~*~*~ Gundam 07: Cosmic Darkness ~*~*~

By: Rage Barton

Original Idea by: Zenbu Hotaru Megumi

Okay, I'm tired so, I don't own Gundam. And i'm only keeping up with the original idea thing until chapter 15, ten chapters from where i started. I kept doing this to show my respect to Zenbu Hotaru Megumi. And thanks to those who've reviewed. Chao!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duo looked around as he frowned. Heero had said that there were around 250 advanced Leos and 50 advanced Aireses. But unless his radar was broken, he only counted 180 mobile suts. Not that he was complaining, it was hard.

Duo noted the progress of the others as he sliced his thermal scythe through a Leo. Setsuna had been one of active in battle. She was the first one to charge into battle when she shot down two Aireses with her machine guns. Wufei was currently battling two Leos and an Aires. Quatre was fighting off two Leos and wasn't doing so great. Setsuna had finsihed off her 30th Leo as she attacked her 10th Aires.

"Heero is a no good lousy lier. He said the base would be equally divided, but if we only have 30 Aireses and 150 Leos, that means they have 250 Leos as well as 70 Aireses! Are they crazy?! We've been battling for about 45 minutes, and we still have about 40 Leos and 10 Aireses left. These guys are too hard to destroy!"

Duo jerked as a Leo slammed into him. His left arm was now slightly damaged but Duo managed to take the Leo out.

"""""""""""""""

Setsuna watched as Duo took out another Leo, but not before taking damage. The way this battle was going, she feared for the others. The new dolls were beyond the abilities of the old ones. Although the others had a great team, they could not stand long against this kind of beating. The dolls were agile and accurate. Setsuna shook her head, there was no way that they were going to come out of this unharmed.

Hotaru jerked toward as she was hit from behind. She raised her glaive and sliced through two Leos. Although these suits were not up to any of their levels, they were fast and very accurate. Cosmic Darkness flew into the air and fired her buster rifle at a patch of dolls. Many of them escaped but one third was destroyed. She quickly calculated the numbers left and discovered that there were 200 Leos and 50 Aireses. They had arrived later than scheduled and attacked the base fifteen minutes behind the others. The base had been ready for them and most of the dolls had been activated. They've been fighting for about half an hour and many suits had been destroyed.

Heero and Hotaru had been the far most active. In the first five minutes, Heero had taken down five Leos and an Aires while Tenshi finsihed off ten Leos and three Aireses. Tenshi was proving herself as the Goddess of Death and Destruction while Heero was proving that he could keep up with her.

"Destruction, Wind and Silence, I'm going in. Give me cover...I'm going in in 60 seconds starting...NOW!"

Everyone watched as Hereo's cockpit opened and he ran for the base. Wing Zero Custom was given autopilot, in a way like dolls, except they based the fighting on the pilots' abilities and normal moves.

Tenshi fired her buster rifle at one group of dolls, clearing a way to the right of Heero. Trowa fired most of his chest missiles at the left side of the base. The control room was on the right side and so he was keeping the dolls buusy. Milliardo tok this chance blow up the northern hanger. Under the attacks, the dolls moved away from Wing Zero Custom and the right side of the base and attacked the three Gundams.

Heero smiled once he saw the others attacking and covering him. He snuck into the abse and looked around. He was suppose to go right, then left, and then right and so on. He pushing himself into the shadows as he heard two guards passing by. He killed them with his gun and continued to run down the corridor. In about ten minutes he reached the control room. There were six guards outside the door and six on the inside.

Heero dug into his pocket and pulled out a small round silver object. Throwing it at the group of guards, he smirked and covered his ears. A few seconds later shrieking screams pierced the air followed by an explosion. Heero walked out from the corner and looked at the blood and mangled bodies that littered the floor and then at the huge hole in the gray foot thick metal door. He stepped through the hole as he watched the technicians and the guards holding their wounds and staring at him in fear.

He's eyes flashed once he saw a guard holding the stump of his left arm and crying in pain. 'Might as well put him out of his mesery.'

Heero held up his gun and aimed it at the guard's head.

"PLEASE! I have a wife and two kids! Please I beg of you!"

Heero shut his eyes for a second as emotions floated through them. He opened his eyes and they turned blank. He shook his head and fired.

The rest coward in fear. Heero closed his eyes again, a voice rang out in his head.

"No one that sees the true side of the Gundam can live."

Opening his eyes, he shot the technician closest to him. Then the guard accross the room. Then the two guards to his left, the guard behind the door, and the guard cowering behind the computer. He looked at the scientist to his left.

"Find the file labelled XP3-GP-THMegumi/Docs/Files/NUBY."

The engineer nodded fiercely and quickly searched through the files.

"He-here it is! PLEASE Don't SHOT!"

Heero smirked.

