Chapter 5: The World Under Attack
Chrissy got home on record time, five minutes. She would usually go and hang out with Quatre, but she just decided to come home and go straight to bed. When she got home, her father was sitting there, holding her twin brothers, Sam and David. "Dad, you're home." said Chrissy
"Yes Christina, I'm finally home, and I have much to tell you about what's been going on in space." he answered
Wanda came rushing in and grabbed Chrissy. "I'll....talk to you in a minute, dad."
Wanda grabbed her and she locked them both in the large linen closet they had. "Ok Christina, I am your twin sister and I need to know something." she said
"Ok, what?" she asked
"Are your boyfriend and his friends really gundam fighters?"
"What?! How did you-"
"You left the computer on downstairs. I just read a bit about the designs and then it all made sense. The boys showing up at school, nobody knows where they come from, none of their parents come to the PTA meetings, it made sense."
"But, you go to a different school. How could you know?"
"One of my friends go to your school."
"Oh yeah, Jamie."
"Right, now, tell me everything you know."
"But-"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm your sister. Your secret's safe with me."
Ronnise walked around a bit. Her headaches have been getting worse and she was afraid that the worst was to come. She found herself in Center City, where most people would be at 9:30 at night. Resturants were full, hotels were getting booked every second. People were just naturally busy in Philadelphia. Tomorrow was Halloween, tonight was mischef night, so today was particularly crazy. She stopped into the cafe that Trowa was working in. He was cleaning up, looked like the cafe was closing down early. "I didn't expect a cafe to close so early." she said
"Today is mischef night, my manager said to close at ten, I'm just getting out early." he said
"Oh I see, don't want to clean up the egg mess?"
"Egg mess?"
"Don't you know? Mischef night is when teens and kids come out to throw eggs at people's windows, cars, and houses, sometimes at people. Sometimes we do worse things."
"You didn't come here to egg this place, did you?"
"Me? Oh no, I've had my fair share of egging when I was younger, I can't do it now, since one the cops are out and two I've already been in juvinile detention for that stuff. Believe me, I don't want to go back."
Wufei was walking around with Brittany. He was particualarly annoyed at the fact that this was mischef night and the cops were everywhere. Brittany explained to him that this is what cops do. There was a full moon out. The snow gistened under the moonlight. Two things were shining in the sky and they looked like they were falling to earth, fast. "I hope those are not mobile suits." said Brittany
"I hope you are right. Brittany, if I said I had a mobile suit, how would you react?"
"I don't know, it depends on what side you're on. I could understand that you were in the military."
"Have you ever heard of a gundam?"
"Gundam? Hmm.....I heard it was a military project that was shut down because of a terrible accident. The gundams were never really sent out as part of a military offense, or as my father told me."
"Brittany *sigh* Quatre, Heero, Trowa, Duo, and I have gundams."
"What? That's impossible! They were destroyed years ago."
She looked down at the snow, some egg was on it. "Wufei I don't know what to say......this is all so knew. Wait, Chrissy knows about you guys doesn't she?"
"Hai."
"Dammit! I knew she was acting strange! When I get my hands on her, she's dead meat!"
Chloe was spray painting a car when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She screamed and slapped the figure. "Ow Chloe, that hurt." said a familiar voice
"Duo?" she asked
"Yeah, it's me."
She made a sweatdrop. "Sorry about that, I thought you were one of the cops." she said
"No problem, so what are you doing?"
"What does it look like? Causing vandalism."
"Why?"
"You're kidding right?"
He shook his head no. "Its mischef night baka!" she said "The night when kids come out to cause mischef."
"How about we go walk around a bit instead of spray painting?"
"Hmmm.....ok, the colors were getting on my hands anyway."
Ronnise felt something run through her body. Trowa looked at her worriedly. "The evil, its here!" she said
"When?" he asked
"Now."
A mobile suit came crashing down the street. People were runing everywhere. Ronnise stood in shock. "Damn...." muttered Trowa
He grabbed the girl by the arm and ran.
Meghan was running real fast with the crowd, she didn't even noticed the figure in front of her. She tripped and looked to see Heero. "Gomen nasai Yuy-chan." she said
He was busy looking at the mobile suit to really notice. Meghan started pulling him. "Come on Yuy-chan, we have to get out of here!" she said
He still looked at the mobile suit, pulling out his gun. It was getting closer and Meghan kept pulling on him. "Yuy-chan! We'll be killed if we stay here!" she said
The mobile suit got closer and was about to step on them until Meghan glowed a bright yellow and the wind rushed by, making winds fly everywhere.
Chrissy and Wanda ran out of the house to see people running everywhere. "What the hell is going on?!" asked Wanda
"Wanda, watch your language in front of the kids!" scolded Ami
"Sorry mom."
"Wanda, I think the mobile suits are attacking!" said Chrissy
"I think so too. Dad, get everybody down into the shelter."
Jin grabbed Sam and David and ran inside.Christina zipped past Wanda and ran into the crowd. "Christina! Come back!" she yelled
It was no use, he was gone.
The wind knocked over the mobile suit and both Heero and Meghan were in total shock. "I just did that?" she asked
Heero could only nod. He had never seen any person in his life do that. He'd been around Quatre for a while, but he could never do that. He got ouf his state of shock when he saw another mobile suit coming. He grabbed Meghan and began running. "Where are you taking me?" she asked
Children and teens ran past Wufei and Brittany. "What's up with them?" asked Brittany
They both heard a rumble and both looked behind them. A mobile suit was chasing them and Brittany screamed. Wufei tuggued at her. "Come on, we have to get the shenlong gundam." he said
"The what?"
