~*~*~ Gundam 07: Cosmic Darkness ~*~*~
By: Rage Barton
Original Idea: Zenbu Hotaru Megumi
Rage: Hiya folks. I'm tired. Yeah I know, 'Rage stop complaining' but I really am. You'd think the teachers would loosen up once your in eighth grade, being that you'll move to upper school next year and all. But no! They give you twice the homework as you got in seventh grade. Where is the justice in that? Espcially if you're in a team and playing against other teams? And I mean come on...(keeps going)
Jade: Um...she's in a bad mood and well, she's kinda pissed off.
::Watches Rage as she continues to babble::
Jade: I'll be doing this since she's under the weather. Well, this is chapter 10 of Gundam 07: Cosmic Darkness. And please enjoy. Keep in mind that Rage and I don't own Gundam or Sailor Moon.
Rage: SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I OWN EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOW TO ME MORTALS! BOW TO YOU'RE LEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jade: She's going Treize on me!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone, excluding Heero and Hotaru, was sitting in the den. Hotaru was in the training room, while Heero was in the garden. The two were avoiding each other like the plague since 6 o'clock that morning. It was already 3 in the afternoon, and no one had really seen neither of them. Setsuna and Milliardo had filled everyone in on the situation and they were all thinking. Duo frowned and stood up. The others braced for something that won't make any sense.
"It seems to me as if these two are in denial. They can't seem to admit that they do feel something for each other. And I suppose that Heero is willing to say something, but not willing to go out of his way. And well, Tenshi is still hurt over the fact that her friends betrayed her. And she doesn't wanna put her trust in Heero."
Duo sat down while everyone gapped at him. Duo had hit the situation on the dot. They watched as Duo smriked.
"Just because I'm an idiot doesn't mean I can't be hit with moments of insight!"
Everyone sweatdropped, Duo had just dissed himself and didn't realize it. Duo smiled and leaned back. Quatre took this chance to speak up.
"We need to get them together...somehow. Any ideas?"
Everyone looked around, but no one had any ideas at all. Suddenly, the glass door leading to the garden clicked. Everyone twisted around to see Heero walking in, his labtop in his right hand.
"We have a mission."
Everyone looked up and gapped. They hadn't been expecting a mission in a while. Trowa stood up.
"What is it Heero?"
"We have to destroy two rebel bases. So therefore we'll be split into two groups and attack the bases at the same time. Go get Hotaru and meet me in the hanger."
Heero spun around and marched towards the hanger. Duo blinked.
"Who's Hotaru?"
Trowa smirked.
"He means Tenshi."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero quickly flipped through the information that Dr. J had given him and felt himself frown. This was a dangerous mission, even with the eight Gundams. He had been informed a week ago that Setsuna also had a Gundam and would like to join them on missions. Lady Une had approved this and therefore everyone would be on this mission.
"HEY HEE-CHAN! WE'RE HERE!!!!"
Heero made a note to kill Duo later. He turned around in his chair and watched as all seven pilots headed towards him. He noted that Hotaru's hair was everywhere and that her hands were bleeeding.
'We both need some rest, but it can't come just yet.'
Heero told them to take a seat around the huge round table that was in the hanger. After everyone was seated, Heero pressed a red button and computer screens appeared from the table.
"Okay, there is a new organization called Hybrid. They claim that they are the master race, kind of like the Nazis several millenia ago. They have the advanced models of Leo's and Aires."
At this point two pictures came onto each screen. On the right was the advanced model of a Leo. It was now deep blood red with a head of dark green, a 10 feet long beam cannon and a round black shield with a 9 feet diameter. Near the shoulder was a full size beam saber. It was now more aerodiamically built and reduced its size by 1/10th. And the speed was increased by 10 mph.
On the left was a new Aires. It was no longer black, but dark blue with blood red eyes. It was built more like a Gundam, with long legs and arms, with a ten foot by five foot wide black jet black strapped to it's back. A 8 foot long black buster rifle in it's right hand with a round black shield attached to it's left forearm.
"They are both dolls, with a 8 to 10 percent accuracy in target range. So far there are an estamite of 500 Leos and only 200 Aireses. 100 Aireses and 250 Leos are at each base. There are two bases that the Preventers need us to take out. One is in Germany."
A map flashed onto the screen.
"This base is three miles from the outskirts of Belgium. IT's about 10 acres and about 300 soldiers. This,"
Another map flashed onto the screen.
"This is a base in Japan. It's about 10 miles from Hiroshima. The base is 15 acres and has about 450 soldiers. The mission will start in 12 hours, at 0300 hours. Alright, here are your assignments. Duo, Setsuna, Quatre, and Wuefi will take the base in Germany. Milliardo, Trowa, Tenshi and I will take the base in Japan. Figure out your stategies on your own, be ready to leave by 1200 hours. Dismissed."
