and then I got really distracted. I'm really really really sorry. Anyways, I had a great birthday and I got a really cool stereo (that you can't have). Well I suppose you want to get to the chapter so here's the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing or any of their affiliates. Don't sue me because I don't have anything except my new stereo and you're not getting that.
The space carrier landed and Tara and Duo got out. About thirty feet away, there was small five-room cabin. On the porch of the cabin was a bench swing and two rocking chairs. Tara and Duo approached the cabin, as the door was slightly ajar. Inside, they found Trista and Trowa talking on the sofa.
"Oh! Hello, Tara, Duo," said a surprised Trista as the couple walked in, "I hope you had no complications getting your Gundam?"
Tara smiled, "No serious ones, though, heaven forbid, Duo may be a little bit smarter, if nothing else."
Duo was about to say something but was interrupted by a beeping. A screen came down in front of them and a voice could be heard.
"Welcome pilots. This place is called 'Desperation' because the locals say you must be desperate for a place to live to live here. This means you will get no unwanted visits. There are two bedrooms with two beds in each. It is up to you to figure who sleeps where and with whom."
"But what about the others?" asked someone.
"Pilots 01, 04, 05, 06, 09, and 10 will not be joining you. 04,05, 09, and 10 are stationed on the colonies while 01 and 06 are on a mission in the Sank Kingdom.
"03 and 08, you are both best at infiltration. We have assignments for each of you to retrieve information regarding OZ and its supporters from its bases. Do you accept these missions or do you deny them?"
Trowa and Trista looked towards each other. They searched each other's eyes to see the other's answer. They answered simultaneously.
"We accept."
"We were hoping you would say that. In the first bedroom is a magenta laptop and a hunter green laptop. Each contain mission specifics. The way you go about getting the information from the bases is up to you as long as you are as inconspicuous as possible."
Trowa and Trista both got up and went to see what their missions were.
"02 and 07, you are both seem to be best at destruction. On the screen before you, you will see different OZ bases, should you choose to accept, it will be your mission to destroy these bases and everything on or in them. Do you accept?"
Tara cocked her head to one side, then nodded, "I am the Soldier of Destruction and Silence, I cannot deny my nature."
Duo grinned and said, "I am the God of Death, gotta do my job."
The screen in front of them flashed and the first of many OZ bases they had to destroy came up. They were told all they needed to know when Trowa and Trista rejoined them.
"You each have a week to finish your first missions. We will contact you at the end of the week. We will know if any unexpected complications pop up and we will notify you. Good day and good luck."
And (if you hadn't guessed by now) the Doctors' voices went away. The screen in front of them disappeared and everything was as they first saw it.
"Well, that was fun," Tara said, her voice dripping in sarcasm.
Trista smiled and said "Tara, you and I will take the first bedroom and Duo and Trowa took the second." They were all quite tired and went to their respective beds and went to sleep.
Tara was the first one to wake the next morning. She got up and made breakfast for everybody. Trista and Trowa joined her shortly after she awoke. After they had finished eating, they resolved to wake Duo up. Tara volunteered, as she was his partner. Tara went into the room that Duo and Trowa shared with a cup of ice water.
"Duo!"
"What? What? Aaah!" Splash.
"What the...! Why'd you have to do that?! Tara?!"
Tara giggled and left the room saying, "If you want breakfast come now, or I'm giving it to the ducks."
"WHAT?! I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Duo ran into the kitchen and wolfed down what was left of breakfast. Tara, Trowa, and Trista were in the living room discussing what they were doing that day. Trowa and Trista were starting their missions, as were Tara and Duo.
Outside, there was a jeep for Trowa and Trista to use. Trowa and Trista got what they needed and left. Duo and Tara went to their space carrier and unloaded Glaive and Scythe. They flew their Gundams to the two different bases they each had to destroy.
Glaive got to 'her' base first. The base was about fifty miles from Desperation and easy to reach. The base was small and would be easy to destroy. Tara took Glaive to the edge of the wood that surrounded the base. She raised her beam glaive and turned it horizontal as she whispered "Glaive Beam Destruction." A beam of violet black power washed over the base and in a silent scream, the base crumbled. There was no signs of life in the area that had once been a bustling military base, but there wouldn't be. Hotaru Tomoe, Sailor Saturn, knew how to do her job and she always did it well.
Duo reached the base he was to destroy and jumped out of his suit. The base was the same size as the one Tara had destroyed. Duo crept around and in the base planting bombs. After he was finished with that, he escaped to his Gundam and hit the button that detonated the bombs in the base blowing it and its contents to dust. Duo grinned, "The God of Death strikes again."
Trowa, dressed in an OZ uniform he confiscated from an officer, made his way to the control room. Inside he took a disc and downloaded everything off the computer. After he was done he made his way outside and stole a jeep. Trowa left the base, satisfied with his spoils, and made his way back to Desperation.
Trista used her powers to transform into an OZ Lt. and made her way into the OZ base where she was to get the information she needed. Unquestioned, Trista went to the control room and downloaded the bases hard drive onto a disk. She left the base and got into her jeep then went back to Desperation.
The four made it back at roughly the same time. They had dinner and were left to do what they wanted. Tara and Duo played chess while Trowa played his flute outside. Trista was in the room she and Tara shared going over the information Trowa and she had gotten on her laptop.
Tara had won for the eight time when Trista yelled out to them.
"Guys, come here!"
They all ran to Trista to see what she wanted.
On the screen of Trista's laptop was a picture of a girl. The girl had blackish blue-gray hair and blue-gray eyes. Her fair skin stood out against her waist-length wavy hair.
"Do any of you know who Tempest Dracon(pronounced Dray-con) is?"
A.N. So how'd you like it? Well, tell me in that little box down there! Anyways, I started school and I broke my promise so I'll try to get the next one out as soon as possible. Oh, and I need at least 8 reviews before I post the next.
