Pt. 7
*~* A/N: I slightly redesigned God Gundam to give Wufei something to do. Oh yeah and God Gundam is Burning Gundam on Cartoon Network due to the fact that CN is not allowed to use any type of religious symbol, which is why they call Duo 'The Great Destroyer' rather than Shinigami or 'God of Death'. (just in case you didn't know) *~*
I watched as Domon flew the Gundam. I was amazed that a Gundam could be controlled by the pilot moving, but then it only made sense since there wasn't a seat or any of the controls I would use. I shifted and for a second didn't feel the pain of my bruised ribs, which made me realize I couldn't feel some of my injuries anymore.
"Domon, I'm confused, why can't I feel some of my wounds anymore?"
"That suit should be supporting your broken ribs." Domon told me, and went back to concentrating on where he was going.
I went back to watching the stars, their beauty simply amazed me. Like the others, my friends, I had hardly ever stopped to look up at the stars (granted Duo tended to go on about the moon sometimes). Living on a colony the stars had surrounded me and I had never given them a second glance. Yet, in this Gundam I simply sat and watched them, mesmerized by their magnificence. Maybe it had something to do with almost dying, or the fact that I (yes I) had given up all hope of ever escaping the OZ base.
So I simply stared at the stars, completely ignoring the fact that I was not the one in control of the Gundam I was riding it. Normally I would hate to be in something such as a Gundam if I was not in control of it. Yet for some reason the fact that Domon was flying not I didn't bother me. I pried my eyes away from the stars for a few minutes and simply watched Domon fly. He seemed at ease, his Gundam followed everything he did. I flashed back to the screen in the docking bay, when he had punched the wall. His fist had connected with an electric version of the wall, just as the Gundam had punched the wall.
"Why did you save me?" I asked, breaking the silence of the Gundam's cockpit.
Domon glanced at me and meant my eyes before answering.
"Because I had to."
That caused me to pause, something dawning on me. Perhaps if I had not broken out of my cell I would still be there, not here going to what I hoped was my freedom. I could have still been there having my body and mind tortured everyday for the simple fact that I wouldn't give up my friends, or the people that supported us.
Domon saw my look and cleared his throat to get my attention.
"Look kid, you wanted the reason and that's it, I'm not going to lie to you."
"So who's holding what over you're head?" I practically demanded. This was not like me, I had finally given into my fear.
Domon noticed my sudden mood shift and for some reason decided to tell me.
"Whatever brought me here has Rain and Saisaishi and will kill them if I don't save you."
I realized those two must truly mean something to him.
"If you need to save me to get them back why didn't you save me you're self instead of waiting for me to get out?"
I watched as emotions crossed Domon's face.
"I don't like the idea of anything being able to control me. That's the main reason that I waited so long. That and the fact that the idea of fighting wars such as this sickens me."
"Then what would you do?" I asked, what other way was there than this war?
"Before I answer how many wars have there been in this dimension?"
I looked utterly confused, "What do you mean by 'in this dimension'?" I asked getting utterly confused.
"I'm from a parallel universe, Saisaishi and I where getting ready for a Gundam match when the day suddenly darkened to night. There was a flash of light and Saisaishi (with his Gundam) and Rain were gone. No one could find them anywhere, and after spending almost three days looking without getting any rest George forced me to go back to my room and get some sleep. I arrived at my room and once I had closed the door I sensed another presence in my room. I tried to move to attack it and found myself unable to move. The creature then asked me if I would do anything to get Rain and Saisaishi back. When I told it I would it told me to get my Gundam and leave earth's atmosphere, with only my Gundam, and not to tell anyone I was leaving."
I watched Domon pause to collect his thoughts, and then go on.
"Once I had left the atmosphere the presence, I had never gotten a look at the creature, appeared in my Gundam. There was a flash of light and I found myself outside of that base. I was given the layout of the base, along with the promise that I would not be discovered to be a Gundam pilot, which I tried to correct him to Gundam fighter, but he told me here you where called simply pilots. It was also set up so that they would be expecting me, along with some cargo, which turned out to be my Gundam, and that they would not question anything I did for the first few days I was there. The creature left me after telling to save someone called 'dragon' and that I would know him when I saw him."
Domon stopped talking and looked at me for a second.
"You are sometimes called dragon right?" he asked worried that he may have gotten the wrong person.
I had to smile at that, "Yes, I am part of the Dragon Clan." He nodded, and I muttered "And sometimes that baka Maxwell calls me dragon."
"Maxwell, that's the one with the purple eyes? The one called Duo?" Domon asked.
"Yes that's him, and his eyes are violet, not purple."
Domon shrugged, "Why do you seem to hate him?"
