The Dream of a Lost Soul, Part 4
This prologue is still dedicated to Ani.

Duo turns off the TV as Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei come in. "No change except her dream is getting worse. The needle is slowly picking up speed." He points to the brain wave monitor.
"I'm staying in here incase she starts thrashing again." Wufei takes one of the five seats the nurse had brought into the room.
The others nod in agreement and take seats.
Terry's breathing has slightly increased. Her heart rate has also slightly increased.
~~~~
It is ten minutes before 20:00. Terry and Ani are sitting on Terry's bed. (If you've noticed, I call Heero "Ani." This is because it is Terry's dream. It is being told from 3rd person, but it is still her dream.)
*Will you come and see me?* They had been talking about a battle plan and they both knew Terry would have to be hospitalized.
*If I can. Dekim might have me brainwashed.* He concentrates his vision on his folded hands. He is leaning on his thighs by using his elbows. His voice has some sorrow when he next speaks. *I don't want to do this.*
Terry reaches over wrapping her arms around him. *I know but it is the only way if I am to help you during the mission.* She really wasn't looking forward to being hospitalized. *Dekim will want our conversation. I'll be pleading with you. Please be strong* She hugs him.
Ani wraps his arms around her. *I will little sister.* He hugs her tightly.
There is a noise in the hallway and they quickly let go of each other.
A man of hefty build named Kerinchi Toru opened the door with an evil smile on his face. "Time to go, brats." Kerinchi carried out ALL the punishments. He was a soldier from earlier wars. Kerinchi had hoped to pilot Wing Gundam and he seriously disliked Terry and Ani for the fact they had taken that chance away from him. Kerinchi Toru was a cruel man.
Terry and Ani, faces dangerously emotionless, stand and glance coldly at Kerinchi as they pass him.
Kerinchi's features never changed. The same evil smile stayed in place as he followed them to the Mobile Suit Battle Simulator (MSBS).
~~~~
They all glance up from what they were doing as the brain wave monitor's needle started making long quick strokes.
"That's not good." Duo's voice is full of worry.
Terry's eyes are moving under her eye lids and her facial expression has changed to one of stone. Her fists are tightly clenched.
"Very not good." Duo says while rushing out to go get the nurse.
~~~~
Ani and Terry walk into the MSBS area. The actual fighting area is fairly large. Two much smaller versions of mobile suits are prepared and ready to go. Kerinchi follows behind them.
Terry glances at the familiar practice suits. One had the markings '01' and the other '02'. They were definitely well used. They had multiple dings and dents.
Dr. J walks into the area from a side door. Terry and Ani focus their attention on him. "I want a good fight you two. In a small number of months Operation Meteor will commence and you both need to be in top condition." Dr. J had told them both that this will appear to be an MS battle simulation and that he would give an obvious signal to Ani. Ani would then begin to "eliminate" Terry. Terry is to act oblivious to the fact she knows what Ani is doing.
"Suit up." Dr. J orders. He moves off to the observation room. Ani and Terry walk over to their MS and hop in. They do their checks and raise the right arm of each suit in signal that they are ready to go. (This part will be done as if the mobile suit(s) or MS is part of Ani or Terry. If I let my mind have its way you would be reading a RP type battle that explains the pedals, joysticks, switches, ect. that run the MS. That would make it VERY long. ;)
^Commence simulation.^ comes over their comm. links.
Ani and Terry are a good 200 ft or so away from each other. Suddenly they each pull out a Beam Saber, Terry's is pink and Ani's is green, while their thrusters start up and begin propelling them towards each other. They come together in a bright clash of electrical sparks as their sabers apply pressure to each other.
Ani brings the saber from the right creating a sideways slashing motion that sends Terry backwards. Her thrusters are activated to a higher output as she moves her feet to keep in a standing position while moving backwards.
Ani comes at her again. He brings his saber from above.
Terry pulls up her saber to block his. ^Nice try.^ She calls out playfully.
^Not nice enough.^ Ani answers as he puts more pressure onto his saber. Terry's starts to spark dangerously. She is doing the best that she can to keep his saber from crashing through hers at the wrong time. If her saber failed her now, she would be dead.