"Come on!"
Chrissy kept pushing through the crowd. "Quatre!" she yelled "Quatre, where are you?!"
She couldn't see a thing through the hordes of people. She felt the large rumble and the crowd got faster. Cars came by and Chrissy felt herself falling over. "Christina!" yelled a voice
She tried getting up and couldn't until the people were gone. When she got up, she was face to face with a mobile suit. She started running and the mobile suit ran after her. She had anime tears running down her eyes. "Why in hell does this crap happen to me?!" she whined
The mobile suit has a beam canon and begins destroying buildings and houses.
Duo and Chloe were running for their lives from three mobile suits. "Why did you spray paint a mobile suit?!" whined Chloe
"It looked fun at the time!" said Duo
"There's a fine line between fun and stupidity. You've just crossed over into the stupid line!"
"Oh shut up!"
"It's not my fault that a mobilue suit have beam cannons on them!"
The beams shot high and fast as the two ran. There was slippery ice and Chloe fell over. The beam shot again and it hit a building, causing bricks and other debree to fall. Duo shielded Chloe with himself as the debree fell.
Chrissy ran faster as buildings collasped around her. People were pouring in the center of the street from every direction, trying to get out of center city. Then the people began running the other direction as the shenlong gundam appeared. "Christina!" yelled a voice
It was Wanda. She grabbed her by the arm and tried to get her to move. "Christina, we're under attack! We have to get out of here while we can!" she yelled
"Wanda, we'll be fine. That's one of the five gundams I've told you about."
Wanda let go of her twin and looked up at it.
Duo slowly lifted himself out of the debree. Chloe got up after he did. She looked at him with concerned eyes. "Duo......you saved me." she said
He had one eye half-closed and one eye fully open. Blood came down the side of his head, the corner of his mouth, and down the back of his shirt where it was ripped. Tow of his ribs were cracked and it hurt to breathe. "I guess I did save ya." he said
Chloe touched his head. "You're hurt."
"Ah don't worry about it. I'll be fine."
"Stay still, I'll stop the bleeding."
Chloe up a hand to his bleeding spot and closed her eyes. She started glowing a dark red and Duo's eyes widened. The wound on Duo's head closed up and the bleeding stopped. She smiled at him. "Feel better?" she asked
He only nodded. "Chloe.....how in hell did you do that?" he asked
"Well, I don't know, I was born with it I guess. We should get out of here before more mobile suits come. My house is not far from here."
Meghan was terrified when she saw the gundams. Brittany put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Heero knows what he's doing."she said
"You really think so? All this time I thought he was a psychopath."
Brittany made a sweatdrop. "He may be one, but going out and fighting may be our only option right now."
Duo laid on Chloe's bed as she looked at him worriedly. On the way over, blood was all on the snow. There were a lot of explosions and things were falling off the wall. Duo was unconcious sho Chloe had to heal him fast. She knew there was only one way to heal his whole body. She hated it, but did it anway. First, she reomoved the top part of his outfit. Then, she laid on top of him and closed her eyes as she laid her head on his chest. Her whole body started glowing a dark red.
Quatre was helping saving victims that were buried undere the rubble of the buildings tha collasped. He was seriously worried about Chrissy but he knew he was needed here. "Damn, this is just like the incident back on September 11th 2001." said a firefighter
"September 11th?" asked Quatre
"Are you stupid kid? September 11th was the most tragic day in America's history. Up in Manhattan, New York, two plances hit the World Trade Centers, killing a whole lot of people. So many people were sad. The whole incident wast terrible. Some people jumped out of the windows just to die. The airplanes that crashed eventually blew up and killed the people inside the plane. I'll tell ya, the worst thing in our country's history."
This really made Quatre think. "Christina...." he said
Duo's eyes opened slowly as he looked around. The walls were pink with posters and pictures all over the wall. Then he felt some weight and looked down to see Chloe laying on him. "Chloe?" he asked
"Oh Duo, I didn't expect you to wake up so soon." she said
"Are you ok?"
"Not really. I'm very tired and weak. You think you can stay like this for a while?"
"Hai, I can stay like this for a while."
"Arigato."
"I had to do make it up to you since you just saved my life."
"Oh Duo.....you're so sweet."
He held the young girl in his arms. "I feel so safe in your arms." she said
"You know Chloe, before I met you, I never thought I could love someone. I guess I was wrong."
"Duo...."
"Chloe....."
General Une looked down on the unsuspecting earth. She tapped her fingers on the window of the Death Starr. "So how are all those pathetic people down on earth?" asked a voice
Une turned around and saluted her superior. "Ma'am, the people on earth are in a state of panic." she said "The whole world is in a state of code red."
"Hmm....good."
"Should we deploy our message?"
"No, let's wait and see what happens first.
Kari: Oooh evil voice.
Brittany: Well, you made it evil.
Kari: You guys will be surprised in the next chapter.
Brittany: I hope they will be.
Duo: You think this will accually suprise all the readers?
Brittany: It surprised us when Chloe was on top of you.
Duo: -.-; That was part of the healing process.
Chloe: Yeah, we didn't say anything when you and Wufei were in the bathroom together.
Wufei: That was one time!
Kari: (thinking)Here they go again.
Kari: Well, as you can see, were in a bit of an arguement over love here. Please review!
