Gundam Wing
Falling Raindrops
Chapter 4
Kana woke up on a bench, rubbing her eyes.
"Where am I?" she said to herself.
She was in a colony, of which she didn't know. There seemed to be no one around. Actually, the whole colony looked deserted. Not one sound was made by her surroundings.
She stood up, and started walking, in no particular direction, looking around. She hadn't noticed that her scrunchie fell off.
"Hello? Is anybody here?"
Elsewhere, up in the control tower, her captors where watching her every move.
"I see our little princess has woken up," said a tall, dark man. It seems this is the man who ordered her kidnapping.
"Should we just let her roam like that?" said another large man, the one who took Kana.
"Yes, for now. We'll just let her walk around, hopelessly lost. When he arrives looking for her, we'll be ready."
"Understood."
~*~*~*~
A few hours later, Trowa and the others arrived on a shuttle headed for the colony.
"Okay, let's split up and look for her," Quatre said, "You all know the blueprint to the colony, correct?"
They all nodded.
"Good. Me and Heero will take different routes to the control tower to get a hold of the security system. Duo and Wufei, you two keep an eye on Trowa while distancing yourselves away from him."
"Right," they both said in unison.
"Trowa, just try and look for her. You have the disk, right?"
Trowa held up a small disk. "Got it."
"Okay, let's go."
They walked off in several different directions. Trowa's, straight into the colony's residential area.
As we sauntered though the empty streets, looking for Kana, he wondered why it was so deserted.
"There should be at least a few people on this colony. Unless."
~*~*~*~
Duo looked around, stunned.
"I know this colony looks familiar, but how?"
Then, right before him, stood the remains of an old church, its rubble looking about ten years old.
"Maxwell.church."
His old home, all the memories of Father Maxwell and Sister Helen, came pouring out of him. He couldn't contain his sorrow.
He fell to his knees and cried, remembering their kindness, and how they died.
"How could they use this colony, after all these years?" he thought, "Why do they only use this place to cause pain?"
He stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"And now they're using this place to cause pain for Trowa and Kana. They're going to pay."
~*~*~*~
Trowa walked though an empty park, the trees and grass still growing green, though there were no other people to enjoy it. He looked around, still no Kana in sight. He walked by a bench, and noticed something blue on the ground. He picked it up and gasped.
"Kana's scrunchie."
She was wearing it when he was talking to her back at the tent, and when she was taken away. Now Trowa was sure that she was here, and that he had to find her before any harm came to her.
Unknown to him, her captors were watching him from the control tower.
"He's here, sir."
"Good," the tall man said, "I will be going down there to meet him. You stay here and keep watch."
"Yes sir."
The man left and walked down the spiral steps, which wrapped around the tower. The other man watched Trowa's movement carefully, and Kana's as well.
~*~*~*~
Kana came to what seemed like a town square. A fountain with little seraphims holding vases poured water from them. She stared at it, since it was the only thing in the colony that seemed to move.
"Enjoying yourself?"
She turned around and saw the tall man standing in front of her.
"Who.who are you?"
"My name is Trase Sintel. I'm the one who brought you here." He bowed politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Why did you bring me here?"
"You'll see, soon enough."
He punched her in the stomach, causing her to faint.
"You're the bait, and that pilot is the prey."
A static noise came from inside his pocket.
He pulled out a walkie talkie and pressed the button on the side.
"What is it?"
"Sir, the pilot is approaching. Should we get him?"
"Not yet. Let me deal with him first."
"Roger, sir."
~*~*~*~
Wufei walked along, about a few hundred meters from where Trowa was.
"Nothing seems to be going on at the moment."
Suddenly, rustling came out from the bushes beside him.
He pulled out his gun and shouted, "Who's there?"
A man in a peculiar uniform walked out, a machine-gun by his side.
"Who are you, boy?"
"Why should I tell you?" he said with a smirk.
"You arrogant little-" before the man could finish, Wufei ran behind him and kicked him in the head. He fell down, unconscious.
"That takes care of one guard. I wonder how Quatre and Heero are doing."
~*~*~*~
Quatre stood at the top of one of the smaller buildings, eyeing through his binoculars.
"Well, there's the control tower." He saw a tall, gray tower with a box- shaped control room at the top.
He put them away and jumped off the roof. He landed in an alley and ran in the direction of the tower. Heero, who saw the tower as well, followed suit.
~*~*~*~
Trowa strolled through a town near the park, looking around.
"Empty.everything's empty."
The stores, restaurants, and homes he passed by, had looked like they were abandoned a while ago, though he couldn't understand why.
Without thinking, he walked straight to the town square, where Sintel was waiting for him, along with an unconscious Kana.
"Welcome, Trowa Barton."
He looked up and saw Sintel standing there, with Kana at his feet.
"Kana! Who are you and what did you do to her?"
"My name is Sintel, but you needn't worry about that. As for this girl," he picked her up by her hair, causing her to wince in pain, "You shouldn't worry about her either, as long as you have the disk."
He held out his other hand to him.
"Now give it to me."
Trowa took out the disk, and held it out. Sintel quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he threw Kana, by her hair, at Trowa's feet.
"Kana!" Trowa bent down and raised her head. She winced and opened her eyes.
