Legato with vengeance
Hi out there and good after noon and welcome once and again to my wonderful fan fic. Anyone want to review, really it's boring righting a story without an audience. So boring, in fact I just might loose interest and stop righting it. So, please review. .*.*

Four: Zero System
"Now, today before you begin work on your Gundam's cockpit system, I would like to show you a special system used for piloting certain Gundam. However, this system was very risky and many were not able to handle the stress it could put on people not apt to using it. Its name was the Zero System. I have made a simulation cockpit for you seven to see if you will be able to handle it in your own Gundam." Quatre directed the group from their computers so he could show them the radical system for piloting Gundam.
This sounds interesting don't you think, Sally? Mack asked in his head.
Not entirely, my father told me about that system. It has the power to corrupt a person or even kill them. Even if a person was able to conquer it they where forever affected.
You're sure cheery about this.

"First off I would like Meiran to start, then Seiko, followed By Kat, next Ariel, then Sally, and finally Mack," Quatre announced the order of the trainees to test the Zero System.
"Seiko… Seiko," Kat mumbled, then spoke over her shoulder. "Hey Meiran do I know anyone named Seiko from before this mess?"
"How should I know? I don't go to you're school any more after all," Meiran sighed closing her eyes.
O.o "Wait…you're that…" Kat turned to Seiko, pointing a finger at him, "that – that guy! *My sister's boyfriend's brother!"
Narrowing his eyes Seiko replied, "Yeah…so?"
"Oh my God!"
"Thank you for noticing…" Seiko murmured as Kat stared at him a moment, then began circling him, studying him a moment. ¬.¬ "What are you doing?"
"You've grown! Wow and you cut your hair," Kat smiled up at him, "You're actually slightly, decently cute now!"
O.O . " 'Slightly, decently cute'?! What do you mean by that?!"
"Hey, you don't have to yell, you should be happy!"
"Who's yelling?!" Seiko's vein began to throb.
"Not me!"
"Well, I have news for you-"
"Yes, you two be partners for the next simulation," Quatre abruptly appeared beside them, "and depending on you handle it you might be partners for this operation."
O.O
O.O
"Ha, Ha. You're stuck with that Seiko guy," Mack teased laughing out loud.
"Hey I…" Kat was cut off in her protests as Quatre announced that she and Seiko would be next.
I swear some day they'll realize they're flirting. Mack thought to himself once again coming to the realization too late that he was alone in that thought.
I don't know they sound like they're bickering to me.
I guess.

"Next pair is Mack and Sally," Quatre announced the last pair having had Meiran go with Ariel.
"We're here Quatre sir," the two chorused
"Good now for a few minutes I would like you two to sit in the cockpits and adjust to the controls then when you're done tell me and I'll start the simulation. Just remember to stay in near constant contact."
"Yes sir," they chorused again.

FOUR WEEKS LATER…

"Good morning every body I would like all trainees to report to the dock at 0-400 hours." Quatre's voice boomed out loud and clear over the intercom loud enough even to wake even Seiko who had been know not to wake up until he was repeatedly pelted with five super soakers.
Oh my god why in the colonies is he going to have us do drills at, Mack thought then looked over at his clock seeing that it was currently two o'clock am, four in the morning?
Because he wants to surprise us with something, Sally replies flatly, obviously as happy as Mack about getting up at two in the morning.
Do you have to invade my mind the instant I think one single thing?
Yes.
Wait let me guess it's because 'you said so and you know best because you're Sally'?
Yes. Also, I think you should spend more time getting ready, than more time sitting in your bed with that goofy expression on your face.
How in the…. How do you know what I'm doing?
Because you could see what I'm doing if you concentrate hard enough. All you have to do to see what a person that you have a mental connection with is concentrate on them with you eyes closed and then you will see what they see.
Do you think I could try to do that now?
In just a second…. Ok now you can.
Ok… why did I have to wait so long?
You'll see.
Ok. Mack concentrated hard remembering how Sally looked, How she acted then a vision appeared in his eyes as though he had his eyes open and was walking around. All he saw was one of the doors to the rooms each of the pilots had assuming that Sally had just left her room. He opened one eye to test what would happen and was surprised to see that while the open eye showed where he was the other eye still showed where Sally was, creeping closer to the door she had been watching. Hey it worked.
That's great.
Then Mack walked over to his door one eye still closed then as he opened the door something shouted, "BBBBBBOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
O.O
"Ha I scared you!"
"Sally," Mack made his father's patented mock pout face then closed his eyes sighing then calmly and flatly asked, "Sally once you're done trying to see what the person is seeing how do you stop?"
"Oh, you can't unless you can switch to another person's vision; which is very impossible because according to the legend my father told me of only couples destined to fall in love and get married happily will have this power. However only very special couples will," Sally calmly explained walking down the hall beside Mack. His face looked as though he wasn't sure what to think whether to be happy that he had gotten his first girlfriend or just tell Sally off for telling such stupid tales.
To be continued…
* Some of the pilots have had other children, but I only listed the ones pertinent to the story.