^Aren't you getting a little serious here?^ she calls out to him while increasing the power to her saber. She activates her thrusters and pushes him back a few steps.
There is nothing but a haunting silence from Ani.
^01.^ Dr. J snaps out over the comm. link.
^Roger that.^ Ani answers in response. His voice is completely emotionless. He puts his saber to full power. After a few large sparks his saber passes through Terry's and takes off her left arm only missing the body due to Terry having a slight warning from Dr. J giving the signal to Ani.
^What the hell are you thinking?!^ Terry's voice rings with anger and confusion as she backs away from Ani, her MS arm laying on the ground sparking.
Ani's response is silence. He flies at her again as she quickly pulls her saber up to block while brining it to full power. ^You're obsolete.^ His voice is cold and sharp like a dagger.
Terry knows he doesn't mean it but it pierces her heart just the same. ^What do you mean?^ She brings her right leg up and kicks Ani's MS away from her. She gets silence as he makes his MS keep balance. ^ANSWER ME!^
Ani flies at her again and with every syllable he brings his saber into an aggressive hit. ^You are obsolete!^
Her cockpit starts to spark as she gets knocked around. Ani had come at her so quickly she couldn't block very well. The shock waves from the hits move through out the cockpit. Her ears have started bleeding and things start to explode. ^ANI!^
^I have no sister!^ He calls out coldly as he takes off the head of Terry's MS followed by him giving her a ruff kick that sends her MS into the wall.
Most of her equipment has exploded and shards have flown around. She sits covered in blood from all the cuts she has acquired from the flying fragments. She is breathing heavily as she tries to keep consciousness so she can control her heart and breathing rate. There is a shock as Ani kicks her MS.
^Eliminated, sir.^ Ani says over the comm. link. He opens his hatch and jumps the little distance to the ground.
^Clean it up.^ Dr. J says over the intercom.
A medical crew enter with a body bag held between the four of them. One of them hands Ani a crowbar and indicates the cockpit of Terry's MS. The five of them walk over to the cockpit. The medical crew members set the body bag down as Ani climes onto the area near the hatch.
He begins to pry it open with the crowbar. After levering the hatch up enough he puts his hands on the edge and lifts. He looks down as his hands almost lose their grip from a wet substance only to find the substance is blood. He controls his urge to hurriedly rip the hatch off and just lifts it normally open.
Ani looks in and resists snatching Terry out. She is in a heap. Her blood is everywhere. Her left arm is broken in two places with the bone sticking out of the flesh. Her legs are in the same shape as her left arm. He reaches for her neck and feels a faint pulse. At his touch her eyes open slightly as she looks at him. He barely even saw they were open. She coughs as blood starts to fill her lungs and throat. Her eyes close as she returns to her role of being dead.
Ani backs out and jumps away from her MS. His heart is being torn to pieces. He had done that to his own sister. He just has to look at the medical crew as he walks away and they move to get her out.
One of them opens the body bag as the other three pull her up and out of the cockpit. A 47 year old woman with light brown hair checks for a pulse on Terry's wrist and feels none. She has a look of sadness as she helps bring Terry down and place her into the body bag.
Ani moves off to the side room Dr. J is in. As he passes Kerinchi on the way he notices the pleased smirk he had on his face as he watches Terry get put into the body bag.
"Real shame, that waste of perfectly good female flesh." Kerinchi speaks after Ani is a few feet past him. His smirk is still in place as he watches the body bag being zipped up.
Ani stops in his tracks. His hands clench into tight fists. "I don't notice such weak minded desires." Ani speaks with a tone that is also so emotionless it would freeze fire. He continues walking as small spots drip from his hands, his blood and his sister's, as he digs his finger nails into his palms.
Kerinchi's eyes glow with pure evil mirth as he looks from the body bag to the withdrawing Ani. "You can hold your emotions in check, I'll give you that you little bastard." His voice is low as he speaks to himself. His smirk turns into an evil grin. He walks over to where the body bag lays on the ground. "I want this trash disposed of." He gives the bag a hard kick where Terry's left rib cage is located and is rewarded with a sick cracking sound as ribs break.
