Chapter 4: New Allies and Old Enemies


The eleven students pilled into the limo that Joanna had called to meet them. The sun glistened off the sparkling metallic blue paint. The limo could have held twenty if they had wanted. The leather was so soft that they sank deep into the seat, the leather fitting around their body.

"I could so fall asleep right now." Sarah said reclining her head back and closing her eyes.

"Thanks." Joanna laughed, also laying back into the seat. Duo and Quatre climbed in and sat next to their respective roommates. They sat on one side of the limo, their back facing the front of the vehicle. Trowa and Mitsu climbed in next and sat next to each other, next to Quatre. Angela and Wufei were next; they sat across from everyone, facing front. Kaiya climbed in and sat next to Angela. Relena was about to climb in and sit next to Kaiya when Heero roughly grabbed her shoulder.

"I'm not in the mood for any damn fights." He said icily. He pushed her to the ground and entered the limo. Relena gasped in shock and fell back a step.

"He-chan! You surely don't mean to imply that I would do anything do you?" she said, the sick sweetness dripping from her every word. The car had grown silent since Heero first pulled Relena back. The other teens dared not even breathe loudly. Duo then started to giggle, the giggle turned into a snicker, soon it was full fledge laughter.

Sarah and the rest of Duo's side soon followed, even Trowa as laughing a bit. Angela and Kaiya were holding their stomachs and had tears leaking out of their eyes; they were laughing so hard. Wufei just smirked a little. His eyes betraying his mirth. Heero ignored the noise and grumpily sat in the seat.

Relena was pissed to say the least. They could almost see steam coming out of her ears and she snorted fire. She huffed and climbed in next to Heero. Joanna managed to stop laughing enough to tell the driver their destination.

After twenty minutes, the car was silent except for the quiet conversations carried on between a few teens. Relena kept trying to engage Heero in a conversation, but he just ignored her. He tried staring out the window, the back of his head facing Relena, however this only caused the front to be looking at Kaiya. He quickly faced forward and stared at the "wall" behind Trowa's head.

Finally, the car pulled to a stop. The window between driver and passengers rolled down.

"We're here." The driver said smiling.

"Thank you Stames. I'll call when we need to be picked up. Enjoy your day." Joanna said. Stames tipped his hat and unlocked the doors. Relena climbed out of the limo. Joanna and Quatre followed then the rest of the people pilled out. They all stood for a minute stretching their legs and cracking their backs.

"Well, let's go have fun already!" Duo said jumping up and down.

"Could you calm yourself for two seconds Maxwell?" Wufei groaned. Duo pouted but complied. Joanna chuckled and motioned the group to follow her. They walked into the main lobby and gasped. It was gorgeous; the main colors were gold and silver. There were gold drapery's hanging down the large windows. And the carpet seemed to be woven of real gold and silver thread. There were several paintings hanging on the beautifully wallpapered walls. Many pricing in the millions.

"Wow, I could definitely not afford this on my own." Sarah said looking around in awe. Joanna laughed and moved to the main desk. After talking to the man there for a few minutes, she came back with a piece of paper and pencil.

"I need your shoe sizes guys." She said preparing to write down the sizes. After everyone had given their size and Joanna returned the paper to the clerk, she told them to hang their coats on the coat rack. The clerk and a few other employees walked over to the group. After handing out their skates, he pointed to an enclosed arena and Joanna nodded,

"That's ours guys, let's go skate!"

"Thank you for this Joanna, it's too much." Mitsu said. Everyone nodded in agreement,

"Hey think nothing of it, us people from the colonies have to stick together after all!" Joanna laughed. Relena huffed, feeling left out. The group then moved to the rink, it was a fairly large sized rink, a slight oval/egg shape and the ice was fresh, no skate marks. They all sat on the benches on the outside of the rink, and removed their various shoes. They fastened the skates to their feet. Joanna, excited to skate finished first and ran as fast as she could on skates to the rink.

