I love Sailor Moon and I love Gundam Wing, so what better thing to do than to combine them in a high-explosive fanfic? Complete with guns and violence. ^^ (AN: Not suitable for anyone who hasn't read _anything_ Gundam or SM, understand?)
Anyways, just a couple of notes: ** means that it's to a different scene, with a different character. Just one * means that it's the same scene but later on. Got it? Now let's get on with the show! Let the camera roll! It's show time!
Oh yeah, ^_^'' AN: I don't own anything in this story except the plotline. Wow. Impressive. -. - I know. But hey! It works as a disclaimer! Doesn't it? Eh...don't answer that please. ^-^'''''''
How To Make An Entrance (Lessons 101)
Makoto took a moment to appraise her opponent before moving in to kill. He didn't have a gun, or he didn't want to use it - yet. He was shorter than her, about 5'5" she'd guess, and looked like he had some Chinese ancestry. Well, time to see what he's got.
Ouch.
Obviously good. This was going to be fun.
Usagi watched the cameras they'd placed intently. Damn, things were not going as planned. Well, at least –
"Moon, you there?"
"Hai Mercury. What's the take?"
"Pilot 02 taken care of on my part. Mission accomplished."
"Good. Rendez-vous at the pre-determined coordinates and keep an eye or two open. Over."
"Understood. Over and out." Usagi breathed a sigh of relief. One down and three –
"Moon?"
"Mars?"
"Hai. I've got a bit of a problem."
"What?"
"Pilot 01 is loose."
"He's not there anymore," Usagi replied as she glanced at the screen. She'd seen him run off after re-examining Mars' work. Mars sighed.
"Well, this place is going to still be an inferno then."
"You have to still wait for Jupiter and Venus, understand? Mercury's out and will meet you at the Rendez-vous, understood?"
"Understood. Out." Just then there was a click as the door opened. Usagi ducked.
Makoto breathed heavily and tried to ignore the pain that flared every time she took a breath. Probably cracked a rib, or broken, not that either was good to have at the moment. To her supreme irritation though, her opponent wasn't even breaking a sweat. Alright then, time to do something desperate.
"You weak onna, can't you do any better?" Growling, Makoto launched herself at him. Kick, punch, punch, twist, turn, right there –
Placing her hand on the back of his neck, she pushed with her mind. Electricity crackled and he slumped, but not before landing one last kick at her ribs. The world shifted fuzzily and Makoto gasped. He was out cold. She was in intense pain. Shaking her head to clear her vision, she managed to smile shakily to herself. At least she could complete her mission now.
Usagi rolled under the desk and pulled her gun out, holding it close she peaked around to see nothing. The door was still open but no one was there. Ducking back she took a deep breath and counted.
One minute later she mentally cursed. She didn't have time for this! She swung out of her hiding place, gun ready, to come face to face with another gun. Both blinked and then fired. Her attacker's bullet nipped into the floor behind her as she rolled. Usagi's hit the wall where he had been a second earlier.
Shit! That was close! Whatever happened to patience Usagi? Another bullet clipping through her hair brought her back to reality.
"Feeze!" Ignoring the order, Usagi dived. A shower of bullets followed her. Damn! She did not have time for this!
Makoto removed the last panel and reached in. Sparks flew. The lights flickered. Mission accomplished. Pressing a button on her belt she called Usagi.
"Moon?"
"Now is not a good time!" Startled, Makoto actually stepped back from the intensity in Usagi's voice. Then she heard a gunshot across the line and understood.
"All done Moon! Over and Out!" Severing the line, she hurried to the rendez-vous point. As she ran, she realized she was running right into the sounds of gun fighting.
Oh please don't let it be bad, we need to get out of here before Rei's explosives decide to go off. Where is Minako?
Help would be nice right about-
The sound of new gunfire ripped through the air over her head. Minako cowered against the ground, hands over her head.
"Venus!" Looking up, she saw a brunette handing upside down from the vents overhead, gun in hand. "Get your ass up here now!" Needing no second urging, Minako jumped up and into the vent, Makoto covering her retreat.
"Wait, Jupiter, aren't the vents wired and set?"
"I disabled some of the traps, enough to get our asses out of here." Electricity sparkled at her fingers and faded. The green-eyed brunette smiled.
"Now let's move. Moon needs our help."
"Can't we just call a truce!" The gunfire paused. Usagi's attacker seemed to consider this. "I have to warn you that this place is going to be one great big ball of fire as soon as I give the word!"
"If I kill you, you won't ever give it." Usagi smacked her forehead. Baka! That wasn't the best move.
