CHAPTER 8: DISCOVERY ANOTHER ONE
As one shuttle was making its way to earth the obvious damage to the engines spun it off course the next four made its way to the next colony which was L1. "Damn Preventer's," one man protested as he maneuvered his shuttle away from the on coming blasts. Each blast was harder then the last as the pilot of the shuttle a man in his late forties drove it into the colony. When the shuttle finally was in a safe haven all the others where accounted for. As he got out of the shuttle he made sure he checked all the systems to see that they where functioning correctly. Turning his head he saw that the precious cargo that he so safeguarded was safe as well. He could not help but feel highly uncomfortable with the cargo that he had carried from one colony to the next. Shaking the feeling of unease he made his way off the shuttle to go get himself a place to stay for the night. He settled in one of the fancy hotels being a pilot of an intercolonial shuttle all the pilots get free room and board due to their busy schedules.
The man settled himself with getting a shower and comfortable when the vidphone rang. Walking over to where it was located near the kitchen he picked it up, "Rodgers here," he said, "Hello Rodgers has the cargo been delivered successfully?" said a low sinister voice and he gulped, "Yes Mr. Ellison the cargo has been successfully delivered as promised. We had a run in with the Preventer's but only one shuttle was shot down sir." He said, "I already have a team down on Earth to retrieve the body but it appears that the body is already gone." He said in a calm tone and Rodgers knew that the boss was not pleased, "Has the one you requested to your office safely delivered?" he asked, "It has and you know the final rendezvous point I want the rest of those bodies so don't fail me," he said as he hung up and Rodgers gulped down his fear. Everyone in the Avengers knew that no one messes with the head for the last person who did was quickly eliminated. Getting settled for the night he was about to get some rest when the alarms went off. When the hotel alarms go off usually means something is happening in the neighboring shuttle bay. Running as fast as he could Rodgers made his way to the shuttle bay. As he neared his he could see the smoke coming from the shuttles. When he finally opened the door he found that the shuttle bay was a smoking ruin he could not move any further for the shuttles that where parked in the shuttle bay where gone having been sucked into space. Getting angry he made his way out of the area and made the phone call to Mr. Ellison to explain certain things.
It turns out that the shuttle bay was ransacked by space pirates those who after the war want nothing more then to pillage the colonists and travelers who come to space. As they made their way towards their hideout the dropped certain 'unwanted cargo' that included three ice blocks that where very large to fit in the cargo bays and made use to the shuttles. The two others made their way down towards the earth while the third made its way towards a continent called Africa.
Quatre Reberba Winner was busy trying to bandage the latest injuries from the recent Avengers attack. To the shock of many that survived only to die the next day. In the recent events the Avengers used a form of poison to attack the innocent. "How much more are they going to make the innocent suffer?" he asked himself as he bandaged another man who was seriously injured. He was a native African a Masai Herdsman who was injured during the last battle. He and his tribe where passing by on the yearly migration to a lake about a hundred miles to the south when the Avengers decided to take advantage. "Why do they attack us we did nothing to them." Said the man who spoke accented Swahili the African universal dialect. "I do not know myself," replied Quatre in Swahili having learned it from his father as a young man. It was a requirement for all Winners to learn the languages of their homeland and this was one of them. "It started out as a normal campaign against the government for all the loved ones that where lost during the war. But all that has changed now they want domination of the world." He said and the man nodded, "I understand young Preventer they do not seek peace but more on the ways of power. They think they should rule the government instead of the current leaders. Though we the Masai want to remain steadfast to our old ways it is unnatural if we don't allow change to slowly come into play." He said and Quatre nodded, "I agree with you friend that I totally agree." He said before he settled in to the peaceful slumber of unconsciousness he was glad that he was alive and going to do fine. He got up slowly to stretch himself when he heard the roar in the skies. He ran outside when he heard the roar and thought that a shuttle was coming down. What is a shuttle