Terry resists the urge to scream. She feels the bag being lifted off the ground and waits until a small number of steps have been taken before she starts regular breathing again. She thought she was dizzy before with the little oxygen she was allowing her brain to have. As soon as the normal amount of oxygen reached her brain her whole world began to spin rapidly. She shuts her eyes tightly as the inside of the body bag swirls around.
Then a muffled yet familiar voice can be heard through the thick plastic of the black body bag. "Move it! Get her on the stretcher!" Terry feels as the bag is lifted onto a hard surface. There is a scratching noise as the zipper is grabbed followed by a bright light as it is pulled down. Terry winces as the brightness mixes with her world that is still slowly spinning. "He fucked you up royal but I think the thing that is the most dangerous is that kick to your ribs Kerinchi gave you." The 47 year old woman, Sara, says with her American Southern accent as she examines Terry.
"Sara?" Terry chokes out through her bruised and blood filled throat.
"That's me. Now be quiet and concentrate on breathing, please." Sara and one other of the medical team wheel the stretcher down multiple halls. They had carried her out of the MSBS area and into the hallway where the stretcher had been waiting. "And keep yer heart going! I was sure you was dead until I felt the weight of the bag shift when you started breathing proper."
"Don't worry. I don't like this dizzy feeling." Terry has a slight smile on her face.
"You amaze me. I'm positive you're in some serious pain and yet you're smiling."
Terry had actually been handling the pain quite fine until Kerinchi had kicked her. It was sudden and unprepared for. "I don't feel it any more."
"Like I said, you amaze me. Now shut yer trap!" Sara pins Terry with a glare while she is slightly grinning. Terry smiles as she turns her attention to the ceiling as it passes.
The stretcher is steered into an elevator and they ride it to ground level. They take her out of the elevator and into a large factory where a waiting ambulance is parked. The paramedics step out and help get Terry into the ambulance. They gently lift her up as Sara pulls the body bag out from under her. After, they start hooking her up to their monitors and injecting IVs that have pain killers added to them.
"Now you two take good care of her, ya hear?" Sara says to the two paramedics.
"Of course, Ms. Sara." One of them says, obviously accustomed to Sara, as he walks around to the drivers side. He hops in and starts up the ambulance. The second one is in the back attending to Terry.
"Now you live so 01 can come see yer." Sara speaks sternly to Terry. Terry grins and nods. "Good. I might stop by later. Buh bye." She shuts the doors and bangs her hands twice on them signaling that the driver can go. The ambulance goes into gear and drives off.
Terry can no longer stay conscious. "Mind if I pass out?" She has a smile on her face as she asks the paramedic. Her voice is slightly muffled due to the breathing mask he had put on her.
The paramedic smiles and shakes his head back and forth. "You're a weird one. If you do, it just means we save on the gas bill."
Terry has a small smile on her face as she lets out a sigh. Her face soon goes blank when she slips into unconsciousness.
~~~~
Duo and the nurse come back in to find Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre standing right up close to the bed. Wufei had Terry's left arm, Trowa had her feet, and Quatre had her right arm. Terry had not started thrashing but her limbs were moving.
"Now what?" Duo asks as he comes over to stand next to Trowa taking Terry's right leg.
"She's piloting a mobile suit. You can tell by the way she is moving her hands and feet." Wufei answers. Terry's feet and hands are moving as if they were operating the joysticks and the pedals of the suit. "Her fingers are even operating the buttons on the joysticks." Wufei points to her hands and feet as he speaks but quickly puts his hand full force on her arm as she tries to lift it.
"What do you mean?!" Terry's voice is barely audible through her air mask but they pick it up. Duo presses down as her right foot moves as if operating a pedal.
"We might actually find out some dark things from her past." Trowa speaks lightly. "Whatever she says is not to leave this room." The others nod in agreement. The nurse doesn't bother due to the fact they are to keep everything confidential anyway because the patient is a Preventer.