Everyone talked amounst themselves while Heero walked out the room. The situation was worse than he explained. He didn't tell them the fact that a greater majority of the mobile suits were in the Japanese base. But he was sure that Trowa, Tenshi and Milliardo figured it out. Wufei and Setsuna might figured it out, but he was pretty sure that they wouldn't do anything about it.
___________________________
Duo watched as Heero walked out. Hotaru, Trowa and Milliardo were talking amounst themselves. They were probably trying to figure out a game plan. He had noticed that the teqams were not spread out equally in force. Milliardo and Heero were the heavy hitter of the Gundam boys' group. And what he's feeling from Tenshi, she was as capable as them. And Trowa was second only to Heero from the five of them. HE figured something was up, but hey, with such an awesome force, what can go wrong?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hotaru watched as Milliardo and Trowa took a seat across from her. The look in their eyes confirmed her thoughts. They were going for the dangerous mission. Heero had made it sound as if it was equal. But with the teams that were assigned, she figured out it was so much more. She knew for a fact that Milliardo and Heero were the best in the world, and Trowa was one of the best as well.
"Heero's going to tell us soon, I'm sure of it."
Tenshi looked at Trowa, who was sitting in a chair. But she couldn't help but notice the worry in his emerald eyes.
"It must be worse than we think. Heero wouldn't make such a rash looking choice in teams. HE knows strategy better than anyone else. We'll just wait a while to go find him."
"We can't wait too long. We need to know what's really going on."
Tenshi merely nodded as she stood up. She had to check on her bleeding hands before she does anything else.
Milliardo and Trowa watched as Tenshi walked out. They shook their heads as they leaned back into the chair.
"They're going around in circles."
Milliardo allowed a soft chuckle to escape his throat.
"The two are giving me some major migranes. We need to talk to the two of them. You get Heero, I'll get Tenshi."
"You give me the hard job?!"
"With Tenshi, it'll be equally hard."
"We'll do this after we talk to Heero about the mission then?"
Milliardo nodded while Trowa got up and walked out the room. He looked to the others, who were talking about their game plan. He caught Setsuna's questioning gaze which clearly asked, 'He's not telling the truth is he?' He nodded and got up. He needed some time to think before he thinks about the mission.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Everyone walked into the dining room. Heero was forced into cooking that night. They knew the Perfect Soldier could do many things, but cooking...they weren't so sure about that one.
Once they entered the dining room, they saw that the places had been set. A smell envaded the room and everyone started to drool. Everyone sat down and waited anxiously for the food to arrive. After a few agonizing minutes, Heero came out with a huge cart. But everything was covered and they drooled as he placed the them on the table. HE uncovered the first one.
"Lasana is served."
Once the seocnd lid was ifted, it revealled a hot plate of lo mein. The third bowl was a huge bowl of steaming wonton soup. The fourth was pasta with meat sauce. The fifth was a varity of sushi. And the six and last one, was a HUGE chicken.
Duo looked at Heero as stars floating in his eyes.
"YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Without saying another word, Duo jumped onto the chicken, literally. Everyone else ignored manners, even Setsuna, and dug into the hearty meal.
Heero sat down as he began to eat. He made this all for a reason. For it might be the last time he cooked for these guys.
After dinner was finished, Trowa, Milliardo and Tenhi volunteered to help Heero clean up. Afer a few minutes, everything was finished. Heero mentioned for everyone to follow him. He entered the library and everyone sat down.
"As you probably figured out, there's so much more. The base in Japan is 15 acres like I said, with 450 men. But there are 350 Leos at that base with 70 Aireses. And there are two discs in there that the Preventers need. And that's the central base for doll construction. Here's the game plan, I'll go in for the disks. Give me 20 minutes. If I don't get out at the end of the 20 minutes if I don't contact you, blow the damn base up. Is it clear?"
"HEERO THAT'S INSANE!!! THERE IS NO WAY THAT I'M BLOWING THE BASE UP WTH YOU INSIDE!!!"
"There is no other way it can be done Zechs. I want you to blow the base to smitherens regardless of whether or not i'm in it."
Trowa and Milliardo sighed in defeat and stood up.Tewnshi was about to walk out.
"Tenshi wait."
Hotaru turned around. Her eyes softened ever so slightly when she saw the desperation and pain in Heero's eyes.
"Hotaru, I need you to blow the base up without doubt. Tenshi, I need you to do anything, because Trowa and Milliardo won't do it."
Hotaru didn't know what to do. Heero was asking hre to kill him if need be. Hotaru couldn't do it... but Tenshi...she could.
"Fine."
Heero watched as Tenshi walked out. He shopok his head. IF this is the way that things would turn out in the future, he might as well die.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Those two are giving me the worse migrane that I've had in about 5000 years Setsuna."
"I'm getting the worse migrane in 200 years, the last time this happened was when people on earth exclaimed for the first colony launched into space. The noise was really bad."
