Illusion or Reality-Chapter seven

"Where the hell is everybody!" Relena screamed frustrated, as she ran down a hallway at L3. Ironic isn¡¦t it? She thought bitterly, when I want everyone to stay away and leave me alone, they have to be there. Now when I am in desperate need of help, they disappeared, leaving me alone. Thinking that a large metal bar almost landed on top of her is not even funny.

A strange noise on Relena¡¦s left stopped her from complaining or moving. She frowned when she saw a trail of blood going down the hall. The strange sound was blood dripping downward to the next level. Although she wasn¡¦t really concentrated in looking at the map, she remembered that there were at least twenty levels in this place. It¡¦s reminded me the blood trail, which got me into this mess in the first place. Recalling the trail which had leaded her to Cloverville. This time, she knew better. She¡¦s not going to follow some stupid blood-trail that¡¦s going to lead her into a major trouble. But what if there were other survivors? Her conscience asked in her mind; maybe there were some people that made it out of there alive and they were hurt? They¡¦ll die if I just leave them there. Relena argued; what if it¡¦s a trap? Her conscience replied; Saving people is your job, that¡¦s why you became the Vice-Foreign Minister in the first place wasn¡¦t it? Relena answered; yes but¡Kwhy am I talking to myself.

Relena shook her head and started to follow the trail¡K..

*****************************

Midii and Meiran ran into the elevator, carrying Billy with them. Once they got in, the door was quickly shut, almost instantly the elevator started to ascend.

"I wonder where they are trying to take us." Meiran said, looking around the elevator. The elevator was made of steel that was beginning to rust. There¡¦s no other exit except the entrance.

"Billy are you ok?" Midii asked, studying him. He was looking strangely at her for quite a long time.

Billy shook his head and smiled, "I am fine, don¡¦t worry. I was¡K¡K.."

Billy stopped in the middle of his sentence, as the elevator jerked to a stop and opened the door. Revealing a metal hallway as usual, all they saw was Relena running toward them from a distance. There were Osteosis chasing after her. Midii looked on her left and right, making sure that she found more than one escape route. There was a hallway on her left, another one on her right; leading to an unfamiliar place.

"Use your gun stupid!!" Meiran yelled at Relena as she and Midii got out of the elevator together. They ran toward Relena, blasting the heads of those monsters with their guns. As they slowly back toward the elevator, Billy somehow manages to get up, smiling bitterly at them as the door closes.

"Billy don¡¦t you dare!!" Midii roared through the hall, for she knew what Billy was about to do.

Too late.

*********************************

"WEAKLING!" Duo yelled at the television screen, "INJUSTICE!!"

"Calm down Duo," Trowa said, leaning against the wall with his back. "Yelling at the monitor isn¡¦t going to solve the problem."

"Calm down!" Duo screamed, clinching his hands into fists in anger. "How am I suppose to calm down when my best friend Relena is running for her life! And I can¡¦t do a damn thing about it!?"

"Duo," Quatre explained, "we are just as angry and frustrated as you are, but causing more commotion isn¡¦t going to¡K."

His words were interrupted by Heero¡¦s groans. Heero had been lying on the top bunk of the bed every since they came in. "Duo shut up before I have to make you." He said in his usually cold voice.

Duo shook his head and ignored Heero¡¦s comment, "if you are not going to help me find Relena, then stay out of my way." He walked toward the hard, thick metal door and put his left ear against it, listening for any sound.

"What are you doing?" Hilde asked, watching the serious Duo concentrating.

"I am taking a walk outside." Duo whispered, instead of trying to knock down the door like everyone though he would. He ordered Trowa to lift one the bunk bed to toward the door. "That would slow them down from coming in."

At the same time, Heero who was ¡¥sleeping¡¦ had been planning an escape plan ever since they came into the room. He came up with several ways of escaping with the others, but getting Relena out is quite an issue since he didn¡¦t know where Relena is located anymore. Anyone with a brain would¡¦ve move her to some place else.

"Great Duo," Hilde said, crossing her arms. "But how are we suppose to get out?"

Duo rolled his eyes, "Hilde, I am an expert in this and I got a plan that can get us all out of here. Before that Misalead guy even finds out¡K."

Duo was interrupted by the opening sound of the door.

"Can you let me in." someone whispered harshly, "I need you to help me to save Relena Peacecraft and Midii Une."

*****************************

"Look!" Relena pointed in front as she ran, "the hallway is blocked!"

Meiran stared, in front of her about ten feet away. A big, thick metal gate stood in between. Decoding the password to open the gate would take forever. Osteosis were following close behind. Midii lead them to the right, going onto a metal bridge. They quickly stopped.

The bridge had ended.

In about ten feets, some sort of an explosion had occurred and the bridge blown into twohalves. There was a big hole in between, jumping across would simply means suicide.

Meiran looked around and said, "I am going back to find another exit."

Knowing that Midii would object, she headed back before Midii could open her mouth. If there¡¦s no other exit, I¡¦ll just use those explosives to blow our way out.

Relena looked at the opening in front of her. The hole is too big to jump across. Looking down into it, you could only see darkness. There were thick, broken, plastic black wires which were once used for conducting electricity. They were hanging down at the side of the hole. She couldn't tell if there was still electricity in those.

"I am going down." Relena said with determination. Before Midii could object, she slowly climbed down into the hole, hanging onto the wire.

"What are you doing?!" Midii demanded, showing only some hints of concern. "Are you crazy!? We don't even know is there still electricity flowing in those!"

Relena ignored Midii and slowly hook her legs around the wire and climbed down. She gasped as sparkles flew off. Relena quickly let go for her natural instinct kicked in. She fell all the way down, into the darkness¡K

Into the unknown.

"Relena!!" Midii shouted, hoping somehow that she would answer. She shook her head in frustration, how come no body listens to me nowadays.

¡¥Splash¡¦

*****************************

Meiran on the other hand was busying planting dynamites onto the gate. When she finished, she wiped the sweat off her face. This would blow the gate into pieces with not problem at all. She thought with a hint of satisfaction. Suddenly she heard Midii yelled, "Meiran come on! Relena had just found a way out!"

"Coming!" Meiran yelled with disappointment, she shook her head and continued to connect the dynamite with the remote control. When the bomb explodes, it would cause some of the Osteosis t be killed. If not, it would at least be able to slow them down for awhile.

Meiran ran toward the bridge. As soon as Midii saw her, she gave Meiran a wave and jumped off the bridge. Meiran took a deep breath and ran faster, she stopped in front of the hole and was about to jump when she felt a jerk. Looking down, an Osteosis pierced through her chest with its razor sharp arm.

The pain in her chest overwhelmed Meiran. Although she survived through pains, this was the worst. It was like a thousand needles jamming into her chest at the same time¡K

Is this the end? Meiran asked herself, knowing that she won¡¦t get any reply. I am sorry to disappoint you Midii... Relena. I let you down¡KShe shook her head sadly and regretfully, blood was coming out at the side of her mouth. She was a warrior, a strong warrior. Warriors aren¡¦t suppose to make mistakes, especially her. Meiran sighed as she closed her eyes, feeling the burning sensation in her chest. She squeezed the detonator in her hand¡K

The natural selection only chooses the best out of a whole species, she isn¡¦t one of them.