She stepped out onto the ice and started moving her body. She alternated one foot, then the other, gaining speed. Once she felt that she was going fast enough she jumped up in the air, pulling a double axle and then landing, her arms sprawled out as an Olympic skater would. She then spun after the land, and completed several lazy figure eight's. She completed several more jumps and flips before skating over to the entrance to the rink and looking at the blubbering group.

"Wow! That was amazing!" Duo said jumping up and down, however, he was wearing skates so he landed wrong and fell to the ground, dragging half of the group with him. All the teens he pulled down with him smacked him upside the head, hard.

"Baka," Wufei mumbled, pulling his legs out from under Duo's body. He walked over to the rink and skated to the middle. He began skating around the rink in no particular pattern. Angela and Kaiya, two who did not fall, laughed and went into the rink. After talking for a few seconds, they nodded.

Angela and Kaiya began to "race" each other to the other side of the rink, once they neared the center; they suddenly locked their heels together and spun in a tight knit circle around each other. As they began to slow, they moved their legs, picking up speed and completed a double axle simultaneously. Then, they spun around each other again, and went down on one knee, their arms outstretched, they were laughing so hard that they had to help each other stand up.

"That was…on my… I've never seen anything like that before!" Mitsu said covering her mouth. She stepped over the bodies and into the rink. She skated over to the pair, "That was wonderful ladies." Angela and Kaiya looked up at whom had spoken to them,

"Thanks, Mitsu." Angela responded.

"Yea thanks." Kaiya echoed. Trowa and Quatre, after having removed Duo from on top of them, skated over to the teens. When Trowa arrived he wrapped his arms around Mitsu, and Quatre and Joanna skated up to the group together.

Everyone gradually began to skate around the rink; Trowa and Mitsu were holding hands, as were Quatre and Joanna. Sarah, who had helped Duo up, was now assisting him staying on his feet on the ice.

"Come on Duo-chan, it's not that hard." Sarah said laughing as Duo fell again for the third time in the last 10 minutes. Duo pouted,

"Yes, it is Sarah-chan, I don't know how to skate." Sarah sighed and steadied Duo again,

"Have you ever been roller blading?" she asked. He nodded excitedly,

"Yup! Best one in my old school!" he proclaimed proudly, Sarah sweatdropped and let go of Duo, who immediately fell to the ground in a heap. "Hey! What was that for?" He complained. She smiled and poked him in the chest,

"Hey, buddy, roller blading is the same as ice skating only it's on ice!" Duo looked at her like he just let the cat out of its proverbial bag. Sarah caught his look and crossed her arms over her chest, "You mean to tell me, that you KNOW how to ice skate but you were purposely doing poorly so that I would have to help you?"

"Ummm yes?" Duo squeaked out. She sighed and then leaned down real close to Duo's face.

"Well in that case…" just as she was about to kiss him she smirked, "catch me if you can!" As Duo comprehended what just happened, Sarah skated off like a bat out of hell, flying past the other skating teens.

"I'll get you for that!!!" Duo screamed, jumping up to follow her. While all that, commotion was going on, Heero had just entered the rink and was trying to figure out a way to get Kaiya to tell him what she was hiding. Or how he could find out on his own. A million thoughts were running through his head, not all of them his doing. His mind seemed to take off on its own course, as he skated over to Kaiya who was talking with Angela and Wufei. As he approached the group, he could make out some of what they were saying.

"Yea, I know! He is such a pain." He heard Kaiya mumble.

"Yea, but all guys are. It's just their nature, they don't know how NOT to be a pain." Angela said.

"Weak onnas…" Wufei muttered, he didn't get much farther then that before two fists came down to smack him on the head.

"You know you DON'T have to stand here if we bore you so." Angela whispered angrily, she gave Kaiya a look that said 'men!' and then shoved Wufei back a few feet. "In fact, I don't remember us asking you to come over and butt into our conversation so if you don't mind!"