doing out here in the middle of nowhere? He thought as he looked up only to see a burning object hit the ground with a hard impact. Running to the nearest vehicle he drove out till he saw a crater in the ground. As he got closer what he saw was not smoke but steam! "What the hell?" he thought as he got closer inspecting the strange object. As he got closer he could tell that the crater was not very large in fact it was rather small. Upon closer inspection he saw that there was nothing at first. He suddenly felt something in his chest and he clutches it. His space heart as he called it was telling him to go closer to the crater. Quatre decided to walk to the crater since all the animals had been scared off or killed during the blast. He walked out to where the rim of the cater started and began to peek over. He was horrified to find a human body in the middle of the crater. What scared him more was the fact that this human body was perfectly fine! It was not burned at the least he did notice some features though that caught this human as unworldly. The first thing he noticed was that the person was very young about ten or eleven years of age. He is only a boy Quatre thought to himself as he walked into the crater and took the boy in his arms. He felt strong muscles under the naked skin for the boy had nothing on him at all. All his clothes if he had any probably were burned off during the fall to earth. He thought as he carried they boy to the jeep. During the walk back to the jeep he noticed that there was an arrow sticking out of the boy's chest and out the other side. As the wind blew the boys golden locks a little dirtier then Quatre's flowed in the breeze. Quatre then placed the boy on the hood of the car and began to pull on the arrow. The arrow at first did not budge and plus Quatre was fearing for this young boy's life. It is very strange that a boy should fall from the sky. He seems to be alright just a lost of clothing and the ground around the crater seems moist as the ground beyond the crash site lacks any moisture. Come to think of it the boy himself is a little wet. Ever since I came back from that bottled up mission a few days ago and was assigned here things have become very strange to me. As he thought about it all the strange events that are taking place in space as well as Earth he also began to wonder about the recent report he got from headquarters. It was the sightings of the shuttle that crashed just outside of New Port city. As he neared the port he began to wonder about the crash, it has got to be the same shuttle Trowa and I shot down and later could not track. He pondered as he began to think back to a few days ago.
FLASHBACK
The shuttle made its way down to Earth as Quatre and Trowa tried to evade the other shuttles who where trying to fire back. Turning towards the sound Quatre could make out three shuttles breaking away. "We have been duped," he said to Trowa, "I see so these here are decoys," he said as he maneuvered away from all the shuttles. He then released a volley of missiles and made his get away.
END OF FLASHBACK
His thoughts returned to reality as he neared the gates to the compound. Greeting the guard he made his way into the compound. As he made his way to the hospital wing he called for all available hands to help him with the boy. They all gazed at the boy and then back at Quatre, "Just help him I think he is still alive." He said and the nurses got to work. Quatre watched as the last strand of flowing blond hair disappeared into the next room. He then felt a presence behind him a familiar presence and the smell of dirt and grease. "Hello Rashid," Quatre said to the taller Arab, "Greetings Master Quatre you got some explaining to do about that encounter." He said his eyes wondering to the window of the E.R. where they are trying to revive the boy. "I found him at the crash site funny thing is that there is nothing wrong with him." Replied Quatre, "He is not breathing and I felt no pulse but something tells me that he is alive." He said putting a hand to his heart. "I trust your instincts Master Quatre I just came to give you a report from headquarters." He answered and handed the blond the document before turning away. "Master Quatre please be careful next time." Said Rashid and Quatre smiled back he knew that the Maganacs were worried about his welfare. Eyes down cast again he turned to the operating room to see if anything would happen before heading back to his office. The long walk was all that Quatre needed to cool off from the ordeal with the boy. He opened his folder when he came into his office which is an out of the way not too fancy office. Someone as rich as Quatre Winner the man had no need for materialistic things to him simple things is all that he needs. Seating himself down on the soft chair on the other side he opened up the manila envelope and began to read the contents.
