Slowly eyes opened to the new light as Jimmy took in the lights outside. It was well into the night and he was looking out at the world. How beautiful the future is, he thought. The door opened and Justin walked in, "How are you feeling Jimmy?" he asked, "I fell like shit honestly," he said to his friend who shut the door behind him. "How long have I been out?" "About a week it took long enough for the poison to get out of you system and your body to build up immunity to it." Justin replied, "I got another question?" Jimmy asked, "Shoots," he said, "You had as much poison as me right," Jimmy asked and Justin nodded, "Well how come you never was out like I was?" Jimmy asked, "Well the answer is simple I have already an immunity to poisons such as that for I already was poisoned by another with far stronger venom then that spider," he said, "Who?" Jimmy asked, "Mart," he said and the fox saw Jimmy's eyes lit up, "You saw Mart?" he asked, "Yep but she is one of the enemies," Justin said and he saw the light of hope fade from Jimmy's eyes, "Why?" he asked, "She is still under the mind control device," he said, "And something else," Jimmy's face turned from one of curiosity to one of bewilderment, "What do you mean?" he asked, "I will have to disgust this later when we meet up with Steven," he said, "Steven is free as well?" "Yep but he is in Arabia and the plan is for me to go first with Wufei since they are under attack from Avenger's forces," it was then that Justin proceeded to tell Jimmy the up date of what happened. "So we are in the future then?" Jimmy said some time later, "Yep in the year A.C. 202 I have been at it for nearly two years," he said, "As well as Mart," he said in a whisper, "So the thing now is the stop these Avengers is that right?" he said and Justin nodded, "At all cost must they be stopped we don't want another slaughter," Jimmy agreed, "How long till we go to Steven's place?" "I leave tomorrow you have another few days in the hospital till you are ready to leave. Then you and Trowa will head out to the Arabian Base where we will meet up with Steven and Quatre," "Quatre that sounds like a fagots name," Jimmy said and it was then that he was met with an electric shock, "Hey what the fuck was that for?" Jimmy asked, "Simple for you being a pain that is all, first up Quatre is not a fag got that," he said sternly, "Second of all he is an Arabian so treat him with respect," with that Jimmy nodded, "Good," he said and Jimmy started to giggle and Justin turned around, "What?" he asked, "Since when did you become serious all of a sudden if I remember correctly you where still a troublemaker when I saw you last." Jimmy laughed, "I stopped being annoying when I saw too much blood shed Jimmy that can wake anyone up. And I have seen too much war to keep the smile," he said sarcastically and Jimmy fell silent.
The next day Justin was gone leaving Jimmy alone by himself in the hospital lounge eating his dinner which was good by the way. It was then that a person walked up to him. "Can I sit here?" he asked and Jimmy nodded his tail twitching slowly behind him. "So you are aware of the mission tomorrow," he said, "I thought it was in a few days?" Jimmy asked not looking up, "They changed plans we leave tonight and arrive at the base tomorrow." He said and Jimmy looked up to see who he was talking to. He was shocked to see a handsome young man sitting in front of him. His shinning emerald eyes glowed with a hidden wisdom but sadness as well. Also his bangs seemed to defy gravity and cover one eye. But that was not what made Jimmy's eyes lit up; it was recognizing that face, "You! It is you Preventer Ice!" Jimmy said and Trowa nodded, "Hey Jimmy how are you doing," said another voice and Jimmy turned to see Catherine coming up to check on him. Jimmy leaped up and gave her a hug, "You are ok!" he said, "Of course I am ok thanks to you and Justin," she said smiling. "Jimmy this is Trowa," she said introducing the Preventer. Jimmy could only stare at the man that smells like a cat to him. He looked at Trowa again and saw that the man was soft spoken but firm when he told Jimmy the details of his visit. "Tomorrow at dusk you are to meet me at the hanger," he said before turning to leave leaving Jimmy alone in the eating room with Catherine. "So how are things going between you and Trowa," she asked, "I do not know he seems so cold," Jimmy replied, "I see," Catherine said, "Well you will get used to it he is always acting the silent type but deep down he is a nice guy," she said, "Catherine?" Jimmy asked, "What is it Jimmy?" Catherine asked, "Well I was wondering what these things in here are?" Jimmy asked, and Catherine had to look around before answering, "Oh they are mobile suits," she said, "Mobile suits?" Jimmy replied. "A mobile suit is a giant robot that a pilot uses to fight other mobile suits, as well as use them for other things such as mining asteroids or repairing damages to colonies." This information was tucked away for later as Jimmy made himself ready for the events to come, "So what are these mobile suits used for?" he asked, "Oh they are used for war," Catherine sighed. Jimmy was shocked, "Wow they don't use tanks or guns anymore?" he said, "I do not know I do know that the