"I can do whatever I please onna!" Wufei screamed back. Angela balled up her fists and started chanting some ancient Chinese mantra. She looked over to Kaiya, who laughed and nodded,

"Go ahead. I don't mind." This was all she needed; Angela smirked and then started to pummel Wufei.

"What the hell onna? Get off me!" He shouted. He then skated away from her and tried to stay that way. However, Angela wasn't finished,

"Oh, no you don't! You are NOT getting away that easily!" she chased after him, ready to beat the shit out of him. Kaiya started laughing. ~I haven't laughed like this in years! If only Grandfather could see me now!~ she thought. In fact, she was laughing so hard that she slipped on the ice and started to fall. Heero who was already heading towards her, to detain her before Angela and Wufei came back, sped up his pace. He reached out and caught her before she hit the hard, cold, unforgiving ice. (AN: And it can be when you fall! Ouch!)

Kaiya turned to thank whoever had saved her from the embarrassing situation and nearly choked, "Um, thanks Heero. That would have really sucked if I fell."

"Whatever, I want you to answer my questions." He glared at her. She gulped because he had still not let her go from her almost fall. His tight grip had hold of her elbows, and since she was still weak in the knees, he was supporting most of her weight. She had to look up at him, when she would normally have been eye level. All positions she didn't want to be in at the moment.

"Look, thanks, but I think that I can stand up on my own now." She said hoping he would just leave it alone.

"Not until you tell me what's really going on around here." He growled, gripping her elbows tighter. She sighed, she didn't know how much to tell him, Grandfather said that her operation couldn't be undermined. No, he couldn't know about her being a Gundam Pilot. ~What do I do? What should I tell him, It looks like he isn't going to give up anytime soon, I have to tell him something!~ she thought. Her mind racing a thousand times a minute.

"OK, I…" just as she was about to finish Relena came racing up to them. She grabbed Heero with inhuman strength and pulled him off Kaiya. They were both so shocked that they fell to the ground. The other teens having witnessed this skated over to help. Wufei reached Heero; who was still too shocked to move; first and pulled him to his feet.

"You OK Heero?" he asked his eyes trained onto Relena and Kaiya. Relena had picked Kaiya up by her shirt and was holding her up to her face.

"What did I tell you bitch?" she ground out. Kaiya got her footing back and braced her left leg as she brought her right one to connect with Relena's gut.

"I know what you told me, bitch." She mimicked Relena who was holding her stomach on the ice. It was Kaiya's turn to pull Relena up by her shirt, "And I don't give a damn what you think I was doing, or wasn't doing. I don't have any interest in Heero like that in any way ~liar~ so leave me the hell alone!" Her own thoughts betraying her mid-stream.

"Why you…" Relena started, she managed to pull her self off the ice long enough to lunge at Kaiya. She swung her fist blindly. Kaiya grabbed her fist and began to squeeze her hand. A few cracking sounds could be heard as some of Relena's bones in her hands broke.

"Just walk away, and you won't have to suffer any more Relena-sama." Kaiya sighed, the exhaustion showing through her features. She looked like she was about to give up on life and everything in it. "I am sick and tired of stubborn assholes like you, and you Heero…" she directed the last part to Heero. Her face turning away from Relena's one of agony, "who think that you know every damn thing in my life, or need to know every damn thing in my life. I'm just here to learn, and experience life like a normal teen! Is it too much to ask for you people to leave me alone? So unless any one of you want to be like Relena right now, then I suggest you leave me the hell alone!"

When Kaiya dropped Relena's hand, she immediately grabbed her broken hand and held it securely to her chest. She stood up and shouted to Kaiya,

"You bitch! You're lucky that you are here for a peace mission; otherwise, I would throw you out on the streets until your time is up! I never want to see your face again, unless it's in class. Don't come near my He-chan again! Or these students, you are a danger to them and to yourself! You'll kill everyone around you!" she screamed venomously to Kaiya.