Her voice picks up volume. "Answer me!" There is a slight pause as nothing happens. Suddenly her arms and legs move in actions the four young men recognize as orders for a mobile suit to block. "ANI!" She actually screams this one. Her voice is horse and muffled due to her breathing mask. There is a scar under her right eye that is slightly visible. She winces as if the cut that made the scar was just made.
Wufei quickly glances at Trowa while holding down Terry's arm. Quatre's face is a mask of horror as his mind puts Terry's three out bursts together. Duo is left to wonder as the nurse went to get the doctor. She returned a few minutes later with him.
Terry's arms and legs suddenly try to shoot into a position that would block fragments from the body. They nearly lose their hold on her. There was resistance for about 2 seconds and then she went limp. Her heart and breathing rate quickly drop, but her brain monitor is still sending signals meaning that she hasn't died or stopped dreaming.
Wufei recognizes it. "She isn't dead. She must have slipped into a dead state in her dream." He places his index and middle finger of his right hand on her neck. He feels a faint pulse and decides to check her wrist. No pulse. "She's controlling her blood flow!" There is a slight tone of surprise as he speaks.
"The doctor moves to the side of the bed and checks. "He is right." He sighs and slightly backs away. "She had some very good trainers. I doubt she picked up that trick on her own." He smiles slightly. "You managed to keep her from causing her wounds to open again. Thank you."
The young men were about to nod until her face suddenly contorts to one of extreme pain as air rushes out of her lungs through gritted teeth.
"Hm." The doctor moves over to her left side. He examines her rib cage by applying pressure to feel the bone. "Just as I thought. Her ribs were broken before and not nicely by the scars on her bones. Now, the scars I noticed on her back are a completely different matter. They are older, some more than others, and made by the same tool which was most likely a whip of some kind." He steps back from the bed.
Quatre looks over at Trowa and Wufei. "Do you think it was him or was she calling out for help?"
"It could very well be both." Trowa answers.
"I have my own reasons for my opinion. She wasn't calling out for help." Wufei speaks as he looks down at Terry's face.
"What are you guys talking about?!" Due is confused out of his mind right about now.
"Sorry, Duo, but it is not our place to tell you if you don't already know." Quatre answers.
"Just peachy."
Quatre pats Duo on the shoulder. "I can tell you that either someone very close to her attacked her or she was calling out for help from that person." Quatre now looks at Terry.
Terry starts to breath normally as her eyes tightly close. She issues a light moan as her right hand twitches. It slowly opens and closes.
They watch her hoping that she is waking.
She moves the other hand the same way. Then her right arm slightly moves. She slowly moves it up to the scar on her right cheek. Her eyes are still closed as she mumbles to herself, "He didn't go overboard but he could have been a little nicer." Her eyes open and she immediately shuts them. "Kuso! Turn the lights off!" (kuso = shit)
Trowa and Quatre smile as Duo laughs a little. Wufei has a smile on his face as he turns the lights to a dim setting.
"Welcome to the world of the living!" Duo grins as Terry slightly opens her eyes as they adjust to the dim light.
"Ha ha ha. What the fuck happened? I feel like I was run over by a truck."
Trowa answers her. "You shot the assassin and saved Relena. Remember now?"
"Yeah. That bitch live or die?" Terry wasn't in a good mood. She doesn't usually curse this much.
"The assassin is dead." Trowa crouches so he is at eye level with Terry. "That was a good shot by the way."
"She is about to answer when a thought hits her. "Did I say anything?" The guys look at each other. Trowa looks back at her and nods. "What did I say?"
Wufei answers first. "You said 'what do you mean', 'answer me', and 'Ani'. He did it didn't he?"
Terry sighs as she closes her eyes. "Yes, he did."
"Why?" Quatre asks. "I can't see him doing that."
A single tear runs from her closed eyes. "To save me. Please leave. I don't want company right now." Her voice is shaky.
Trowa looks at Wufei and he nods. "Let's leave her." Trowa says as he stands back to his full height. Quatre, Duo, and Wufei walk before him as they follow the doctor and nurse out. He stops to glance back at Terry only to find she is actually crying with her right hand on her face. Her body is shaking from her sobs. He turns and leaves with this sight permanently in his memory.