"Like I said, no one that sees the true side of the Gundam shall live."

A shot broke through the still air as Heero pushed the the corpse off the chair. He quickly scanned the files and smirked when he hit the jackpot. The watched beeped.

"Shit only 7 minutes left."

Heero put in a disk and quickly downloaded the disk. There were a few codes and it took about a minute to break through and two minutes to download.

Heero bolted down the corridor as guards raced through the halls. Shooting down two guards, he jumped over the bodies and took a quickly left turn. He stopped as he came to a wall of soldires. As he turned the corner, two shots got him in the back.

"1 minute, that's all I have. And the entrance is about 100 feet away."

Quickly throughing a another object. He closed his eyes and ran as smoke killed the corridor. He felt one bullet hit him in the arm, and another shot in his right thigh. Less than 20 feet away, he heard a small beep through the fired shots and chaos.

"Oh shit."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Tenshi sliced through another two Leos as Milliardo fired his remaining missiles. There were about 120 Leos and 25 Aireses. Tenshi knew that even if they destroy the base, although most would stop, some of the dolls would keep on going since the control center was a satellite in space.

A beeping caught her attention and from the corner of her eyes she saw that the timer was flashing 0:15. She opened a channel to Trowa and Milliardo.

0:14...

"His time's up."

0:12...

"A few more seconds Tenshi."

0:10...

"No, time's up."

0:08...

Cosmic Darkness raised its buster rifle.

0:07...

Tenshi closed her eyes.

0:06...

'Are you out?'

0:05...

She shook her head.

0:04...

'Please be alright.'

0:03...

'I'm not suppose to care.'

0:02...

She opened her eyes and you can see that they were shining with tears that refused to fall.

0:01...

"I'm sorry..."

Tenshi pressed the trigger. The blinding yellow and hot white beam tore through the air and hitting the ceiling of the base. The beam paused for only a second before it continued through the metal ceiling. It sent a hole straight through to the second basement, then all was silent. Tenshi watched as she positioned herself directly over the hole made by her deadly weapon.

A hot white fire came speeding up the hole before it's boiling heat and deadly fingers erupted from hole. A great fireball swallowed the central portion of the base as its fingers licked the surrounding area. Hotaru shut her eyes as Cosmic Darkness turned away from the destructive yet beautiful sight. She heard something else beep in the cockpit. It seemed that twenty Leos survived since their control was in space.

A violet fire was released from her eyes as she screamed. Cosmic Darkness flew towards the dolls. There might be twenty, but they won't be there for long.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Trowa and Milliardo quickly set down, knowing that Tenshi would destroy the remaining suits, and knowing her rage, they wouldn't last at all. Jumping down from the cockpit, they quickly ran to where the east gate once was. All they saw was a raging fire that was consuming the rubble that was once that great base. They looked around, flipping over ragged metal and any other rubble. After about ten minutes they were fustrated beyond description.

"There's a heat source about ten feet from here."

Trowa and Milliardo turned around to see a ragged Tenshi. A few bruises and cuts littered her face as well as a blood stain on her stomach.

"Everything's fire, how how you know?"

"I can feel it."

"but how are you sure?"

Tenshi started to walk to the place where she had said Heero was. As she reached Trowa, she paused for a second before looking at him from the corner of her eye. She face softened slightly and she whispered.

"I just do..."

She walked over, Milliardo and Trowa noticed the change in her posture. She looked as if she was tired, like she had all she could take for one day. Which would be understandable.

She kneeled in front of a huge pile as she reached for the metal on top. The sharp, jagged metal cut through her skin as blood ran down her pale hand. Her eyes started to glow an erie violet, and soon her body glowed as well.

Trowa and Milliardo could only gasp as they stepped back.

Hotaru's body continued to glow until a column of light engulfed her. Trowa and Milliardo gasped as the whole pile of metal flew into the air. On the bottom was Heero, laying on his stomach, with his left hand gently covering his face. Hotaru removed the hand and gently stroked his face, before collapsing on top of him.

The raging fire continued to reach for the dark night sky. A shooting star flashed across the sky as the two soldiers prayed that their comrades were okay. The other two were enjoying what little peace they would have, in a chaotic world.

WHY DID THAT SOUND LIKE THE END?!?!? I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T GO AWAY! THERE IS ALOT MORE!

I really liked a little peace and being... I don't know. It's just my style. As my friend, Jade Yuy Maxwell like to call it, the calm before the storm. Please review, and believe me, there is A LOT more of the story. Like they say, "This is just, the beginning..."

Jade: It's the beginning of the end!

Rage: No! It's the end of the beginning!

Jade: Beginning of the end! Not the end of the beginning!

Rage: No! IT's the end of the beginning! And the beginning of the middle!

Jade: Oh heck with it! People just review and do my hw!