~Uncle, Dad, Mom, sissy…~ Thousands of names flew through her mind. The one of her younger sister stuck. Her sissy, or Lily. ~What had happened to her was my fault! Mine! If only…~ she shut off those thoughts and closed her eyes tightly. A lone tear escaped her right eye, before she quickly wiped it and any trace of it away.

Kaiya walked up to Relena, "Fine." As she turned to leave, Relena had a smug look on her face. Kaiya quickly snapped around and socked Relena in her jaw. The popping sound of a dislocating jaw echoed around the silent rink. Relena fell to the ground, wanting to scream in pain, but it hurt to even blink. Kaiya skated to the exit and hopped out. She went over to the bench and hurriedly changed shoes. The door to the rink was opened and closed before anyone could even blink.

"I'll go after her." Angela volunteered. She skated over to the exit and quickly changed into her shoes. She took off after Kaiya. Everyone else was just starring at the mess that Kaiya had left behind. Relena was lying on the ground, tears coming out of her eyes. The ice around her head had taken a slightly pinkish hue.

"Miss. Relena, are you OK?" Quatre asked, moving to help her up off the ice. She had passed out from either pain or shock, Quatre wasn't certain. "Duo, call an ambulance, Joanna call your driver, the rest of you go back to the dorm. I will accompany Miss. Relena to the hospital. Wufei, inform Millarido and Miss. Noin on what happened. Let's move people."

The people who were assigned a job all scurried to complete it. Twenty minutes later the ambulance arrived. After a brief questioning of everyone, the drivers were satisfied enough to leave for the hospital.

"I'll see you back at the dorm, bye." Quatre gave Joanna a quick peck on the cheek before climbing in the back with Relena and the ambulance member. Joanna waved goodbye to him as the vehicle speed off.

Everyone in the meantime had changed their shoes and was waiting for Stames to arrive. Five minutes after the ambulance left Stames pulled up. The remaining teens climbed exhaustedly into the limo, many fighting to stay awake.

"What happened Miss?" Stames asked noticing the looks and absence of several of the students.

"Never mind that Stames, just take us back to the dorms please, we're exhausted." Joanna asked.

"Sure no problem Miss." The window divider rolled up again the limo tore off towards the dorms.


***Meanwhile***

"Kaiya, Kaiya wait please!" Angela shouted after the teen. Kaiya didn't stop, but she slowed down enough that Angela was able to catch up to her. Angela walked next to her for awhile. No words passed, none were needed. Finally, Kaiya guided them to a nearby bench.

"What was that about back there?" Angela asked looking at the now setting sun. The sky was a bright orange/yellow, with pink, red, and slight purple splashes of color. The sun was just at the point where it cast shadows on the entire sky, the bright red outlining the orange and yellow sphere. It was really a breathtaking sight. Kaiya shrugged, she brought her knees up to her chest and rested her head on her bent knee.

"Is she OK?" she managed to get out.

"I don't know. I left before I could see. Nice right hook though." Angela smiled at the last comment. Kaiya semi-smiled before resting her head, facing the horizon.

"I guess."

"Are you OK?" Angela's question was answered with a deep sigh.

"What I am about to tell you, I have never told anyone. So I would appreciate it if…"

"Your secret is safe with me. I promise." Angela assured cutting her off. Kaiya nodded then took a deep breath.

"As of right now, my grandfather is my only living relative. It used to be my mom, dad, uncle, little sister and little brother. My mom's brother lived with my grandfather, and us. This all started before the war and the tensions, well the really obvious ones anyway. My little sister, Sissy, I called her, was just about 4 years old. Her real name was Lily… Lily May." Kaiya stopped to smile. She continued on, her voice even thicker,

"My little brother, Jordan, was barely a year. Well, Jordan got sick one day. We don't know how, but he did. Soon he was in the hospital for…gosh… it must have been close to four months. Well, anyway, his condition worsened, and he… he died. It almost killed my mom and dad."