battles with these suits are a lot worse then before. They can kill people with out them knowing it. That is why the Gundams where made in the first place," she said, "Gundams?" Jimmy asked, "Justin told me about them. He said they are the deadliest mobile suits around but they and their pilots only fight for peace." He said and Catherine nodded, "They are made for peace," Catherine said remembering the Eve Wars. "They where designed originally to destroy mankind after a colony was dropped on the earth," this got the tigers attention and his tail twitched to show it, "Well after that the scientists who built it tried to stop it with the help of the pilots themselves. And that proved to be a temporary success." She said, "Well what happened?" Jimmy said impatiently and Catherine had to smile as she walked down the isle of the long hallways. "Well a year after that horrible war Marimaia and her army came to start war again. The gundams came again and stopped them permanently or so we thought." She said as she stopped to look out the window. "Well what happened after that?" Jimmy asked eagerly. "Well two years after that this war got started with the Avengers," she said sadly, "We did not have the gundams to protect us this time so we where unprepared. We had to rebuild the gundams to protect us again but this enemy was even stronger then the last ever since they introduced those monsters on us." She said sadly, "You mean the demons," said Jimmy now in a softer voice as he looked out the window as well. "Yea, if you call them that. We where out of hope till we upgraded the gundams but that was still not enough. Then we heard about you and the other Shadow Assassins from a infiltration of the one of their bases in the colonies." She said and Jimmy was stunned, "We wanted your help by choice not by force like before," she said and Jimmy nodded, "I understand you want peace so you can live happy right?" he said and Catherine nodded, "Well I wanted it again too. After all no one asked us to become monsters in the first place. The only one really fighting was Mart. At least she was not afraid of them." He sadly whispered, "Tell me is this 'Mart' a demon also?" Catherine asked, "Yes she is a dog demon the strongest out of all of us," he said, "And the most out of control of us all," he added in a whisper. Catherine held him close as his eyes began to water at the memory. "What do you mean?" she asked as she led the boy to the lounge of the hospital. "Well if you promise to let me tell the story and not interrupt till I am done then I will tell you," he said straight forward and Catherine nodded her agreement. "Ok well Mart unlike the rest of us was the only female. But she was not a kid they mistaken her for a teen at the time." He said taking a breath. "Well when they did the experiments and we changed she had gone out of control for she did not have a human body to change back into like the rest of us." He said and Catherine winced, "Well she grew so out of control that they had to use several human hosts to hold her at bay so that way they can use her powers to carry out their missions, but Mart would have none of that." He said and Catherine was shocked, "They tried to hold her but they all failed and she was out of control. Then the beads came and she was subdued for a time. Eventually her power grew too out of control and she killed the ones trying to control her as well as us in a madding rage. When they introduced the mind control device it worked but it made her worse. Mart wanted to only run free but the reason she was so out of control is because her freedom was jeopardized." He said taking a breath and Catherine went up to the dispenser nearby and got him some soda. Coming back she handed him the soda and he continued, "Well when they could no longer completely control her they set her lose on her own family. After placing her in another body. That body was the one that enraged her the most. It was the body of her cousin. That cousin was killed by her and she whipped out the island in her blood thirst. Out island home where we all grew up was destroyed because of them. They all made us like that but none of us compared to that of Mart." he said with tears coming out of his eyes. "One day I would have to face her just like Justin and I later learned Steven did as well." and with that he let the tears fall at the memory of the loved ones he cherished where killed by a single dog. Catherine held Jimmy close as she began to think about all this, "You know what Jimmy?" she said, and the boy looked up, "You are just like the Gundam pilots thrust into a war they did not want. Not only that but forced to kill when you are just children!" she said strongly, "Trowa was like that as well forced to kill and become a soldier. All I want more then anything is to see it stop. I am tired of seeing children forced to pick up guns and kill their own families." She said as she began to cry as well making Jimmy feel at peace. She was startled when she heard soft noises coming from Jimmy and realized that he was purring! Picking him up Catherine carried him back to his room and tucked him in giving him a light kiss on the forehead. "Sleep well little tiger," she said with a smile as she walked out of the room.
