Chapter 13
--------------------
She picked up her books and cassually stepped out of the room. Putting them away quickly, she picked up her henshin stick. She looked herself over. Not that she was complaining...but every bone in her body ached.
She hadn't recovered still from several battles, and kept fighting more before she gave her body a chance to recover. Planning to be a doctor, she knew this. Doctor... She stared at her hands. Could hands that killed also heal? Would she even be able to acheive her dream? She shook her head. Now was not the time. She wouldn't let Setsuna down.
She Transformed.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Duo ran through the hallways like a mad man, late for his class. He stopped when he saw Ami leaning against the wall near the office. The office was darkened. He was about to call out to her when he saw her pull something out.
A light blue wand? He stayed silent for a few seconds, as she stared at her hands. Then she shook her head and threw the wand in the air. She shouted something in japanese and there was a bright light. He shielded his eyes, and the light dissapeared. In Ami's place stood mercury.
Duo looked behind him. 2 people stood im the hallway behind him, but paid him no mind. He couldn't here their whole conversation, but was able to pick up bits and pieces.
"Mercury, Ambush, Death and trap" were a few of the words he picked up.
"She doesn't have a chance," one said with a laugh, dissapearing. The other laughed and followed.
She approached the door to the office. She hesitated. Duo wondered by. She grabbed a pamphlet from the magazine rack next to the door.
She pushed the pamphlet against the handle. There was a slight zapping sound, she removed the pamphlet and stared at it. Was there a black mark where the paper had been? He leaned over more to see- and leaned too far.
He fell over. Ami turned from the sound.
"Duo, what are you doing here? Get to your class, it's not safe," she snapped, obviously not in the mood. She drew her hands back.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" The door froze. She gave it a hard kick. It shattered.
"Um- A- Mercury, that door cost the school an arm and a leg. Relena had that imported from-," Mercury turned to glare, her visor already on her face.
"but, I have some thing to tell you," he said.
"Not now."
"but it's important," he started.
"DUO."
He ran off.
'If she won't listen, I'll have to get her help,' he thought.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She peaked her head in the darkened room. She knew the principle had left for a meeting, and that the secretary was sick. So that meant, Relena would have been given control over the school for the day. And Relena wasn't in class, so....
Something was thrown at Mercury's head as she leaned in the doorway.
She instinctively ducked. She slowly stood up. There was a dagger deep in the frame of the doorway. Her head turned to face the newcomer, but before she could see who it was, she was tackled to the floor. A small yelp escaped her lips. She kicked whoever it was on top of her away.
Standing up she looked around. Someone grabbed her by the throat. She let out a scream. She opened her eyes a crack. Relena. She had a possesed look on her face and was clearly being controlled by the enemy. Her face was twisted in rage.
Ami managed to kick her away, which wasn't that easy of a task because people being controlled by the enemy were usually very strong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duo ran down the hall like a mad man again. He missed the classroom door as he skidded to a stop and everyone in the classroom heard a crash. He went back and peeked his head in the classroom, out of breath and face red.
"Duo Maxwell, what are you doing? You have missed more than half of my class and you could hurt someone running through the hallways like a maniac," the teacher lectured, clearly not pleased.
"Sorry Miss, I need," he stopped to take a breath," to talk to Heero, Wufei, Quatre, and Trowa," he finished.
The teacher looked hesitant.
"Fine, make it fast."
Once they were all in the hall, he spoke.
"Ami's gonna be ambushed, we have to save her," he said.
"The onna," Wufei said, taking a pause," is not weak. She can defend herself against magic."
They blinked at Wufei. He smirked.
"Stop staring," he spoke calmly.
"Yes, but can she defend herself from a bunch of blood thristy maniacs and a planned ambush at the same time!"
They looked at each other.
"Come on, we can at least do something," he said.
They nodded and ran off. Heero thought as he ran.
Ami had somehow affected all of them in her stay in this demension. That was the first time Wufei had ever reffered to a woman as not being weak.
Why did his heart seem to skip a beat when he saw her?
They turned around the corner.
"There," Duo said, pointing to the darkened office.
"The office? But...Relena is in charge today," Trowa said, his voice slowly fading out in understanding.
They approached the office.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not wanting to hurt Relena, Mercury took off down the hallway. The office was practicly in different demensions. As soon as you stepped through the door, it was a different demension and it was no longer an office, but a hallway and several large rooms.