"Kaiya I'm so sorry." Angela said rubbing her hand across her back. Kaiya snorted,

"That's just the beginning. That was a natural cause. Then…" just as Kaiya was about to finish a horrendous sound could be heard. It reverberated off the entire forest. It sounded like metal grinding with metal. Kaiya and Angela jumped up in time to see a battle taking place before their very eyes. An OZ Leo was firing its blaster at what appeared to be a Guerrilla MB.

"Guerrilla's? Here? Since when?" Kaiya whispered to herself. Kaiya looked over to see Angela staring off at the battle. Her eyes never left the fight but she spoke with such calm and coolness one would think that she was merely telling the score in a sports game.

"Since last fall. They've been hanging all around this town. Causing trouble for not just OZ, but the ESA and Interpol. These aren't your average Joe Guerrilla's either. They are masking their real purpose behind the freedom fighter's cause. We have yet to figure out who their target is, but we know that they've been strategically attacking different people from different groups."

"Angela? Don't tell me you're from OZ?" Kaiya questioned, Angela laughed.

"No, I'm from the Chinese Interpol. I represent just a few Chinese from L5 who are sick and tired of waiting for you Gundam Pilots to get off your asses and stop this war." Angela smirked at Kaiya's reaction,

"How? You? But?" Kaiya stuttered.

"How did I get past your systems, hacking? How did I know who you were?" At Kaiya's nod she continued, "Well, let's just say I have my ways, and friends in very high places. I also know about the other five, the boys from the colonies. And I also know where their Gundams are stored. I assume yours isn't there with it?"

"No, Grandfather said that I wasn't to let anyone know of my true mission, or even that I was on a mission. Too late for that now I guess."

"Don't sweat it, my grandfather is Master O."

"But, your grandfather runs that temple, and is a great martial artist. Master O is well, not."

"Yea, I know what you mean, but Master O is my dad's dad. My other grandfather is my mom's father." Angela explained.

"Don't tell me that the other girls have 'special' grandfather's too." Kaiya mumbled. Angela laughed,

"Nope, just you and me. Do you have your Gundam on earth yet?"

"No, I'm waiting for Grandfather to send it down. He said it was on the way, possibly Lily too." At Angela's confused look she explained, "My Siberian tiger I've raised since she was a cub."

"Ohh, I have my own 'friend' a Black Panther named Midnight." Kaiya nodded her approval.

"What about your Gundam?"

"Same as yours."

"Damn, I think we need to contact our grandfathers…" Kaiya was interrupted when a bright light filled the dark sky. The Guerrilla suit had taken out the OZ Leo. They turned just in time to see the Guerrilla suit place its thermal saber back into its sheath hidden behind the left arm shield.

"We should go, we have a lot of work to do." Kaiya nodded and they took off towards the main street. Angela hailed a cab and they gave the instructions to the dorm with the command to step on it.


***Peacecraft Academy***

"She really hit Relena?" Milliardo asked Wufei for what seemed like the twentieth time.

"Yes, I've already been through this." Wufei grumbled. He was exhausted, after the brief pummeling from Angela he just wanted to go back to his dorm and drink some hot tea and go lick his wounds.

"Milliardo, he's tired. Leave him alone. We'll question her when she gets back." Noin turned to Wufei; "you are dismissed." Wufei bowed and turned sharply on his heel. He quickly made his exit in case they changed their mind.

"Why do you think that she really did it?" Noin asked Milliardo after Wufei was out of hearing range.

"I have no idea. But if it was just based on the words, than I'm sure my dear sister deserved it!"

"Milliardo!" Noin scolded ready to smack her husband upside the head,

"Hey! Admit it, when it comes to Heero, she can be a jealous bitch and get carried away. It was only a matter of time before someone put her in her place." Milliardo defended himself.