It was then next night that Jimmy found himself inside a huge hangar. After asking Catherine about where to find it he made a bee line straight to the sight. The hangar itself was huge larger than any airline hangar that Jimmy ever encountered in his 500 years of life. He walked in hearing his feet make the barest sound as he entered. The door closed behind him and thanks to his night vision Jimmy could find his way around. He suddenly found himself in front of a lot of large robots. "These must be the so called mobile suits that Catherine and Justin where talking about," he said to himself and what caught his interest was all the different types of Mobile suits. There where some with weird heads others that look like tanks, some that look like they could suck you in and kill you. To Jimmy there where just plain weird kind of reminded him of a game he used to play. "Reminds me of Robotech and Mechwarrior," he said and he wondered around some more. It was some time later that Jimmy conclude that this was indeed a series of sorts for the so called mobile suits. As he wondered around more he could see the different parts all over the place. There where some that had no arms as well as head and other places. It was then that he saw one with the cockpit open. Looking up in curiosity he leaped for it and landed on the platform with a front flip. He looked around and then crawled into the cockpit. He found the controls and began to play with it. "How do you move anything with just pushing pedals and these strange things." He said to no one and found the controls to be simple enough. Getting out of the cockpit he looked around at his higher view. It was then that he saw the strangest of all the mobile suits. It was like watching the terminator. To Jimmy it was the strangest one of all.
He saw that the suit itself was shaped more human like including the head. On its right arm were two large machine guns. The other gun was on the ground next to the left arm. He could see that this machine was indeed not like the others. For starters Jimmy could smell a lot of gun powder from this thing. It was like it was a monster gone silent. Walking closer he could see where the cockpit was located. Leaping up to it with ease Jimmy found the switch that opens the door and peered inside. The inside the controls where different then that of the other mobile suit. Jimmy crawled in and got a better view. The controls where far different then the other suits. For starters this one had two joy sticks on either side for the arms and the usual foot pedals but the pedals where not just for moving the machine. Jimmy could see that the suit can move when the pilot tells it to. Surprised by this the young tiger explored all the other switches for the mobile suit. The soft swoosh of the door alerted Jimmy to the presence of someone else in the room and he exited the machine closing it behind him. When he exited he could smell a familiar scent and relaxed. Trowa stood inside the room facing Jimmy. "I know you where in Heavyarms," he said walking down the isle to the mobile suit. "Heavyarms?" Jimmy asked, "Yea it is a gundam I am sure Catherine or Justin told you what on is." He said coolly at Jimmy before he moved the mobile suit into one of the rooms. "What are you doing?" Jimmy asked, "I am loading the gundam on to a carrier that will take us to the Arabian base." He said and Jimmy was dumbfounded, "You mean there are planes that are bigger then the military jets that I know of?" Jimmy asked, "Firestripe what you are seeing is a mobile suit carrier and it will take us personally to Quatre's base in the Arabian Peninsula where your friends will be waiting." He said coldly before turning to tend to the gundam.