Queen Selentity heard herself giggle despite herself. Pluto could always make her giggle.
"They are making me crazy. I mean, one minute it's I love you, then it's I hate you, and then it's I'll kill you. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Setsuna nodded as the Queen looked at her.
"We have to speed up the process, they have to remember soon!"
"You know it doesn't work that way. If you pile everything on them at once, it'll take too much of a strain."
"I know, but these two are killing me."
Setuna nodded and Selenity glared at her.
" I don't see how you can be so calm!"
"I've been doing my job for the past 6000 years, I know when not to interfere, and when to do it. Although it seems hopeless at this point, everything will end up as it should be."
"I hope you're right."
"I should get going, I must prepare for the mission."
"Good luck, and please be careful. There is a sour feeling in the air."
"I know."
With that the Time Keeper disappeared in a flash of bright light.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Everyone were checking up on their Gundams. That night, Setsuna's Gundam had been delivered. Milliardo and the others, except Heero and Tenshi, were shocked by it. It looked like Tallgeese III. But it had the head shaped like Wing Zero. It was deep green in color and was armed with a staff that resembled Pluto's staff. The eyes were a light blue as rocket launchers and machine guns were attached to it's legs, in it's chest, and on it's forearms.
Milliardo wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel. All the Gundams were in it's Custom forms, Setsuna's was amazing, but there were two Gundam that were breath taking. That would be Gundams Wing Zerp Custom, and Cosmic Darkness. Wing Zero Custom II had it's angel wings, which were now silver. IT's chest had reverted to that of Wing Zero, with a now black jewel in it's chest. The forearms were decortated with black ghost fames. It was still equiped with the buster rifle, two beam sabers, and 2 sets of rocket launchers and 3 sets of machine guns.
Cosmic Darkness was just as beautiful. It was three feet shorter than Wing Zero, with black angel wings that were 6 feet less than Zero's in wingspan. The wings were ouytlinged with silver. It had a purple head, with blood red eyes. The chest was black with dark purple outlining the chest and the dark blue jewel in the middle of it's chest. Purple ghost flames ate at the Gundam's lower leg and forearms. A huge glaive was in it's right hand as a hidden beam saber was placed at the left shoulder by Heero. Most of it's legs were covered with hidden rocket launchers.
"Damn those two Gundam will probably blow up the Earth with all their powers."
Milliardo heard everyone agree with Duo. He looked over to the two Gundams and watched as their owners busied themselves will putting finishing touches on their machines. HE checked his watch and saw the it was about 11:45. They would be heading out soon.
"Alright everyone, to the conference table!"
Everyone scrambled down there and intio a seat. They noticed that Tenshi and Heero were not there yet. Suddenly there was a noise behind them and they all turned around. They couldn't help but let their jaws drop to the floor. Tenshi was wearing tight black leather pants which flared that showed off her slim waist and beautifully curved legs, and a TIGHT black spaghetti strap tank top. A small and tight leather jacket gave her cover... or lack of it. The guys felt themselves drool, but stopped when they saw the cold look in her eyes which made them shiver.
Heero was just as... deadly. He was wearing black Tim boots, baggy black parachutes, a black muscle shirt, and a black leather jacket. Everything he was wearing showed off his long legs, muscular amrs, as well as tight and well chiselled abs and chest.
Everyone was thinking the same thing, they looked deadly, secretive, dangerous, unstoppable, and perfect together.
"Alright you gyus, i turst that you have something planned?"
Everyone nodded.
"We have about 10 mintes left. Everything has been checked, and just relax and talk for a while. I'll tell you when there is 5 minutes left and when we have to blast off."
Heero walked away, and Tenshi walked away as well. Everyone huddled. Duo whistled.
"Damn those two look like Death angels. I'm seriously thinking that I should step down as God of Death and allow Heero to take over. The new God and Goddess of Death, those two certainly fit the description!"
Everyone nodded. Trowa turned to look at the two.
"They have communication problems. I mean MAJOR communication problems. They can't seem to talk to each other, just to see how the other feels and such. We need to get the two together."
Everyone was shocked by jhow much Trowa spoke and that he made sense about romance. Quatre smiled.
"We'll get a chance after the mission."
"WE have to go!"
Everyone quickly hurried to their Gundam. As Setsuna reached the foot of her Gundam, Gundam Time Freeze, she watched as Heero send a glance at Hotaru, who was about to enter her Gundam before getting in. She also saw Hotaru look at Wing Zero for a few seconds, before jumping in as well.
She was the only one that knew that they would get a chance to talk to Hotaru, but as for Heero, she wasn't so sure. The future is always uncertain, and a dark cloud was passing over Heero ad Hotaru as they both launched into the air. Setsuna could only follow them, and pray that the gods looked down kindly on the two star crossed lovers.
Rage: I'm sorry about before. I was having a nervous break down. Too much work and stuff. Anyways, I won't get a chapter out in a while. This week is really hectic.