ME: Now you have witnessed the sorrow filled past of Heero and Terry. I might have another few parts, but even if I don't, I can leave this one as the end. I am also suffering from two writers blocks. One for this and the other for the actual ficy. - -
NEKO-YASHA: I know that feeling. - -
ME: Now there is something that bugs me.
NEKO: What?
ME: I only have two reviews. - - If you read my fic, PLEASE REVIEW!!! That is what R&R means ppls! ~ ~
NEKO: You'll get more. I know you review other authors stories enough. People will see your name and come to check it out.
ME: Me hope so. u.u; It also doesn't help that my Pen name is my OC either. ;
ME: YOU did a Gundam Wing/vampire crossover. That is a BIG factor when it comes to readers OR reviewers. ~ ~
NEKO: Uh heehee ^^; Good point.

"That's not good." Duo's voice is full of worry.
Terry's eyes are moving under her eye lids and her facial expression has changed to one of stone. Her fists are tightly clenched.
"Very not good." Duo says while rushing out to go get the nurse.

Ani and Terry walk into the MSBS area. The actual fighting area is fairly large. Two much smaller versions of mobile suits are prepared and ready to go. Kerinchi follows behind them.

"He fucked you up royal but I think the thing that is the most dangerous is that kick to your ribs Kerinchi gave you." The 47 year old woman, Sara, says with her American Southern accent as she examines Terry.
"Sara?" Terry chokes out through her bruised and blood filled throat.

"Like I said, you amaze me. Now shut yer trap!" Sara pins Terry with a glare while she is slightly grinning. Terry smiles as she turns her attention to the ceiling as it passes.
The stretcher is steered into an elevator and they ride it to ground level. They take her out of the elevator and into a large factory where a waiting ambulance is parked. The paramedics step out and help get Terry into the ambulance. They gently lift her up as Sara pulls the body bag out from under her. After, they start hooking her up to their monitors and injecting IVs that have pain killers added to them.
"Now you two take good care of her, ya hear?" Sara says to the two paramedics.
"Of course, Ms. Sara." One of them says, obviously accustomed to Sara, as he walks around to the drivers side. He hops in and starts up the ambulance. The second one is in the back attending to Terry.
"Now you live so 01 can come see yer." Sara speaks sternly to Terry. Terry grins and nods. "Good. I might stop by later. Buh bye." She shuts the doors and bangs her hands twice on them signaling that the driver can go. The ambulance goes into gear and drives off.
Terry can no longer stay conscious. "Mind if I pass out?" She has a smile on her face as she asks the paramedic. Her voice is slightly muffled due to the breathing mask he had put on her.
The paramedic smiles and shakes his head back and forth. "You're a weird one. If you do, it just means we save on the gas bill."
Terry has a small smile on her face as she lets out a sigh. Her face soon goes blank when she slips into unconsciousness.

Duo and the nurse come back in to find Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre standing right up close to the bed. Wufei had Terry's left arm, Trowa had her feet, and Quatre had her right arm. Terry had not started thrashing but her limbs were moving.
"Now what?" Duo asks as he comes over to stand next to Trowa taking Terry's right leg.
"She's piloting a mobile suit. You can tell by the way she is moving her hands and feet." Wufei answers. Terry's feet and hands are moving as if they were operating the joysticks and the pedals of the suit. "Her fingers are even operating the buttons on the joysticks." Wufei points to her hands and feet as he speaks but quickly puts his hand full force on her arm as she tries to lift it.
"What do you mean?!" Terry's voice is barely audible through her air mask but they pick it up. Duo presses down as her right foot moves as if operating a pedal.
"We might actually find out some dark things from her past." Trowa speaks lightly. "Whatever she says is not to leave this room." The others nod in agreement. The nurse doesn't bother due to the fact they are to keep everything confidential anyway because the patient is a Preventer.