TO: PREVENTER SANDSTORM FROM: HEADQUATERS
Subject has been found somewhere in the city about 2200 hours after dark. Relena Peacecraft was taken to an ally by Avenger agents according to her where dressed as Preventers. Agents then tried to attack Ms. Peacecraft and tried to make and attempt at rape. Only before actual intercourse subject attacked the agents killing then instantly and impressed on Ms. Peacecraft as master. Subject has also been known to cause trouble to civilians and now is in the hands of Ms. Peacecraft being a loyal subject and bodyguard. Preventer found several more bodies nearby in the woods having the same wounds so subject has also attacked them as well. Subject goes by the name of Justin and from sightings he may be the one called Thunder Fox the fox demon of the Shadow Assassins.
With that the report ended and Quatre sat back as he studied the report, "One of the shadow assassins already has been found and by Relena of all people." He sighed as he sat back just then the phone rang and he answered, "Preventer Sandstorm," he said using his code name on the phone, "Preventer Sandstorm the patient is in recovery and nothing seems wrong with him. We for some reason can't remove the arrow in his body." Nodding his head Quatre made his way to the recovery room to find that there is no monitors on his body, "I am sorry sir but because there is no life signs on this young boy. We had no need for monitors but the funny thing is though that there is heat radiating from the boy's body." She said as she headed out the door her pager going off. Quatre stared at the young form before him from the long golden hair covered in spots to the clawed fingers on his body. He only wore the arrow on his body as it protrudes from his heart. Quatre slowly put his hand on the arrow and felt the shaft. Made out of wood he thought as he felt even the end of it where feathers looked a little worn. He jumped when the door opened and a doctor entered, "Preventer Sandstorm I presume," he said and Quatre nodded, "We found a device on the boy's body," he said holding it out to him. It was like a headset of sorts only fitting around the ear. He held the object for inspection and found the technology to be a bit out of date. "How old is this?" he said, "According to the reports on this thing it acted as block of some sorts. When we tested it, it was still active and found that when it made contact with anyone all their memories where erased leaving them empty. It also has a feedback of sorts for other memories only simple phrases of course. From my thinking it is some sort of transmitter and when we tested the date it goes back to my surprise five hundred years." He said shaking his head, "Five hundred years?" Quatre said hiding his surprise, "Yes sir that was what the date on this thing reads December 7th 2006." And Quatre turned it over to read the date and it read 2002. "As you see Agent Sandstorm that the date on this thing go as far back as the year 2002 but the last transmission is from 2006." He said, "The boy we found is alive but in a sort of suspended animation we don't know how he got this way or even why his physical shape has been altered but I would rather leave it in your hands in case something happens." He said, "Thank you doctor," he said before the doctor exited. Sighing Quatre walked back towards the bed to where the boy laid his feature peaceful. "You are a strange one as to what happened I can only guess as to who you really are." He said his hand closing in on the device, "It was this very thing that has made you a monster," he said before crushing it in his hand. "I swear that you will never have to kill again," he said placing his hand on the boys face and feeling the smooth skin. "Sleep little one for you no longer have to see this cruel world again." getting up he exited the room to file his report.
TO: PREVENTER HEADQUARTERS FROM: PREVENTER SANDSTORM SUBJECT: UNKNOWN ANNAMALY
Subject has been found as of 500 hours and has fallen without any protection at all. He is a young male around the age of ten to eleven years of age but medical reports showed that he is at least five hundred. Subject also has been found with an arrow coming out of his chest right through the heart and is unable to move. Subject has also been found with a strange sort of transmitter behind his left ear as the medical reports claim. The device is a sort of transmitter that blocks out the electrical signals for memory in the brain and only outputting simple instructions that where given to the subject. The subject has strange markings on him besides the long blond hair light brown spots are found in his hair line that appear to be natural instead of dyed. The subjects canines are longer then a normal humans and his finger nails are in the shape of claws that has shown some wear and tear. Other then those markings the subject shows no sign of beatings or awakening any time soon.
With that Quatre ended his report and sent it off to Lady Une at headquarters in Sank Kingdom. Closing his laptop he gone into his bedroom to rest and think about the days events.