It was just after take off when Jimmy suddenly looked from the cockpit to where Trowa had his eyes closed, "Preventer Ice?" he asked and the unibanged man opened one eye, "Yes?" he asked, "Why are you so cold?" he asked, and what he got to his surprise was a laughing Trowa, "What?" he asked, "To answer you question we where being watched by the enemy," he said, "This plane is secure I checked so there are no bugs at least for the moment," he said before signaling to the pilot who was another Preventer. This one Jimmy noticed had two pig tails going down on the sides of her face. Her golden locks made her face glow with the distant moon. But as Jimmy noticed her face was anything but serine it was filled with a hard cold lock on reality. Feeling nervous Jimmy went into the back followed by Trowa to the gundam. They went to the hanger where the gundam was kept, "Jimmy did Catherine tell you anything?" he asked, "Well she did explain to me what a gundam is and what they represent. As well as the war that we are fighting now but this is no ordinary war that much I know." He said, "She also mentioned something about space colonies. The monks told me some of what mobile suits where and what the colonies are, but I still do not understand much." Jimmy replied as he stared at the unibanged man in front of him. "All she told me is that the war that you are fighting is different then the last two." He said when they started talking about the last two wars. "It is," replied Trowa, "Yea," yelled Sally from the front. "I did not fight a war that involved supernatural monsters before." She said with a smile, "This is a private conversation Sally," Trowa said with a smile. "I know that I can't help but to but in get it?" she said laughing before going back to piloting. "Who was that?" Jimmy asked, and Trowa had to laugh at the antics of this young boy, "That my friend was Sally Po, Wufei's partner," he said smiling. "Wufei I heard that name before," Jimmy said trying to think then he remembered, "Justin's master right?" he said, "Master?" Trowa said with surprise, "Yea Preventer Ice," he said, "Trowa," "Excuse me?" Jimmy asked, "Trowa call me Trowa that is my real name," he said and Jimmy smiled, "Ok Trowa I will call you that," he said and Trowa smiled, "Is that a gundam?" Jimmy asked pointy to Heavyarms, "That is man kind's weapon against war or in this case against demons." He said smiling, "Demons joined in this war didn't they?" Jimmy said and Trowa nodded.
The trip went uneventful and the drop off was a success as they entered the Arabian airspace. Trowa and Jimmy both jumped off the plane, Trowa in the gundam and Jimmy in his tiger form. The event was also uneventful when they met up with the others and Justin filled Jimmy in on the events of what happened. They then checked up on Steven the other Shadow Assassin and had a little chat on Mart (AN: read Steven's story to know what they are talking about for I am not writing that again). The whole time they had been planning on finding their last companion the wolf demon Windstorm or Charlie by his friends. The expedition was to find the wolf and explain to him what was going on. "Are you sure that we will be able to find Charlie?" Justin asked Steven nodded, "Quatre has someone in the North American continent who has seen the shuttle land. But here is the problem," he said as they stood in front of a holographic projector, "The problem lies in the area that Charlie was found." The image zoomed in, "In this area there is an Avenger's base located just out of the drop zone," "Drop Zone?" Jimmy said, "Yea the area that Charlie crashed in. We have to be careful also Mart is also in that area thanks to some recent contacts." Steven explained to them and they nodded, "Our first priority is to find Charlie first then," he said and Steven nodded, "Yea that is the case, find Charlie and hope is not like Mart. If he is then he will be easier to handle then Mart who will be too powerful for the three of us combined to handle." Steven said, "What about the gundams?" Jimmy asked, "Can we use them to handle Mart?" "No," replied Justin, "Mart's venom can penetrate even gundanium and her claws alone can kill a gundam flat." He said and he turned back to the map, "The area is rocky and full of high winds, this is high mountain area so we have to be careful," Jimmy said and the others nodded, "Not only that but we also have to watch for enemy attack," Justin said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in and save Charlie," said Jimmy, "We are waiting for our human friends," said Justin.