"Liar, you're just glad that someone will take Heero away from your precious sister. Tell me how much did it hurt to say that about her?" Noin joked. Milliardo mocked a heart attack and grasped his chest.

"I think I'm dying! Noin, quick I need mouth to mouth resuscitation!"

"You're breathing idiot." Noin stuck her tongue out at him. He quickly grabbed her waist and kissed her. He reached one had up to massage her face. She leaned her head into his hand, and the kiss became more desperate, insistent. When they parted for air, Milliardo smiled at her,

"Don't stick out your tongue unless you plan to use it!"

"Oohhhhh!" she steamed. She punched him lightly in the arm before covering his mouth with hers again. A coughing sound interrupted their ::ahem:: activities.

"Sir, Ma'am. There is news. A Guerrilla suit has just attacked and destroyed an OZ scout. We managed to track the Guerrilla suit for only a few hundred miles before it lost us. What should we do?"

"Keep on it. Enhance all radar to pick up the slightest movement. It's getting worse…" Milliardo mumbled the last part.

"Yes sir." The soldier saluted before turning on his heel and leaving.

"Should we alert the pilots?" Noin asked.

"No, let them rest. We'll tell them in the morning." Noin nodded,

"I just hope we won't be too late."

"I know what you mean Noin, I know what you mean…"


***Outside Peacecraft Academy***

"OK, we have to get our laptops, except we both have very not happy roommates right now. What should we do?" Angela asked Kaiya once the cab had pulled out of the Academy.

"I say we just walk in and take it. Hopefully, they're asleep or in their rooms. We just have to be really quiet." Angela nodded and the girls headed to the elevator. Just as Angela was about to get in, Kaiya stopped her. She shook her head and motioned her to be quiet. Kaiya reached into her pocket and pulled out a small computer chip. Once the doors opened, she stuck to the wall that the camera was on and pressed her self tightly to the wall. She reached up and placed the chip on the side of the camera. After turning it off and on again, she motioned Angela to enter the elevator.

"What did you do?" Angela asked once the doors had closed.

"We are now invisible. To them, we aren't here. It's an empty car." Kaiya smiled. Angela laughed,

"Way to go girl!" she gave her a high five, and laughed. Once they reached their floor they slowly peeked their head out to make sure the coast was clear. Once they were sure no one was coming, the slowly stepped out of the elevator.

"Meet me back here in ten minutes." Kaiya said. Angela nodded and they quickly made their way to their rooms.


***Angela and Wufei's room***

Wufei was in his room meditating. He had tried to sleep, but to no avail. His dreams only plagued him and made it impossible to sleep. He sighed and stood up. He walked over to his dresser and opened the top drawer. He searched through his CD collection, finally choosing one he also pulled out his CD player. He walked back to the pillows where he was sitting and started the CD player. He was so lost in his music that he didn't hear the front door click open and close.

Angela quietly made her way into the room, she moved stealthily to her room. She walked into her open door and made her way in. She walked over to her desk which, her laptop was sitting on. After closing it and sliding it back into its case, she walked over to her closet. After rooting around for a minute, she grabbed her bag with her weaponry. She hefted it onto her shoulder and picked up her laptop case.

Meanwhile, Wufei, whose batteries had died, sat up angrily.

"Damn it. Now I have to go find the damn batteries. Just as I was getting somewhere with the meditations." He grumbled to himself. As he made his way out to the kitchen, where the batteries were kept, he heard a noise coming from Angela's room. He stood outside her room, arms crossed waiting for her to emerge.

"What are you doing here, Onna?" he asked when she quietly left the room. Angela jumped up surprised at his presence and nearly dropped her laptop.

"I live here," she responded before moving towards the door. Wufei reached his arm out and blocked her path,

"Where are you going?"

"None of your business. Leave me alone." She warned. When Wufei didn't move, she sighed. "Fine, we'll do it the hard way."

"What do you me…" Wufei was never able to finish his sentence because before he could blink, he was on the ground, Angela pinching just the right nerve in his neck.

