**The Original Age Part 9 - Locomotion

By Espion

Relena found herself being pulled to her feet.

'Wha… what happened?' said Relena groggily as she tried to focus on the person.

'You fell down the same hole we did. Leads all the way down here…' said Hilde, but then she stopped speaking as she turned and saw Doloria behind them.

'All the way down here?' muttered Relena, who hadn't seen the mobile suit yet, 'but we were all the way up there.' She waved vaguely in the direction they had come from.

'Relena,' said Hilde.

'How did we manage not to get hurt?'

'Relena!'

'And how did Ohki manage to fall with you, Suvius isn't here…'

'RELENA!!' yelled Hilde finally.

Relena looked around.

'I don't fucking well believe it,' she growled.

'The temporary shield barrier we put up around Gundam Omega has been breached,' said Quatre, looking up from the computer screen.

'Maybe it's the Peacecraft girl. We can catch her and find out exactly what happened,' said Wufei.

'How easy will that be?' asked Hayley.

Duo snorted.

'Hello, this is Relena we're talking about here. Not too taxing, I'd say.'

Kaia was standing looking out of the window. She didn't turn around as she said-

'It doesn't pay to underestimate your opponents, ever.'

Duo turned.

'You keep outta this, squirt.' Kaia snarled at him, and he backed away.

Hayley put her hand on Kaia's arm, and slowly towed her away from Duo.

Duo was left scratching his head in confusion as Hayley proceeded to tow Kaia out of the room.

*

She couldn't take it. Even with her training, the strain of living here was beginning to show. It was going to drive her mad.

Emma sat up slowly and glared at the person who'd made her life hell.

'I'll kill you,' she said calmly.

'What!' Tsudiko strode towards and grabbed her roughly. Emma's face twisted into a smile. This time she was ready. She'd been conserving her energy for just long enough.

'Help!!!' she yelled as loud as she could.

Tsudiko and his clients sniggered.

'That's it? Well, there ain't no one to help you here…' he stopped as the underground room began to shake.

'What!' he backed into the wall.

'You! You're doing this!' He yelled at her again, but this time there was fear mixed in with his anger. Emma stood up carefully.

'I will kill all of you,' she said in the same terrible calm voice.

The room shook more violently. It was almost as if some huge creature was trying to dig them out of the ground. Bits of ceiling plaster began to fall, and suddenly the left wall was speared by a huge spike about four feet long, two feet wide, and curved like a claw at the end.

Tsudiko screamed.

The huge barb withdrew, taking the wall with it. Emma sprang forward and grabbed onto the spike as it ascended. Tsudiko and his clients watched in horror as the spike was revealed to be attached to the head of an enormous mech standing over them all. Emma was on its head. They watched in amazement as Emma swung herself into the mech, and the eyes glowed a livid dark red. The four legged mech lifted its front leg and began to smooth over the earth it had just disturbed, its pilot ignoring the screams of the trapped men.

*

'Oh! Just look where we are!' yelled a very pissed off Relena, 'by this thing. AGAIN. If I didn't know better, I'd swear somebody wants me in their way all the time!'

'Relena, calm down,' said Hilde as calmly as she could, 'it was by accident that we ended up here, anyone would understand.'

'Let's get outta here. I need to find Suvius…' Relena turned to Doloria and yelled, 'What ever you want, I'm not gonna do it, understand?! Leave me alone!!' She turned away from it again.

'It's only a bit of metal Relena, it can't 'want', you know,' said Hilde as they began the long walk back to where they'd been before.

'I know that, but... what the hell?' Relena and Hilde spun around, and the last thing they saw was a huge thin mech lunging at them.

*

'What is it with the sprout? Why has she got that… thing?' Duo pondered as he and Trowa drove the now familiar route to the crash site. Trowa didn't answer, as he correctly assumed that Duo was talking to himself.

'It's a good thing that the Lords of Plague knew how to set up a cloaking shield around this valley,' Duo chattered on, 'otherwise, who knows… what the fuck? It's moved!'

*

'Relena?' cried Hilde, standing up. She hadn't been hit, but the sudden rush of air from the moving machine had blown her backwards.

She looked up at the mech and saw that it was now lying on its side, and on the side of its head, Relena was getting to her feet.

'How did you get up there?' yelled Hilde. Relena put her finger to her lips.

'Sh, someone'll hear. I don't know, but I'm getting down, like, right NOW!' She took one step, and then the hatch below her opened of its own accord, and she fell in.

Again, Gomen Nasai for the shortness, but I always write short chapters when exciting stuff is coming up. Also, I changed my mind about the pairings, and now there probably won't be any. I'm an Adventure/Action writer, and not a very good fluff writer.

I think I've answered all of DeathSi's Questions now…

If you wanna see something in particular happen in this fic, just review and tell me, I like reviews!!

Hey, what did you mean DarkVengeance, when you said it would be sick if I wasn't a girl? All my friends had a godd laugh about that, but…ohh *snifs*
