By Hotaru Hope Maxwell
I do not own SM or GW or any animes I am thus using. So there! ^_^ Also, some of the characters, like the villains do belong to me. JA!
Hotaru looked at the pale warrior whom had yet to identify himself. "Are you serious?" She hissed lightly. He nodded quietly, watching her quietly. Wufei sneered, his black coal eyes alight with laughter, "As if the weak onna could build something that powerful." He spoke. "Don't underestimate normal people Wufei. Where I come from, they'd destroyed their own world for power and revenge." Hotaru glared at Une. "And sometimes they messed with what they shouldn't…" Quatre spoke for her. Nodding her head, she glared at Une. "As long as the gates of time and dimensions continue to exist, she cannot and will not be able to get that machine to work. The only way of time travel is through the gates of time." Hotaru's violet orbs pierced the older woman's dark brown ones. "Say what?" Duo spoke out. Hotaru looked to the Gundam pilots. "Sailor Pluto, one of my guardians was the guard to the gate of time. She is a descendant of Chronos and Hades, gods of time and death." The girl stated, crossing her arms. "So…I take it we're going to go stop her?" Quatre questioned lightly, pulling his knees to his chest as he glanced at the other pilots through shaded blue orbs. Hotaru turned her eyes softly on him before speaking, "I'm in." She stated, a simple 2 words meaning so much. "Hn…I accept the mission…." Heero grunted. "Well I'm not about to let my 2 best buddies in the world and my girlfriend go on a trip to stop a psycho by themselves! You better count me in on this mission!" Duo cheerfully grinned, walking over and putting an arm around Hotaru's shoulders. Hotaru blushed, then snickered at the playfulness of her brunette koi. "I agree as well." Trowa nodded, placing a hand atop Quatre's shoulder. Hotaru nearly fell out of her seat with a giggle when she noted the scarlet blonde haired boy. He was red all the way to his hair roots. Wufei huffed, crossing his arms about his chest before he spoke, "I will not allow Maxwell to screw this thing up. And if it is as important as Maxwell's onna says, then it is my duty to stop the Lt." Hotaru chuckled lightly as Duo rolled his eyes in a laughing manner. "Very well then…" Une spoke with a nod.
###2 days later
Hotaru sneezed, her teeth clenching in the cold. Sure, she was an outer senshi, Gundam pilot and born heir of destruction. But her body was never one to like cold weather like the freezing temperatures of this arctic area. Of course, to make matters worse than they already were, Heero had decided to team herself and Wufei up with himself on the destructive part. So, she couldn't do anything remotely like a complaint for fear of Wufei''s constant babble about weak onnas. Pulling up the black leather jacket about her body even tighter, she sniffled. The warm scent of Duo's cologne brushing against her lightly pink nose as a blush went scarlet across her features. She hoped that the energetic and careless braided teen was all right. He and Trowa were inside, locating the device she and the other 2 had to destroy. As for Quatre and his Maginac (SP help here people?) they were at the time causing a huge chaos. Suddenly the beeper in the jacket pocket went flaring up with sound. Hotaru gasped, looking down shocked. She glared, seeing a side of the building blow. "Damn Duo and his pranks." She hissed, crossing her arms over her shoulder. "I heard that, T!" A voice came from inside the pocket. Hotaru removed a little black box like beeper. "Hello D. What's the news?" She stated, her voice stating all business. "We've located the main office, but cannot get in." Trowa's voice came over the radio. Hotaru nodded, glancing at Heero from across her shoulder. It didn't take a fool to know who the best hackers were of the team. Heero for being on the computer all the time, Duo for his sneakiness and herself from working with advanced technology from the start of senshi work. "We're on our way…" Hotaru giggled, obvious hearing Duo grumble to Trowa over the speaker. Turning she went to get the other pilots.
Hotaru lifted up her gun, hands steadily upon the weapon as she raced down one of the dark hallways. The foursome (Quatre, Wufei, Heero and herself) had decided the best entrance was forced through the different halls. It kept the soldiers at bay and gave room for the groups to cut lose or hold back as they willed. She turned, shooting some more men and women in the legs. Once she reached a fork, she pulled out a tracking device. Going left instead of the right, she ran toward the other pilots.
When Hotaru reached her destination she was startled to find no pilots. Blinking once no twice, she hissed slightly when footsteps came into her ears. Hotaru glared at the steadily approaching shadow. It grew larger as light began to dance in the hall down from her own. Pushing herself through the door, she gasped in light shock. A spinning vortex of darkness consumed her as she called out…
Spinning and spiraling, the worlds never seemed to stop. "D-chan!" Duo heard Hotaru's sweet voice yell to him as the world went black. "T…" His vision lost, the man drifted into a deep sleep, dreams and thoughts filled only upon his love…
Noin snickered slightly, her dark blue eyes laughing as she watched the Gundam Pilots fall towards the unknown from her watchtower. "Commander? Was it such a good idea to test our project on the pilots?" A scientist came up. "Of course my sweet Noin was correct. If you show any more doubt toward her, we will have you executed." A pale haired general known as Milliardo Peacecraft stepped up, hugging the black haired woman about the upper arms. She sighed contently before speaking, "We finally got our revenge, Milli…" She grinned mischievously.
TBC…
Next time on TOT Hotaru meets a new senshi and a new mission begins. But can Hotaru accomplish what even the gods could not do?