"Sorry" she apologized. She quickly kissed him on the check and ran out the door. She made her way down the hall to the elevator, Kaiya wasn't there yet, so she quickly moved out of sight in case any of the other teens went to the elevator, and waited for Kaiya to return.


***Kaiya and Heero's Room***

Heero was sitting in the living room watching the news updates on the little skirmish between OZ and the Guerrilla's. He heard the door open and immediately stood to intercept Kaiya, he knew it would be her.

"Where did you go?" he asked from the shadows. Kaiya jumped and held her hand to her heart.

"No where."


"Don't lie to me." He demanded.

"I'm not. I didn't go anywhere. I just had to get out. Angela found me and managed to calm me down. I have to go now. So if you don't mind…" Kaiya tried to move around Heero who was blocking her path to her room.

"You still didn't answer my question at the rink. Who are you really?" he mandated. Kaiya shook her head and shoved Heero to the ground,

"Not now, I have too many things to do. So please just stay out of it and I swear I will tell you when I get back."

"How do I know that you'll come back? Or keep your word?" he asked, not expecting her to come up with a feasible way. She sighed and closed her eyes. She looked up at him and when she opened her eyes again, he could see unshed tears,

"Please, please just trust me." She begged him. He had never seen anyone look that desperate. He was shocked, and in enough of a stupor for her to pass around him and into her room. She had won half the battle. The toughest part would be leaving again.

"Why do I feel this way?" Heero cursed himself. He sighed and decided to follow his heart this time and ignore the Perfect Solider in him. He walked to her door, slowly trying to form the words he would say. When he looked into her room she was finishing packing her laptop and had grabbed a large duffel bag. She made her way to the door, but stopped in front of him.

"Will you trust me?" she asked him, her eyes pleading. Heero stepped up to her and reached his hand out, cupping her face.

"I will under one condition." He answered. Kaiya surprised that he was even offering his trust opened her eyes wide,

"Wh…what condition?" she stuttered. He lowered his head to hers and rested his forehead against hers, just as he had done in the plane.

"Come back to me…" he whispered before leaning down to claim her lips. Kaiya hungrily returned the kiss, dropping her bag to wrap her arms around him. He reached down and embraced her waist. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, silently asking for permission. Kaiya complied all too happily and their tongues dueled. After they broke apart for air, Kaiya looked into his eyes and reached her hands to hold his face to hers.

"I promise, I will return to you." Heero smiled, a true smile.

"I shall await your return then." They kissed on last time, a short but sweet kiss. She picked up her dropped belongings and ran to the door. She took one last glance at Heero before she was out the door. After she left Heero locked the door and sagged to the floor. He banged the back of his head against the door several times, not enough to hurt him seriously, but enough to form a bruise if he kept it up.

"What the hell is my problem?" he growled, before standing up and walking to his room. He fell into his bed without changing or pulling the covers back. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow.


***Elevator***

Angela saw Kaiya running up to her. She was flushed and out of breath.

"What happened?" she asked. Kaiya blushed.

"Nothing, let's get out of here." Kaiya suggested, opening the elevator and entering. Angela shrugged and followed her in. Once they were at the bottom Angela walked out of the elevator and Kaiya handed Angela her stuff. She pressed her body to the wall once again and removed the chip that she had placed on the camera. After the doors closed, the two took off towards the woods.

"Where are we going?" Kaiya asked.

"I have a jeep stashed out here." Angela answered back. They continued to run for about five minutes before the trees began to clear and a standard army issue camouflage blanket was sticking out among the clearing. Angela walked up to it and removed the camouflage. A black jeep, with an open top was under the green and tan blanket.

"Put your stuff in the trunk." Angela commanded.

