To Fall Before the Flame, Chapter 3
The closer we got to the exit, the more guards seemed to get in our way.
"Get them!"
"The prisoner has escaped!"
"Dad, duck in here!"
I put my injured father into an empty side room and cleared the pathway in front of us with a machine gun i 'borrowed' from one of the fallen soldiers.
"Let's go!"
My father leaned against me once again and we started down the hall, two more turns and we would be out of this place. Suddenly, the guards stopped coming, and the halls were clear.
"This can't be good, are there any other exits Raevyn?"
About as puzzled as my dad, i answered, "No, this is the fastest way out, and all the other exits are heavily guarded because they're public. I took this private way in." We turned right again, and we saw something that stopped us in our tracks. There were 5 people in front of us and in the way of the exit. In the center was obviously their supperior officer, a colonel. He had short platinum blond hair that kind of fell all over the place. In a way, he resmebled my father's friend Quatre, but his eyes were a ice cold light blue, and he was my original target.
"Well, well, if it isn't Raevyn Maxwell. You are very much like your father, Duo. Always getting into trouble."
"Bastard!" i yelled and pulled my gun out, "You're the one who set off the bombs didn't you! You're the one who took my family away from me!" my gun was pointed right at his head, yet he seemed not to care. I was shaking with anger, and my head wasn't exactly clear.
"Raevyn, keep your cool" my dad wispered, "notice how he has about four other people with him, you fire and we're both dead."
The colonel gave a little laugh, "Nice to see one of you is observant, now observe the fact that you are completely cut off, front and back."
I turned around and behind us was another regiment of soldiers with guns aimed right at us. Shit!
"What do you want with us!!" I ran right up to him and yelled in his face, "you turned our lives upside down for wh..."
I felt my breath suddenly leave me, and my stomach hurt like hell. I fell to my knees and lost conciousness.

"You must be faster Raevyn, if you expect to live through this!"
Professor G was giving me a hell of a time in my training. "remember your mission, it is crucial to the safety of everyone that you succeed, remember your mother and your father."
I was now filled in. What happened was a terrorist organization bombed our home to kill my father. He was the gundam pilot of Deathscythe years ago, and had a notorious reputation for being a formidible opponent to all those who threatened the peace that people worked so hard to live in today. And he happened to be working on a case against this particular group.
At the moment i was working on my own style of fighting. I was training with a martials arts master by the name of Chang Wufei, but i had to call him Sensei.
"Come on Raevyn, if your attacks are always this slow, you might as well be standing still." Punch after punch and kick after kick, i went after my Sensei, but every time he blocked it. What was i doing wrong?
Finally the training session was over for today, and i had to get my cast removed, it had been about 4 weeks since my parents were killed and i was getting training to avenge their deaths and work against the terrorist group that did it. After the cast was off, i went down the long hall to the showers. There i spent about half an hour showering.
Once i had gotten dressed and put my wet hair back into it's braid, (now much easier without my cast to hinder me) i started walking down the hall to the mess hall. I took this same route to eat every day, but today i stopped. On my left the wall was replaced with glass for a viewing deck. I stopped and looked at the stars, oh how i missed my father and mother. I made a wish on those stars right then, for my parents to be alive, just so i could be with them again.
"Are you sure we're doing the right thing?" From farther down the hall i heard sensei talking to someone. I moved closer, i wanted to know what this conversation was about.
"Yes i'm sure, its the only way she'll learn"
I decided to take a peek in. Sensei Chang was leaning on a desk with his arms crossed, and Professor G was sitting on a chair next to him.
"I know, but i don't feel right doing this to Duo's daughter, i feel as if i'm fighting with him when i fight and teach her. And i'm starting to grow fond of her"
"Just trust me, this is the right thing to do. Even if she doesn't want to, she needs to learn how to survive as the daughter of a former gundam pilot. People have and will be after her, and she needs to learn to defend herself. We can't protect her forever."
"It still doesn't feel right."
