THE SNOWY FOUNTIER AND A NEW MISSION
Justin and Jimmy where outside enjoying the snow as yet another snow storm struck the land and left them trapped in the base. But thanks to the demons at least they could get out of the building. Jimmy just melted more snow and Justin dug around the base to make sure that they are not snowed in for the night. Steven helped as well by digging around the base to find a new place to get out and help around the hangars by keeping the gundams from freezing as well.
"You know what Jimmy," Justin asked, "What?" Jimmy replied, "This is the first time I ever saw real snow before I mean I have seen ice from the ice caps but never snow." The fox said as he dug again thought the snow, "I know what you mean Justin and so far it is too much for me," he said shooting another arrow and firing off another attack at the snowy ground.
Charlie was enjoying his ride in the Wing Zero as he saw the land before him spread out, "It is like there is nothing and I am flying on my own," he said and Duo had to smile at that comment. "Yea kid snows fun in all but a pain in the ass to clean when there is too much. It was then that the radar on the Wing detected a base. "Looks like we are nearing the base, "Unidentified aircraft identify yourself you are over restricted space. I repeat you are over restricted space identify yourself now," it said and Charlie began to shake, "Don't worry kid I got this," Duo said and he radioed the tower.
Steven was in the tower at the time when the radar beep picked up a very disturbing voice over the comm... "Preventer base this is Gundam Wing Zero requesting permission to land.Repeat Requesting Permission to land," it said and then Steven was on the comm.
Quatre was in the study when the comm. Went off, "Quatre," said a familiar voice, "Go ahead Steven," he said, "There is a Wing Zero on the comm. Requesting permission to land sir," he said and Quatre's eyes lit up, "Tell them to land and give them clearance immediately," he said excitedly. As he ran to the com room calling the other pilots with him.
Duo was handling the controls with much difficulty since he has not fully recovered from the poison and Charlie was getting worried, "Are you going to be alright?" he asked, and Duo nodded, "I have to be or else I would destroy us both and Heero would kill me," he said trying to smile, "Wing Zero this is Preventer Dragon you are clear to land in docking bay 36 enter through hangar 3," said a familiar voice, "Hey Wufei long time no see," said Duo and the screen lit up to reveal Wufei's shadowed face. "Duo?" he said, "Yea it is me and I brought along a friend as well," he said, "Fuck Duo what the hell are you doing on the Wing Zero?!" Wufei demanded, "Long story," he replied before blanking out, "Ok Charlie time to land this thing." He said and the wolf demon held on in his little area to the right of Duo as he prepared to land the gundam.
The hangar that contained the other gundams including Duo's Deathscythe Hell was made clear as Duo barely piloted the Zero down on to the indicated landing by transforming it back to robot mode and then landing it in the right containment. Shutting down the Zero Duo thanked the gundam before passing out again leaving the squashed Charlie to his own thoughts. Slowly the hatch opened and it revealed a group of men helping Duo out of his seat but backed away when Charlie growled at them and bared his fangs.
"Um guys we have a problem on docking bay number 36," said one of the security officers to the control room, "What is it?" Trowa answered, "Well we got the pilot out alright and he is in medical right now but the problem is the passenger he is not coming out and the tranquilizers are not working." He said and it was then that three certain young individuals decided to investigate this on their own.
Charlie slashed at the officers with his claws and teeth and they tried their best to take him down. But since Charlie has recovered form Moro's attack he has a stronger immunity to ordinary tranquilizers. His eyes glowed red as he was cornered it was instinct that led him to act like this. Because Duo's familiar scent is gone the wolf demon felt cornered without his alpha to protect him. "Get away from the door before he kills you all," a raspy voice said and they all turned to see Alma one of the Maganacs approach the scene. He was a short but thin man with a scar on his right cheek from an accident years ago. He stood walking with a cane since he no longer can use one of his legs very well. He wore some old traveling clothes used by the nomads of Arabia. "You are scaring him and he feels threatened step away from the cockpit and let him out." He said, "But sir he have to escort him to the conference room but he won't cooperate. "Then I suggest let the kids handle it," he said and stepping aside to let Justin, Jimmy and Steven walk up to the cockpit.
"Charlie?" someone said gently and the wolf demon ceased growling to stare at the person outside of the cockpit. The red hair and fox tail swished wildly behind him and his Preventer's uniform stood out and the boy looked stunned when he saw this, "Justin?" he asked, "Yes Charlie it is me Duo is fine so you can come out they are not going to hurt you," he said beckoning him the wolf slowly walked out and stared at the three gathered around him. Carefully they sniffed each others faces to get their scent. "Ewww gross don't let me see that again with boys," said one of the girl mechanics that worked there. "They are demons," another said, "They are picking up each other's scent not kissing." Alma nodded, "It is common among different animals that they do this to identify each other so that way they know who is who," and with that the tech was struck dumb from that new discovery.
The Shadow Assassins where excited that a companion returned to them and they were catching up with old times. Charlie was the only one who was quiet, "Charlie what is wrong?" Justin said sensing his brother's discomfort, "Where is Duo?" he asked, "Oh Duo he is in sick bay they are looking over him. It looks like you where healed a bit but Duo is still weak what happened?" the fox asked and Charlie told them what had happened between them and Moro till the time they spent with the Native Americans. When Charlie mentioned Moro's host's name the gundam pilots went pale with shock. "What?" Charlie said, "You don't know who Heero Yuy is?" Steven asked and Charlie shook his head, "Duo only told me very little about him because he was still getting over the fact that he is a hanyou now," Charlie replied.