"We should contact them now." Kaiya suggested. Angela nodded and after their bags where in the trunk they each sat in the jeep and opened their laptops. Angela was sitting in the drivers seat and Kaiya in the passenger's seat. Kaiya opened her e-mail account and saw that she had one from her grandfather,


My Angel,

I understand that it would not be possible for you to check up on the progress of the Gundams. I was just making sure that they were secure to outsiders. Washi and Lilly are being sent down immediately. Expect them within a day of this e-mail. They will be sent to a contact of mine, Howard. I assume that you've met Angela and you know who each other are. I apologize for not informing you of who she was yet, but I felt that it wasn't necessary at the time. Work together with her to figure out what is going on in that area. OZ is up to something and we must figure out at once before we continue.

Dr. J

Kaiya sighed and prepared to write her letter,


Grandfather,

I have news. It is not OZ that is the problem down here. It is the Guerrilla forces. They are causing problems for everyone including OZ. What is Howard's location, send the encrypted address ASAP. Angela and I have already been working together. And I regret to inform you that I beat the shit out of Miss. Peacecraft. Stop glaring at the e-mail, it can't change what I did. She deserved it… anyway, I request permission to tell the other pilots of my existence and mission. They can help. ::sigh:: OK, truth is I can't lie to Heero anymore. I live with him, and I can't keep sneaking around without him getting more suspicious than he already is. Therefore, I request permission to tell at least him of my identity. Please?

Meanwhile, Angela was having a similar "conversation" with her grandfather.


My Dearest,

What have you found out about the Guerrilla and OZ forces, which is causing the trouble in the area? There is a girl there with you, Kaiya she is a Gundam Pilot as you know. I want you to work with her to stop OZ or the Guerrilla's. If it is in fact the Guerrilla's that are causing all of this, then I want the two of you to find out what they are planning. Silence and Midnight are being sent to a contact of mine, Howard.

Master O

Angela clicked on the respond button and wrote her response.

Grandfather,

Kaiya and I have already hooked up to figure this out. It is the Guerrilla's we believe that is the main source of the problem. The mission is accepted. Hold on… Kaiya accepts as well. Send the location of Howard as soon as you get this e-mail. We don't have much time and need to act fast. Permission requested to inform the other pilots of our identities and mission. We could use their help with this one. It is going to be bigger than us all. If not all of them, then in the least Chang, Wufei. He is your student so you would know best if it were wise to inform him of this. Just know that him and I are roommates and I cannot lie too much longer. Especially since I had to knock him out tonight in order to leave the room. ::bows::

After the girls finished their e-mails they shut their laptops down and sat back discussing their next move. Suddenly both teens sat up as they heard the sound of guns cocking and loading. They looked around and all of a sudden, they found themselves surrounded by Guerrilla forces.

"Hold it right there, put your hands above your head, and slowly climb out of the vehicle. Now!" the leader spoke, his gun trained onto Kaiya. They looked at each other and reached behind them to grab their 9-mm's. With unearthly speed, they took out ten of the hundred soldiers. As soon as one fell, more moved into take his place.

"We're getting no where." Kaiya grumbled, extremely angry with her self for falling into the trap.

"We can't give up." Angela screamed shooting more. She reached to her hip, and pulled her sword from its sheath. She began to charge the soldiers taking them down. Kaiya got the same idea and pulled her sword from its sheath, she too soon had taken down several soldiers.

Kaiya was about to run her sword through a very scared looking soldier when a voice stopped her.

"Do it and she dies," Kaiya turned to see the leader holding his gun to Angela's forehead. She was on her knees, her arms pinned behind her back by a soldier. If that wasn't enough, she also had her own sword pressed tightly against her neck. Kaiya dropped her sword and put her hands up.

"No Kaiya, run!" Angela screamed. Kaiya shook her head,

"No, I can not be responsible for any more deaths of my friends and family." The leader smirked and motioned a soldier to hold her. Just as their hands were being tied behind their backs a voice shouted out through the field.

"Untie them or your leader dies." Came the cold monotone from behind the girls.