It was just after take off when Jimmy suddenly looked from the cockpit to where Trowa had his eyes closed, "Preventer Ice?" he asked and the unibanged man opened one eye, "Yes?" he asked, "Why are you so cold?" he asked, and what he got to his surprise was a laughing Trowa, "What?" he asked, "To answer you question we where being watched by the enemy," he said, "This plane is secure I checked so there are no bugs at least for the moment," he said before signaling to the pilot who was another Preventer. This one Jimmy noticed had two pig tails going down on the sides of her face. Her golden locks made her face glow with the distant moon. But as Jimmy noticed her face was anything but serine it was filled with a hard cold lock on reality. Feeling nervous Jimmy went into the back followed by Trowa to the gundam. They went to the hanger where the gundam was kept, "Jimmy did Catherine tell you anything?" he asked, "Well she did explain to me what a gundam is and what they represent. As well as the war that we are fighting now but this is no ordinary war that much I know." He said, "She also mentioned something about space colonies. The monks told me some of what mobile suits where and what the colonies are, but I still do not understand much." Jimmy replied as he stared at the unibanged man in front of him. "All she told me is that the war that you are fighting is different then the last two." He said when they started talking about the last two wars. "It is," replied Trowa, "Yea," yelled Sally from the front. "I did not fight a war that involved supernatural monsters before." She said with a smile, "This is a private conversation Sally," Trowa said with a smile. "I know that I can't help but to but in get it?" she said laughing before going back to piloting. "Who was that?" Jimmy asked, and Trowa had to laugh at the antics of this young boy, "That my friend was Sally Po, Wufei's partner," he said smiling. "Wufei I heard that name before," Jimmy said trying to think then he remembered, "Justin's master right?" he said, "Master?" Trowa said with surprise, "Yea Preventer Ice," he said, "Trowa," "Excuse me?" Jimmy asked, "Trowa call me Trowa that is my real name," he said and Jimmy smiled, "Ok Trowa I will call you that," he said and Trowa smiled, "Is that a gundam?" Jimmy asked pointy to Heavyarms, "That is man kind's weapon against war or in this case against demons." He said smiling, "Demons joined in this war didn't they?" Jimmy said and Trowa nodded.
The trip went uneventful and the drop off was a success as they entered the Arabian airspace. Trowa and Jimmy both jumped off the plane, Trowa in the gundam and Jimmy in his tiger form. The event was also uneventful when they met up with the others and Justin filled Jimmy in on the events of what happened. They then checked up on Steven the other Shadow Assassin and had a little chat on Mart (AN: read Steven's story to know what they are talking about for I am not writing that again). The whole time they had been planning on finding their last companion the wolf demon Windstorm or Charlie by his friends. The expedition was to find the wolf and explain to him what was going on. "Are you sure that we will be able to find Charlie?" Justin asked Steven nodded, "Quatre has someone in the North American continent who has seen the shuttle land. But here is the problem," he said as they stood in front of a holographic projector, "The problem lies in the area that Charlie was found." The image zoomed in, "In this area there is an Avenger's base located just out of the drop zone," "Drop Zone?" Jimmy said, "Yea the area that Charlie crashed in. We have to be careful also Mart is also in that area thanks to some recent contacts." Steven explained to them and they nodded, "Our first priority is to find Charlie first then," he said and Steven nodded, "Yea that is the case, find Charlie and hope is not like Mart. If he is then he will be easier to handle then Mart who will be too powerful for the three of us combined to handle." Steven said, "What about the gundams?" Jimmy asked, "Can we use them to handle Mart?" "No," replied Justin, "Mart's venom can penetrate even gundanium and her claws alone can kill a gundam flat." He said and he turned back to the map, "The area is rocky and full of high winds, this is high mountain area so we have to be careful," Jimmy said and the others nodded, "Not only that but we also have to watch for enemy attack," Justin said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in and save Charlie," said Jimmy, "We are waiting for our human friends," said Justin.
