A Cry for Freedom

chapter 2- Thinking back

A young man in his early 20's stared blankly out of the window. The peaceful landscape somehow reminded him of his long lost sister. "*sigh* 4 long years Rena...it seems like such a long time...." he reached behind his neck and slowly rubbed it until it cracked. "I wish you would have come with me......I thought you would." he said again. His peaceful and yet cold eyes looked up at the sky. At the birds. "You always did love to fly...."

"Ahem" said an Italian woman as she knocked on the door. "Am I disturbing you Zechs?" She asked as she gracefully walked into the room.

"No...not at all... i was just thinking about my sister... that's all." he said as he started to walk towards the short haired woman.

"You never did tell me what happened that day.....are you up to it??" she surely asked with her eyebrow raised showing her curiosity.

He sighed and put his hand out. Gesturing for her to sit down. "Well...Its a long story...." he said as he sat down.

"Im up to a good story once in a while.....enlighten me." she said as she rested her head on one hand.

"Well...as you know......my sister and I were apart of the rebellion."

*Flashback*

"Man....I have to go out again....." he said as he slowly walked toward his mobile suit.

"Its all apart of the plan....you know what you must do." said an old man as he walked toward the young Zechs. The man was in surprisingly good health considering he smoked many cigars.

"Well...why do i have to do it all the time....Relly is the one who likes to fly all the time...she doesn't care what for either."

"She will one day follow in your footsteps...but for now...you must do what you are told...for the good of our cause." said the man with his husky old voice.

"....Fine...." said Zechs as he got into the cockpit of the mobile suit. He hurriedly turned the giant on and took off.

An hour later:

"Awe...shit!!!!!" said Zechs as he was surrounded by strange mobile suits. They all surrounded him and caught him captive. Once on the ground. Zechs jumped out of his gundam with a gun in hand. He slowly moved around the dark forest because he knew someone was close behind him. He heard leaves ruffling to the right... then the left... then suddenly.

*whoosh* crack* thump*

Someone ran up behind him kicked the gun out of his hand knocked him on the head and pushed him on the ground.

"This bitch was one fast one I'll tell ya' that!" Said a boy with a long chestnut braid falling behind him.

"Duo! You shouldn't talk like that...its...a bad habit....wrong...and very distasteful." said a Blonde with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Sorry Quat. but i just cant help it.. hahhahha" said Duo with his hand scratching his head.

"Hehe...its ok man." said Quatre as he started having fits of laughter.

"Hey...whats so funny??? hehhe...hahha...HAHHAHHA!!!" Started duo as he saw Quatre's expression. "YOU LOOK LIKE A SQUIRREL !!!!!" he then doubled over and laughed so hard that he cried. The other boys just looked at them like they were nuts.

"Baka" Heero whispered under his breath.

"*snort* crazy, stupid, disrespectful baka." said Wufei with his arms crossed tightly over his chest. The silent one; Trowa, just stayed quiet and started to work on his mobile suit.

A few hours later:

"argh...moaned Zechs as he woke up from his slumber.'

"Hey...look who just awoke...why its sleeping Beauty." said Duo as he held a stick to his mouth and talked into it.

"What do you want....who are you?" asked Zechs as he stood up with his hand over his head in pain.

"I think we should be asking the questions." said Heero with his famous death glare. Zechs just shot one of his own right back.

"Yah "We" should be asking the questions...so who are "You" and what do "You" want?" asked Duo as he put his finger in the blondes face.

"I am Zechs Marquise..." he said

"Good good...now...where are you from??" asked duo as he sat down. Zechs wouldn't answer.

"Ohhh....lookey! It looks like we have a loyal person on our hands...." said Duo with a huge smile.

"I can fix that." said Heero as he hit the older man across the face. "Where are you from." he demanded.

"Where I am from...has no name." he said as he looked straight ahead.

"Then....who sent you." asked Trowa. Zechs wouldn't answer again so he nodded to Heero who hit him again. And again....And again.

"*cough*....The masters....they sent me...they...are the cause. They....bring the cause...they started the cause."

"Now...why would you wanna go join something like that??" asked Quatre as he kneeled down facing the older man.

"It wasn't my choice...our parents...had certain debts. that me and my sister have to pay."

"Oh....so you have a sister....Is she hot??" asked Duo playfully. In the meantime The others were preaparing there gundams so they could go off and fight again. Duo kept bugging Zechs and saying how rong joining with the "masters" is and how he should join the Resistance. \

After many hours of talking...

"ENOUGH!!!!! DON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP??!!??" screamed Zechs in Duo's face.

"Awe...that just wouldn't be natural...so...you wanna join up with us in order to.." he did a little super hero pose "fight crime?"

"*sigh*...i hope i wont regret this...but....Fine...I'll join." he said as he stood up. "But...under one condition." he said

"Name it" said Duo.

"Let me contact my sister....try to get her to come with me...we've been together forever...its kinda hard to separate now." he said.

"NO! You cant...you might tell her what happened...or try to give away useful information...we cant have that." said Heero as he ran over to them

"Aww...come on buddy...he just wants to talk to his sister....be a pal....I'll be there watching...along with Quat and Trowa....nothing that bad can happen with us there." said Duo

"Hn"

"Zechs! Zechs are you there? Zechs....Zechs...do you read me? Respond over." Said a voice over the com link.

"I guess its to late now for arguments..." said Duo with a smirk. Zechs then got up.

"Well...?? Can i talk to her or not??" he asked.

"Zechs! I'll kill you if you don't respond to me! Now speak up Damn it!" said the voice agian.

"Meow...feisty..." said Duo. Zechs went over to the com link.

"Yah...I'm here..."

"Oh...god! How did your mission go?" she asked

"That's what I want to talk to you about....alone..." said Zechs. Looking at the people behind Relena

"It's ok...I'll talk to him..." and everybody left. "What's wrong?"

"Relena...It didn't go as planned..."

"Why what happened?

"Nothing...Relena...listen to me..." Duo then popped up behind Zechs with Quatre under his arm and Trowa behind him. "I...joined the Resistance"

Relena's eyes darkened "What?" she said in a cold voice

"Relena...listen to them...there doing the right thing." he said

"The right thing?" said Relena with a slight laugh. "The right thing is paying off our parent's debts. And helping the only family you have!" said Relena

"You can Relena...just listen to me!" he stated

"No! You listen! I won't tell them you joined the Resistance but you are no longer my brother....over and out." The com link went dead.

"Damn...your sister is hot!! Man...Heero bud...you would really hit it off with her." he then looked at Heero's death glair and backed off. He turned to Zechs and said "aw...man I'm sorry...tough break." he said.

*End Flashback*

"And...that's it.." said Zechs with a sigh.

"Wow...so...you and Relena were never really apart...then you joined the Resistance and haven't seen her for 4 years...." said Noin as she looked down at the table. She then got up and walked over behind Zechs and put her arms around him..." Well..." she started. "You still have me... and the gang." she said as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek and left the room. Zechs rubbed the spot where she kissed him and looked back out the window.

"Yah....you and the gang." he said as he walked over to the window and closed the blinds. He turned around and walked to the door. Stopping once to look at the place where he was standing just 10 minutes ago thinking about his sister. Standing in the bright sun. He took one hand closed the lights off, and shut the door behind him as he left. The once bright room was now dark.

Consumed by darkness......