"Trowa?"
"Come on, let's get out of here."
"Not so fast."
They both looked his way and saw him, smiling evilly.
"Both of you aren't going anywhere."
Sintel snapped his fingers and guards hiding everywhere surrounded them. They separated Kana and Trowa forcefully.
"Trowa!" Kana reached out her hand.
Trowa was beaten to the ground and pinned. He looked up at Sintel, blood streaming from his mouth.
"You're not as tough as I thought, Gundam pilot."
"Gundam pilot?" Kana thought.
Trowa smiled. "And you're as dumb as I thought."
"What?!"
One of the guards pointed a gun to the back of Trowa's head, pushing against it.
"How dare you insult me when you are obviously the one who's going to die."
Kana struggled to get free of the men holding her back. She didn't care what happened to her, as long as Trowa was safe.
~*~*~*~
Quatre and Heero met at the foot of the spiral stairs at the bottom of the tower. They carefully made their way up, making sure not to set off an alarm.
Quatre peaked into the room, see that there was only one guard there.
"Let me go in first," Heero said. He walked past Quatre and kneeled in front of the door.
Then, he kicked open the door and pointed his gun straight at the guard.
"Freeze!"
The guard held up his machine gun and started firing, the shots going through and breaking the glass windows.
Quatre covered his head from being cut by the glass. Heero jumped and kicked the guard in the head. That knocked him out. They both tied the guard up and started looking through the colony's database.
"The information on who's behind this should be here, found it!"
A small window popped up and showed Sintel's face and information.
"Trase Sintel, age 38, a former commander for the White Fang?"
"Well that explains why he wants Trowa's Gundam data," Heero said, "And look at this."
Heero pointed at the window monitoring Trowa, Kana, and the guards, as well as Sintel.
"He's been watching their every move."
A ball of tension formed in Quatre's chest.
"I hope Duo and Wufei get there soon."
~*~*~*~
Back at the town square, Sintel's guards were beating up Trowa even more.
All he did was laugh.
"Trowa, you're so much weaker than I thought. I thought a Gundam pilot such as yourself who took down the White Fang would be able to break free of these guards, but you're nothing but a mere boy."
Kana writhed and struggled to break free from the guards' hold.
"Sintel, stop this! Let him go!"
He looked toward her, and so did Trowa, whose face and body were battered, bruised, and bleeding.
"Kana."
"I don't care what you do to me, but don't hurt Trowa anymore!"
Tears were streaming down her face as she said those words.
Sintel smiled and walked towards her. He held up her face gently and said softly, "I don't need you anymore."
Her eyes widened as he took out a gun hidden in his pocket.
He pointed it at her face as Trowa watched in horror.
"Kana!!!"
Seconds seemed to pass like hours as Sintel slowly pulled the trigger.
Suddenly, a shot fired and hit him in the arm, causing his aim to be off. The bullet he fired hit Kana in the shoulder.
The guards backed away at the sudden fire, leaving Kana kneeling down n the ground, blood streaming from her shoulder as she gripped it.
Duo and Wufei jumped out of the bushes and started fighting the guards. Trowa also fought back, punching the ones who were holding him.
He ran to Kana, and kneeled down to her.
"Kana, are you all right?"
She looked at him, struggling to smile.
"T.Trowa. I'm a.all right."
"You idiot."
He hugged her as tightly as he could. She cringed at the pain from her shoulder.
Swiftly, he turned and pointed a gun at Sintel, who was pointing one at him.
"You all will pay for this."
"I don't think so," Duo said, kicking one of the guards in the side. Both he and Wufei pointed their guns at him. It was three against one.
"Our friends have already taken out the guard in the control tower. It's over for you, Sintel," said Wufei confidently.
"You forget, I have the disk."
"That's not it," Trowa said, standing up. "That thing doesn't have any of my Gundam data. All of it was lost when I destroyed it."
"You."
"The Preventers are in their way to arrest you and your men," Wufei said, holding up a Preventer communicator.
"Not if I can help it." He held up his gun to his head, and pulled the trigger.
Kana looked away as the shot went right through his head, splattering blood all over the ground.
"What a weak fool."
~*~*~*~
About an hour later, a Preventer crew came to arrest the rest of the men and take Sintel's body away. The rest of the Gundam pilots were on their shuttle home.
Trowa had bandaged up Kana's shoulder, and wiped her tears away.
"I'm sorry about all of this, Kana."
"It's all right, just as long as you were safe."
The rest of the pilots were in the front of the shuttle, trying not to listen to their conversation, well, most of them anyway.
"Awww, come on! Let me listen to them!"
"No Duo," said Quatre, "Leave them alone. They've both been through a lot."
The pilots calmly closed the door behind them, leaving Trowa and Kana alone to talk.
"Trowa, I have something to tell you."
"Hm?" Trowa looked up and into Kana's tear-filled eyes.
"What is it?"
"I.I should have told you this before, but, I don't know why. I just couldn't. Trowa."
She smiled and gently placed her hand on his cheek.
"I love you."
Trowa smiled and moved towards her, capturing her lips with his. All of their feelings for each other came rushing out as they kissed. She had finally told him, and he finally had her.