Her voice picks up volume. "Answer me!" There is a slight pause as nothing happens. Suddenly her arms and legs move in actions the four young men recognize as orders for a mobile suit to block. "ANI!" She actually screams this one. Her voice is horse and muffled due to her breathing mask. There is a scar under her right eye that is slightly visible. She winces as if the cut that made the scar was just made.
Wufei quickly glances at Trowa while holding down Terry's arm. Quatre's face is a mask of horror as his mind puts Terry's three out bursts together. Duo is left to wonder as the nurse went to get the doctor. She returned a few minutes later with him.
Terry's arms and legs suddenly try to shoot into a position that would block fragments from the body. They nearly lose their hold on her. There was resistance for about 2 seconds and then she went limp. Her heart and breathing rate quickly drop, but her brain monitor is still sending signals meaning that she hasn't died or stopped dreaming.
Wufei recognizes it. "She isn't dead. She must have slipped into a dead state in her dream." He places his index and middle finger of his right hand on her neck. He feels a faint pulse and decides to check her wrist. No pulse. "She's controlling her blood flow!" There is a slight tone of surprise as he speaks.
"The doctor moves to the side of the bed and checks. "He is right." He sighs and slightly backs away. "She had some very good trainers. I doubt she picked up that trick on her own." He smiles slightly. "You managed to keep her from causing her wounds to open again. Thank you."
The young men were about to nod until her face suddenly contorts to one of extreme pain as air rushes out of her lungs through gritted teeth.
"Hm." The doctor moves over to her left side. He examines her rib cage by applying pressure to feel the bone. "Just as I thought. Her ribs were broken before and not nicely by the scars on her bones. Now, the scars I noticed on her back are a completely different matter. They are older, some more than others, and made by the same tool which was most likely a whip of some kind." He steps back from the bed.
Quatre looks over at Trowa and Wufei. "Do you think it was him or was she calling out for help?"
"It could very well be both." Trowa answers.
"I have my own reasons for my opinion. She wasn't calling out for help." Wufei speaks as he looks down at Terry's face.
"What are you guys talking about?!" Due is confused out of his mind right about now.
"Sorry, Duo, but it is not our place to tell you if you don't already know." Quatre answers.
"Just peachy."
Quatre pats Duo on the shoulder. "I can tell you that either someone very close to her attacked her or she was calling out for help from that person." Quatre now looks at Terry.
Terry starts to breath normally as her eyes tightly close. She issues a light moan as her right hand twitches. It slowly opens and closes.
They watch her hoping that she is waking.
She moves the other hand the same way. Then her right arm slightly moves. She slowly moves it up to the scar on her right cheek. Her eyes are still closed as she mumbles to herself, "He didn't go overboard but he could have been a little nicer." Her eyes open and she immediately shuts them. "Kuso! Turn the lights off!" (kuso = shit)
Trowa and Quatre smile as Duo laughs a little. Wufei has a smile on his face as he turns the lights to a dim setting.
"Welcome to the world of the living!" Duo grins as Terry slightly opens her eyes as they adjust to the dim light.
"Ha ha ha. What the fuck happened? I feel like I was run over by a truck."
Trowa answers her. "You shot the assassin and saved Relena. Remember now?"
"Yeah. That bitch live or die?" Terry wasn't in a good mood. She doesn't usually curse this much.
"The assassin is dead." Trowa crouches so he is at eye level with Terry. "That was a good shot by the way."
"She is about to answer when a thought hits her. "Did I say anything?" The guys look at each other. Trowa looks back at her and nods. "What did I say?"
Wufei answers first. "You said 'what do you mean', 'answer me', and 'Ani'. He did it didn't he?"
Terry sighs as she closes her eyes. "Yes, he did."
"Why?" Quatre asks. "I can't see him doing that."
A single tear runs from her closed eyes. "To save me. Please leave. I don't want company right now." Her voice is shaky.
Trowa looks at Wufei and he nods. "Let's leave her." Trowa says as he stands back to his full height. Quatre, Duo, and Wufei walk before him as they follow the doctor and nurse out. He stops to glance back at Terry only to find she is actually crying with her right hand on her face. Her body is shaking from her sobs. He turns and leaves with this sight permanently in his memory.
