Last time on Tricks Of Fate: Heero comes back to fine Relena missing. He finds her, but she is changed. No one knows what torment she had gone through, to make her go insane. And Heero can't do anything to help her, but he had a dream that reminded him of a past forgotten, of a face in shadows. A vengeful voice.

Chapter 3 Heero's Torment

No matter what they did, they could not calm her down. She would always wake up screaming after a sedated sleep. She would wake up looking confused but as soon as she remembered, she would start sobbing and screaming as if she was in pain. "Stay away from me. Leave me alone. Don't come near me. Don't touch me. Let me go. Don't make me look at you." Was what she would shout out, every time. They couldn't imagine what had been done to her but hearing her tormented cries, Heero felt torn up inside, and he couldn't do anything. He couldn't comfort her, and he had failed to protect her. He had thought she would be safe, while he would go to sort things out. She should have been safe, but he was wrong. All he had wanted to do was sort out his past and prepare for the future, but now that he was back, everything had gone wrong. How could this happen? Why was this happening? Who was doing this? But he knew who could be partly responsible. Damon. That was his name. That is what that dream told him. But... was it possible? Could the dream be telling him something? Was Serpent really responsible for this? He had said he would get revenge on Heero, for that accident. The accident that turned him to a hideous monster, inside and out.

He was 11 and his training was nearing its end. All that was left was for him to finish learning the information he needed about the military bases and how to crack through the computer security codes. Basically, to hack into computers at the highest level. There was someone else though. Someone Dr.J was training as well. Someone who was close to Heero, but they grew to be rivals, and he hated Heero, especially after the accident. The boy's name was Damon and Dr. J was training him as well. The strongest would be chosen to pilot the Gundam. It hadn't really mattered to Heero, but Damon was obsessed with it and began hating Heero especially when Dr.J chose Heero. One night, Damon came after Heero while he was in bed and kidnapped him while he was sleeping, sedating him. When Heero woke up, he found himself in a strange warehouse, tied up. He saw Damon and asked what he wanted. Damon just laughed. "I'm going to make you suffer, and then, I'm going to kill you. No one will find you. And then, I will be the one piloting the Gundam." He started beating up Heero. While taking Damon's punches and kicks, Heero also was trying to untie himself. Eventually, he freed himself from the ropes, and began to fight back, even though every part of his body hurt and left arm was broken. Heero was stronger than Damon and that is why Dr. J had chosen him. After a few punches and kicks, Damon was on the floor. "You shouldn't have done this, Damon." Said Heero. "I haven't finished with you yet." Shouted Damon, rushing at Heero with a metal bar. Heero dodged him easily by stepping out of his way, and Damon ran into a glass cylinder filled with some sort of dark liquid, breaking it. "Damon!" shouted Heero. The chemical washed over Damon. Electricity went through his body and there was a long, snake like creature wrapping itself around Damon's body, while he screamed out in pain. Heero looked on in shock, and stepped back. "You'll pay for this. I'll make you pay." Screamed Damon with his last breath. The next day, Heero tried to find out about the boy from Dr.J but he wouldn't tell him anything.

Is this how he is paying me back? Using Relena? I can't let... he shouldn't have involved Relena. He frowned and gritted his teeth. Then his face relaxed, and there was death in his eyes. You shouldn't have involved Relena. With that, Heero vowed to himself to find Damon and kill him.

The next day, as Heero was preparing to leave in search of Damon, he found an envelope with a serpent like creature drawn on the top left side of it. He opened it and found a little note. As he read it, anger showed on his face and then he crushed the note, in his fist.

(A/N: Sorry this chapter is shorter than the ones before. What does the note say? What will happen next? To be honest, I'm not sure, but I'm sure I'll think of something. Any ideas? Please review, please. Tell me if you like it or not. Any feedback/response is welcome.)
