AC 180
After the assassination of Heero Yuy, the Peacecraft Family knew they would be the next targets. So, two loyal people were asked to protect the family until the threat was over. Their names were Justin Maxwell and his wife Kate.
Four Years Later
Gunshots echoed down the road as Justin and Kate drove towards the Peacecraft Mansion. When they burst through the front doors, they found Mr. Peacecraft in the living room sadly looking out the window. "Mr. Peacecraft, we need to get outta here now. Your life is in danger!" Justin said. Right when he finished his sentence, the window in front of Mr. Peacecraft shattered as a grenade rolled onto the wooden floor.
"Quick, everybody out!" Kate screamed in horror. Before they got a chance to run, the bomb explodes, sending all of them flying to the hard floor.
"Sir...are you all right?" Justin questioned weakly as he slowly got up. Mr. Peacecraft laid there motionless as the blood slowly seeped through his shirt and onto the floor.
"Oh no." Kate exclaimed as she crawled by his side. She gently picked up his wrist and checks his pulse. "He's barely alive...I don't think he has a lot of time to live." She said faintly.
Mr. Peacecraft opened his eyes and weakly looked at both of them, "Please," he begged, "Save Milliardo...and Relina..get them out of here...safely." he whispered as he slowly faded away with every word. He took one more short breath and then let go of his life.
Justin looked up at his dear wife and said solemnly, "Let's go." His wife nodded as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
When they got downstairs, they found Relina, Ami, and Li sitting on the floor crying. The ceiling above them was quickly crashing down as the flames and smoke entered the room.
"We need to get outta here fast!" Kate said while she picked up four year old Relina and her daughter Ami into her arms.
Justin looked around the room in search for one of the children. "Where's Milliardo?"
"He ran outside." Li responded as he gazed up at his father with his cobalt eyes.
"Ok, he should be safe for right now." Justin said as he let Li scramble onto his shoulders. The adults ran out of the burning building, while trying to hold on to the children, and escaped to the backyard.
"What's our plan now?" Kate asked worriedly.
"We should take Relina to the Darlian's house. They are good friends with their family so they'll take care of her. That fine with you?" Justin suggests.
"Fine with me." Kate said.
"All right. You can take Ami and Relina to the Darlians, and drop Relina off. I'll take Li, go to L2 and we'll meet there."
"There they are! Let's get'em!" a voice yelled in the distance. Bullets suddenly flew in Justin and Kate's direction.
"Let's go!" Kate yelled while she dodged a bullet.
They immediately split up and went toward their destinations. Kate ran through the woods while, at the same time, tried to keep Relina and Ami in her arms. As she ran for her life, she constantly prayed aloud that she would make it out alive somehow. Meanwhile in the background, gunshots and shouting were heard not far behind her. Terrified, her three-year old daughter burst into tears. "Shhhhh...." Kate whispered soothingly, "It'll be all right. We'll be there soon." She finally reached the gate to the large house minutes later. Exhausted, she plops onto the grass and sets the girls down to rest. Dizzy, terrified, and out of breath, she looks back to see if they had caught up with her. "I think I lost them!" she said relieved. Suddenly, a bullet thrashed through her arm and cracked a bone. She screamed in pain as she tried to pick the girls up and run to the house. When she reached the front door, she put the girls down and placed her good hand over her injured arm. She tried to shred some of her shirt so she could bandage it but half of her shirt was covered in blood already. So instead, she started banging on the door. "Hello! Anyone home!" she yelled desperately.
Mrs. Darlian quickly opened the door, "Hello, Mrs. Maxwell. What are you doing here?" she gazed down at Kate's blood soaked shirt and eyed the wound on her arm. "Oh my...! What happened to you?"
"It's really a long story," Kate started off, "but what I need to tell you...is really important." She said while trying to catch her breath. "Mr. Peacecraft...has just passed away...I think it would be best if...you and your husband...took care of Relina." As soon as that sentence was completed, another bullet flew towards Kate and hit her leg. Mrs. Maxwell immediately collapsed onto the porch.
"Oh no! Mrs. Darlian screamed. She quickly rushed to the woman's side and tried to take her inside. "Come on girls, come inside." She told Ami and Relina.
"What's wrong dear?" Mr. Darlian asks. He looked down on the floor and saw Kate lying there unconscious. "Help me get her to the couch." He demanded as he picked the woman up. They both gently take her to a small couch and carefully lay her there. Mrs. Darlian rushed to the kitchen to get some wet cloths with little Relina wandering around behind her.
Ami walked over to where her dying mother was. "Is mommy ok?" she asked Mr. Darlian as tears welled up in her big brown eyes.
"I don't know." He said quietly. Not knowing what else to tell the small girl, he got up and walked silently away to help his wife in the kitchen.
Ami scooted closer to her mother and carefully moved some hair away from her sweaty face.
Kate opened her eyes weakly and faced her daughter. "Ami, I want you to be a good girl for the Darlians and make sure Relina is safe, promise?"
"I promise, mommy." She said as she tried to rub the tears off her cheek.
"Good girl...say goodbye to your big brother Li and daddy for me, ok?" she said weakly, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"Ok"
"Bye, Ami." She whispered with a little smile on her tattered face. Then with a soft sigh, she died with her daughter knelt beside her crying.
Meanwhile
Justin drove to the airport with Li nervously sitting beside him. When their car slid to a stop, another car screeched to a halt behind them. Four men ran out of the other car and started to sprint to the Maxwell's car. Justin kneeled in front of his son and stared at him strait in the eyes, "Li, promise me that whatever happens to me, you'' get on that shuttle over there, and go to L2. Ok?"
Li nodded his little head, "I will."
"Good, now come on, let's go." He said while he got up. They both started running towards the shuttle until a bullet hit Justin's leg. The sound of a bone snapping echoed as he collapsed to the cement.
"Daddy!" Li screamed as he rushed back to his wounded father.
Footsteps quickly rushed closer to them, "Stay right where you are, Maxwell!" a man yelled.
"Run, Li, you gotta get...AAHH!!!" he was quickly silenced when the but of a rifle was slammed into his back.
Horrified, Li immediately ran for the shuttle. Bullets whizzed passed him as the men try to stop him. As he reached the shuttle, he quickly crawled up into the shuttle's cargo area and hid. He stared out onto the ground as the shuttle takes off, and watches his father being dragged away to a car. Tears welled up in the little boy's eyes as he wonders if he'll ever see his daddy again.
