A/n: I finally am typing/posting my favorite chappie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gods, I am so happy. I need 36 reviews before I post the epilogue. If I don't get them by fri at the absolute latest, no epilogue, with a horrible cliffhanger, until the end of June. So I suggest when your done reading, you click that little button at the end of the chappie and review.

Noin stared at the blue switch on her control panel. With a flip of that switch, her ultimate revenge would begin. She could revenge not only herself, but the hundreds of innocent people who had died because of the atrocities so shamelessly committed by a group of insensitive jack asses. She flipped the switch and moved on, invisible to both man and machine.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She was coming for him, he knew it. As he watched the banks of screens alternately flash pictures of the plain desert landscape, he knew she was out there somewhere. Where, he didn't know. But he knew it. He knew and his blood ran cold at the thought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

She slipped to the ground and gave her gundam a last look. With the push of a button on a small, silver remote, the gundam was sent soaring into the sky to avoid all ground combat. Shadowcat was more advanced then the other gundams and could not be risked carelessly. The woman stopped pondering and headed around the corner of the building, towards an entrance that anyone rarely bothered to guard. Noin, slipped out of the desert into the cool, dark air. Her gray-black clothing was identical in shade to the shadows lurking in the corners and along the walls. She disappeared down the hallway, as silently as a cat.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She was in the building. He knew it. There was no way to stop her, no trap that could hold her. Lt. Colonel Peacecraft was even more dangerous as herself than a fictional outlaw. And that was enough o strike terror into the hearts of anyone who'd crossed her path. He rubbed his fingers over the shiny, new skin which forever be scarred. A souvenir, of sorts, of the last knife fight he'd ever fight.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Noin slipped a small knife out of its sheath on the small of her back. She palmed the handle of the silver blade, lacquered black. Black leather was wrapped around a handle in the shape of a serpent. All of her knifes bore this same resemblance. Noin slipped around the corner and tucked herself into a niche. After ascertaining that no one was in the hallway, she slid out of her niche and sulked down the hallway. The stairwell at the end of the hallway had a body laying in the doorway. The dead body of a Blade. Over the body stood Wufei, who nodded and slipped into the shadows.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She was getting closer. And he knew it, knew that with every breath he exhaled, his moment of death was approaching that much sooner. He'd tried to kill her once. He was the one who'd sent orders to have her poisoned. To bad his damned lackey hadn't done the job right. If he couldn't take her down when she was his, there was no way he could take her down now. He prayed that something, someone, would stop her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Noin stopped and replaced the longer blade, replacing it with a pair of throwing knifes from wrist sheaths. She paused at the sounds in the next hallway. One familiar, a soldier silently creeping. The other, familiar as well, but in a different way, and the sound of a lazy patrol. A third set of sounds joined the group, as the relief patrol arrived. Noin stepped around the corner and sent five inches of steel into the throat of the Blade before he could even recognize her presence. He dropped to the ground, on top of a second body. Duo looked at Noin with a kind of wonder, and sorrow, in his eyes, before he resumed his previous position.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A soldier walked in and handed him a knife. The five inches of steel were cool in his hand, having been washed of all remnants of blood. It had been found in the throat of a soldier, a patrolman. No one else knew what was happening. The bodies of the men who had been killed had carefully been removed by his own men, men sworn to utter secrecy. In a vain attempt at survival, he posted five of his most elite men outside his door. Yet he knew they could not do anything.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*

Noin starred down at the five bodies on the ground. She had taken down two of them. Zechs had taken down the other three. She walked over to the man she loved and gently kissed him, a kiss of pure love and emotion. She backed up slightly to look the love of her life in the eyes. Brilliant purple eyes met clear blue ones, silently begging permission to do what was necessary. The blue eyes looked away, and the head nodded in agreement.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Noin slipped into room, laughing to herself when she noticed he hadn't even tried to flee. She slipped up behind him and placed nine inches of razor sharp, glinting shadow against his throat. He panicked, then belatedly tried to hide his instinctive reaction.

"I guess even Death himself is afraid to die."

A/n: And so we have the end of the chappies. Now, a really odd epilogue. Possibly two of them. But I'll post both at once, if theirs two. So, click that little button and type something for more!