She ran by double doors thrown open. She took a few steps back and peeked in. Nothing.
She kept walking. Relena would not give up easily and jumped her. Mercury stepped to the side. She hit Relena in a certain spot on the neck, making her unconsious. She dragged Relena, to lean her up against the nearest wall and continued.
A flash of light blinded her momentarilly. She felt a sharp pain in her back and fell to the floor. She placed her hand on her back and brought it to her face. Dark crimson stained her white glove.
"Over here scout," a voice said. 2 youma stood behind her. She sighed.
Standing up, she clicked on her visor. They were both weaker youma, just caught her off guard. But she wasn't ready to waste too much power on destroying them. She had a feeling that there were lots more where they came from.
"Mercury Ice Bubbles Freeze," she said, using one of her weaker attacks.
One of them was destroyed, but it seemed too easy.
She realized that it re-appeared next to the first. They smirked, and both started their attacks at her. She tried to dodge, but it was two against one and she wasn't willing to use very powerful attacks.
"Mercury Bubbles, BLAST!"
They area was covered in a mist.
"Where is she," one of them snarled.
"Right here," she said, appearing behind him.
The youma both turned around in confused circles. "Here, Here," she said, appearing in front of the second. It got aggrivated and made a large attack.
"No, here," she told the other one. He also formed an attack. She stood at just the right spot.
They both let loose their attacks, not knowing that they were facing each other. A blinding flash was seen followed by two screams of rage. The mist started to dissapear, and she continued down the hallway.
She reached the end of the long hallway, which led to a much larger room.
She stepped in, and right away, an arrow hit her in her side. It wasn't too deep, but deep enough to draw blood. She looked shocked. Pulling the arrow out, she looked around.
One torch on the wall came on. Soon, the whole room was lit, every torch coming on one after the other after the other.
Tavia, Kin, and a group of youma stood in front of her. At least 15 of them. On the side of the room there were two more youma holding bows and arrows.
"Your looking a little aggrivated Mercury," Kin observed with a smirk.
She glared.
"Alright, here is your challenge. Make it out of here-alive," Tavia said with a laugh. Mercury's visor started picking up a lot of readings.
Tavia and Kin dissapeared, still supervising. All charged at her at once.
The ones on the side started firing arrow after arrow. As she ran from the other youma, some missed and some hit. She froze, pulling out the arrows in her flesh, now deeper than they were at first.
The other youma all lashed out at her. She found herself on the floor in less than a minute. There were attacks flying at her from every direction. She was able to kick the closest one away into another 2. This gave her the chance to jump away from the group and form an attack.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!"
It hit 5 of them, destroying them. More arrows flew in her direction, and a few more hit her in her side.
The youma seemed to be having a dispute about who would destroy her. This gave her a chance to attack again.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody," she cried.
Her aim was off because of her injuries, and only two were destroyed. So there were 8 more youma to go, not counting the arrow shooting ones.
Seeing that they had given her a chance to escape, the youma all attacked at once. One of them specialized in knife throwing, another in whips with thorns and one that specialized in fire attacks.
So she had arrows, and knives coming at her. She dropped to the floor and rolled, everything missing her by an inch and hitting the floor. Fire surrounded the area and she looked around for a way out. Something latched onto her neck. The whip. She grasped it so she didn't choke and was dragged through the flames toward the youma.
She let out a scream, feeling her skin burn and her air supply being cut off. More arrows flew towards her, and one of them hit her side, and was brutally knocked off as she was being dragged.
She came to face the ugly youma, still trying to keep the rope from breaking her neck.
A shot was heard. She blinked. The whip holding he broke. Someone had fired a bullet at the rope. Someone with precise aim.
She sucked in air. Turning around, the gundam pilots stood at the doorway. Quatre had his gun out. They charged inside, attacking any way they could. Wufei fought the knife throwing youma with his Katana. It was no challenge for him.
Trowa and Duo took care of the youma firing arrows with their guns. Bullets may not have effected Tavia, but they certainly hurt the youma.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody," Ami distinguished all the fire sop that the g-boys would have safe passage.
The largest youma looked angry. She formed a very large attack in her hands aimed specifically at Ami. Heero saw, and Ami didn't. He grabbed her and rolled to the side just in time.
She looked shocked. The 6 ran for the door. They just made it out, and the place collapsed, leaving them standing in the hallway of the school, Relena propped up next to the office.
Mercury looked around. Pluto appeared before her. Relief was evident on her face.