"Even if I don't give it, it'll happen anyway. I'm not the one with the detonator." Silence. "You know, you could get out of here and let me go, and fight another day. Personally, I don't think dieing is your thing, but hey, I could be wrong—"
"Moon!" Whipping around to look at the door, Moon was confronted by the sight of a very bruised Jupiter and Venus.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"What the hell are you doing talking to yourself?" Usagi opened her mouth to reply and then shut it. Her attacker had obviously left already.
"Let's just get out of here already."
Wufei groaned as he came to and then cursed. He'd been beaten by a stupid onna. Ack, he was definitely not telling the others about this. Suddenly, Duo came running up.
"We have got to get out of here. This place -"
"-is rigged to blow up," Quatre finished. Wufei just blinked. Was it just him or did GW pilots manage to pop out of the ground at will? Nodding, he followed them out just as the first of a series of explosions rocked the building.
Ami wrapped up Rei's arm and scolded her. The bullet had gone cleanly through Rei's arm, missing any bones. They were back at Rei's temple. After checking in at headquarters, they had gone straight to the shrine to recuperate. Makoto was nursing a black eye and Minako looked like she was going to start stocking up on guns. Usagi meanwhile was busy watching Ami and Rei with a smile on her face.
"Wanna go to the movies?" There was a pause as everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Usagi. "I'm serious! We could all use some R and R after this last mission. I'm thinking a nice, funny movie."
"With lots of explosions and things going 'boom'?" Rei put in sarcastically. Ami lightly slapped her hand.
"No baka! I said something funny and nice!"
"Whoever said explosions couldn't be peppered with funniness?"
"Please stop it," Ami said, putting a hand up to rub her now aching temples. Rei immediately stopped and moved to give Ami a back massage which Ami immediately melted into.
"Sorry." Ami just nodded, eyes still closed.
"How about, um...hey Mina-chan! What would you suggest?" Minako put her gun down and moved for the newspaper.
"How about -"
"-we go to a movie!" Duo yelled, jumping up and down. Wufei growled and reached for his katana. Duo pretended not to notice. Wufei had been in a bad mood ever since they'd gotten out of that mess they called an operation. Heero was just as bad. He hadn't been able to say 'Mission accomplished'.
Trowa and Quatre looked up from their spot on the couch. They blinked.
"A movie Duo?" Quatre repeated.
"Yeah! It'll help take our minds off things! Pleeeeeeeease guys!"
"Well..." Quatre looked hopefully at Trowa. "Will you take me to a movie?"
"..."
"Please?"
"..."
Quatre whispered something in Trowa's ear that made him swiftly grab Quatre and drag him out the door. "Meet you guys in the car!" Quatre yelled after them as the door slammed on
"-and what makes you think-"
"Come on Wufei! Don't you love me anymore?" Sighing, Wufei just rubbed him temples in exasperation.
"How the hell do I put up with you?"
"You put up with me because you love me and like to take me out to movies!"
"I most certainly do not like to take you to movies. You buy tons of food and throw popcorn at the screen. No, I am not-"
"Pleeeeease?"
"No."
"Fine. Then I'm going with Quatre and Trowa and tonight when I get home, I'm not going to-"
"Fine! I'll come! I'm coming!" Heero smirked as Wufei tried to untangle himself from the little bundle of energy. Following them out the door, he wondered who those stealth soldiers were that had managed to beat them so well at their own game.
"Now, Usagi, you promised not to buy too much food this time!"
"I know! But I just wanna get some popcorn! Movies can't function properly without popcorn!"
"Actually, movies can function perfectly without popcorn; it's you that can't Usagi."
"I meant the movie experience!"
"Here's some money, go have fun."
"Thank you soooooooo much Mako-chan! I love you!" Laughing, Mako just waved Usagi off. "Well, let's find some seats then."
"Can I go get some popcorn Wu?"
"No."
"Plee-"
"No! I told you-" Wufei suddenly froze as he saw her.
Makoto suddenly stopped laughing and stared. A strangled "– him" escaped. All the girls turned just as the theatre lights went dark.
As the movie started, five guns were aimed. Trowa and Heero each held theirs while Duo remained standing shocked next to Wufei. Ami had moved so she was standing partially in front of Rei and the gun pointed at her. Mako's gun was pointed at Trowa who had his pointed at Minako who had two pointing right back at Trowa. Just then Usagi came up.
"Aiiieeeeeee! You guys trying to get us all killed?" Everyone just looked at her. Then Heero moved his gun to point at her. Usagi just stood there for a second before acted completely out of character.
"You baka! Pointing your gun in a theatre full of people! You should be in a mental institution! You want civilians to see us and take note on who we are?" Everyone suddenly looked sheepish and put their guns up, except for Heero. He never moved an inch. He glared at Usagi. Usagi glared right back. Finally he put his gun up. The GW pilots all breathed easier.
"May I suggest we all step outside and talk?" Quatre asked in his normal pleasant way. The girls all nodded and took the lead.