"I don't hate him." I answered, "He was the reason I got captured, he was supposed to provide a distraction so I could get away. Other than he's fine when he's not talking non-stop, trying to embarrass me, eating non- stop, or pulling pranks."
Domon stared at me.
"I don't hate him." I affirmed. "I just find him really annoying sometimes." I added then asked, "How will you get Saisaishi and Rain back?"
"I'm supposed to deliver you to you're friends, then wait for instructions."
"What did you mean by Gundam fighter?" I finally asked, that had been bugging me since he had told me about it.
"Rather than fighting war after war, as you do here, in my universe we hold Gundam matches every four years. The winner of the matches gets to rule until the next match. All of the colonies send their Gundams (that they build) to earth and specially trained fighters pilot the Gundams. I was from Neo Japan, and Saisaishi was from Neo China."
I nodded when Domon finished, while it seemed more honorable to fight that way, that way innocents didn't have to be hurt, I could also see down sides. My major question would be wasn't it possible for someone to rig the outcome.
"Domon do me a favor and don't call me kid anymore." I said, getting off of the subject of fighting for a while.
"Ok, why?"
"It bothers me." I replied. "I feel it lowers my importance."
Domon seemed confused by that.
"The colonies are relying on myself and the others to save them from OZ."
"But I don't see why it would bother you if I called you kid."
"It reminds me of Meiran for some reason." I told him, seeing the confusion on his face I decided to try and explain. "Meiran was my wife, she was promised to me at birth and she was killed during the start of this war."
"Just how old are you?"
"Fifteen. All of us are."
Domon nodded and once again the cockpit fell into silence.
I turned back to watching the stars and saw something coming at them.
"Domon what's that?"
He stared at the object I had pointed out.
"It looks like a Gundam."
When it got closer I could see indeed it was a Gundam, Wing Zero to be exact.
"It's in attack mode." I warned Domon.
He nodded and tried to pilot his Gundam away from Wing.
Wing, or rather Heero decided to give chase. Domon glanced once at me and moved God, as he had told me his Gundam was called, as fast as possible away from Heero.
"Why don't we tell them we're not the enemy?" I asked,
"I'm not sure of the frequency that you use." Domon told me, and then gave his complete attention to flying.
I made my way over to where I could punch in the proper channel, however the Gundam suddenly shifted almost throwing me to the ground.
"This is going to get a lot rougher, something is chasing us from the base."
"Mobil Dolls." I told him.
I watched as HeavyArms, and Sandrock also appeared. They attacked the dolls while Heero still chased us. I found someplace where I could brace myself, and stayed there hoping Heero wouldn't kill us before I could make it back over to the comm. unit.
Domon forced God to fly with precession that most people would never have.well most people not Gundam pilots. Heero matched Domon turn for turn, until finally Domon managed to get behind where Sandrock and HeavyArms were and used them to cut off Heero's attack. I fully believed this battle was turning in our favor until DeathScythe Hell appeared. I knew Domon could never hope to outrun the four Gundams, and it was obvious that the others would soon be helping Heero since almost all of the Dolls where gone.
Domon tried to get God to go into something he called Hyper mode and for some reason failed. He tried one more time and once again failed, as I watched DeathScythe Hell and the others surround us. No one bothered to hail the strange Gundam that had just come from the OZ base. This disturbed me, Heero and Trowa I could understand, but Quatre should have told us to surrender and Duo should have contacted us just to mock us. I knew what I would have to do and once again made my way to the comm. and almost made it when Domon shouted out a warning and the Gundam shifted under a blow from Zero. Sliding across the floor of a Gundam wasn't what I really wanted to do yet I found myself doing just that, but for once luck was with me and I hit the comm. box rather hard.
Domon glanced once at me as I let out a yelp and I heard him mutter 'Told you to brace yourself.' I tried to ignore him and instead punched in the frequency. That done I tried to take a deep breath and realized that at some point I had punctured one of my lungs. I had a feeling it was that last hit. I knew I should be ok for a short time, but I needed medical attention soon.
I hit the last button that should open a channel and watched as Wing moved to attack at the same time Heero's face appeared in a small box to the left of Domon.
I watched as Heero suddenly realized who he was attacking as a mixture of amazement and horror broke out across his face.
"Heero break off the attack" I screamed.

Note continued: I'm going to leave it here, I know evil cliff hanger. But you need to admit at least it is getting longer. I will have the next chapter out a lot sooner.
I had plans to end this with the next chapter, but something occurred to me, just where are Rain and Saisaishi? So I'm guessing it's going to take about 4 more chapters than this really should be done.
Oh yeah and this chapter was dedicated to: 'KaT aka Mistress Shinigami' thanks for still reading!