Pluto looked tired. She slumped slightly. Mercury ran to her.
"Did they hurt you while you were there," she asked.
Pluto shook her head.
"No, but they read much of my memory. They know too much. I have to go back to the time gates, and then to Tokyo. There master let me go because he has an honor code and because he wanted me to warn the scouts that war will be in Tokyo in 2 weeks, and he wants their best battle," Pluto responded.
"But that would mean that he plans to have found the jewel by then," Mercury said.
"Yes, it does. That's why I need you to stay here and beat him to it," Pluto said.
"Who is the enemy," Mercury asked.
"That I cannot reveal. Please be careful Mercury, I have to go. Thankyou," Pluto said.
She hugged Mercury then stood back. A time gate opened behind her.
She sent a mysterious smile towards Trowa, who returned a confused one.
Then dissapered. Everything went back to normal, and Mercury realized that Pluto had frozen time when she had appeared. Everything went back to normal.
Everyone was in the auditorium at an assembly given by a famous scientist, and Ami was sure that the whole school was deserted besides the auditorium. They had been waiting months for this speech and no one was going to miss out.
So, Ami detransformed, because the audiorium was in the next building over.
Automatically, she felt the power leave her and whatever inhumane force that had kept her standing dissapeared. She sank to the floor on her knees, breathing hard. All the injuries that had seemed like nothing started to show. The large scrap on her forehead started to leak blood.
Anywhere she had been hit by youma attacks or arrows started to bleed. Quatre crouched down.
"Miss Ami, we have to get you to a hospital," Quatre said crouching next to her.
"No."
They looked shocked at her answer.
"But Ami, your gonna bleed to death this way," Duo reasoned.
"I have good healing abilities. besides, I'll never be able to explain these injuries," Ami said.
"Yes you will, car accident," Duo said.
"2nd and 3rd degree burns, stab wounds, and wounds I'm sure a doctor could tell were from arrows. No, I think I'll just head to my room," she said, struggling to get up. A hand reached down and Ami grabbed it and stood up. The hand belonged to Heero. He had a strange look on his normally cool face.
"I think you should go to the hospital," he said quietly. She shook her head stubbornly.
"Thankyou all for your help, I wouldn't have survived with out you there. Relena is propped up against that wall over there. She had attacked me. I hope she's not hurt. She was under the enemies control," Ami nodded her head towards Relena. Relena suddenly rolled over. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. Ignoring everyone in the room, her eyes focused on Heero.
"Oh, Heero, my Hero! You saved me from those evil people! Let me reward you with a kiss!"
Relena was clearly only half awake and halucinating. No one took any chances. The Gundam boys ran out. Heero grabbed Ami quickly and the room was empty in less than 30 seconds. When Relena was finally fully awake, she looked down right confused.
They helped Ami to her dorm. Quatre was still upset she wouldn't go to the hospital and gave her a medical kit he had. Ami thanked him.
After everyone had left, Heero lingered behind.
"Ami, Relena has been following me around forever. I don't feel the same way about her that she does about me. I can't seem to get rid of her. Relena doesn't realize that any other guy in the school would love to go out with her. How can I make her see eye to eye," he asked.
"I noticed this, but it doesn't seem like you really ever sat down and explained things to her. Why is that," she asked.
"Well," he seemed hesitant, but continued.
"Relena was one of the few who ever showed interest in me. All the other girls thought I was heartless. I never really knew what Relena felt for me, because I myself had never felt it. Now, I think I am starting to understand," he said.
She laughed.
"So you have your eyes on another girl, huh? Is it Tamera, I have seen the way, you look at her," Ami joked.
"Well, no, no it's not. It's someone else, and I'm not sure if what i'm feeling is the real thing," he said.
"Well, first you have to talk to Relena," she answered. Heero let his monotone waver for a moment and offered a rare smile.
"Maybe I will," he said, walking off.
'What just happened? Was the perfect soldier talking to me like a human being?'
"Maybe I was hallucinating," she said to herself as she closed the door and started to tend to her injuries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, what did you think? No flames please!
anon: Yes, I know. thanks for the review.
Lady Light: Yes, it is difficult to imagine Ami with a bad grade. Looks around nervously I don't think the world is coming to an end...yet. Thanks for the review!
baby-bunnygurl: Thankyou, thankyou very much. Don't worry, I won't flame you. I'm writing two stories after this one, and I promice one of them will be a quatre/ami pairing!