"Charlie Heero Yuy is the one who saved this world from destruction while we where locked in ice." Jimmy said, "Yea and he piloted Wing Zero I know who you guys where talking about," he said casually waving his hand, "Then why did you say that you knew little," Jimmy screamed at him, "That is because I do not trust anyone ever since I was locked up in a prison cell since the day I woke up from the ice," he growled and Jimmy backed away. "We are sorry for that Charlie I really are and we are going to get those assholes for what they did to us especially Mart and kick their ass for it; like she would have done for us; just like before." Justin said cracking his knuckles, "Justin you have no idea how powerful Mart really is I do because I have seen it. You fought her true but that was not with Heero Yuy as a host and from what Duo and Zero told me her powers combined with Heero's skills as an assassin is going to be really tough. I mean I barely had time to escape, and if it wasn't for Kouga then I would have been dead by now," he said and at the mention of the wolf demon everyone fell silent and stared. "Kouga?" Wufei asked, "Yea he is the wolf demon who helped me but he is a ghost." Charlie said folding his arms to the surprise of the others.
"You can speak to ghosts as well Charlie?" Justin asked and the wolf nodded, "This is very strange to us," said Trowa, "I mean look at you four talking to ghosts and getting strange messages from them. They teach you skills that you have never seen and yet they are still not satisfied with just one of you," the four demons nodded, "From what Kouga told me we have a mission if we are going to end this once and for all," Charlie said, "We can talk about it in private," said Quatre speaking up for the first time, "Why," Wufei asked, "Because I think with all these supernatural beings running around don't you think that one of them just might spy on us," he stated the fact and they all nodded, "Some of them can hide their smell." Wufei added, "As well as disguise themselves as humans like these four right here," he said pointing to them, "So how do we make sure that we are not spied on?" Quatre added pointing to Wufei, "I can put wards around the place so that way they can't follow," Wufei said and pulled out some paper wards. The shadow Assassins nodded, "The thing is where we are going to meet?"
They all stood around Duo's bed Wufei and Justin made sure that no one is watching by putting scared scrolls (Don't know what they are called) all on the door the windows and all over the place and put a spell of privacy. "So let me get this straight," said Duo who had awoken now feeling a bit better, "Those scrolls have magic in them that prevents any electronic stuff from tapping into this room as well as other magical spells," and with the nod of the two sorcerers the sighed, "First demons and now magic and Wufei is some kind of sorcerer what is this world coming to." He said sighing again and they all laughed at the joke. "Let's get to business then," Quatre said turning to Charlie, "You said that the spirit that talked to you told you to do something what was it that was so important Charlie." Quatre said with a stern voice and Charlie only met his challenge with a growl. "Go ahead buddy tell them," Duo encouraged and Charlie nodded, "Kouga told me that to defeat Ellison or Naraku for that is his real name we need the help of two legendary swords," at this everyone was silent, "Two magical swords?" Jimmy said breaking the silence. "Yea that is what I said we need the help of two magical swords created for dog demons," he explained and it was then that he got even more stares, "Um Charlie incase you have not noticed we don't have any dog demons with us," Justin said sarcastically, "I know that that is why we have to get the swords," Charlie replied,
"Why are these swords so important that they can be used to destroy Naraku or Ellison if you call?" said Jimmy, "Because they have a lot of power to them that is why," said Charlie, "I do not get it?" Steven said and everyone turned to look at him instead, "What?" "Never mind," Charlie said, "Anyways the swords where forged 1000 years ago in the late 1500's during the feudal era in Japan. They where created by a dog demon for his sons so that way they can't kill each other. They where half brothers that hated each other with a passion that even puts Oz and the Earth Sphere to shame. Anyways both brothers one half demon the other full demon actually killed each other in the great demon war." Charlie then finished and it left everyone with blanks stares everyone that is except for two people, "You are the second person that said something about a demon war," Wufei said looking at Justin, "Justin had dreams about it and how bloody the battle had been." Wufei then explained how on their journey to gather the rest of the assassins that Justin continued to have the strange dreams about Shippo and the battle that he fought, "You know what I think?" Charlie said and they all turned to him, "I think that those ghosts are very angry that this Naraku or Mark Ellison that you all are after is not even a human. What we are dealing with is a demon a very old demon and it will take all of us to put an end to this." Charlie said putting his fist into his hand like a baseball player ready to pitch the ball.
"The question remains though," Jimmy said, "What?" asked Quatre, "Who is Mark Ellison I mean we have only been awake for so long and we don't know what is going on completely." Jimmy replied and they all turned to the gundam pilots. "Well I think I will explain," said Duo and the boys turned to the braided pilot, "You see there was a series of wars that devastated the entire world. I mean there are still more people out there starving now then back in your time," Duo then explained about the origins of the Eve Wars and the wars after that and when the whole mess with the Avengers got started. If we aren't always bickering between Earth and the Colonies then this whole mess would never had happened." Duo sighed as he leaned back on the bed and Charlie looked up at him worriedly. "Don't worry buddy all this pressure and pain is making me exhausted after all. All I want to do is relax for once and maybe start a family." He said smiling, "We all do but that is never going to happen as long as this war is going on." Duo said and everyone nodded in agreement, "The real question remains though," Trowa asked as he turned to everyone, "Where are the swords? They can't still be in Japan for all these years?" Trowa asked and it was then that they saw Charlie in thought, "Kouga said to look at a place called the Higurashi Shrine it is located in the Tokyo Prefecture he said to start there," and after a thought he then added, "The swords are called Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga."
After much explaining the hours had gone by and planning for the mission to Japan had worn everyone out. While the wards remained around Duo's room they all returned to their own rooms Charlie wanted to remain with Duo. While this was going on in the hanger something was happening to the Wing Zero Gundam. Slowly it started to hack its way into the computer systems of the Preventer Base for the release to the latches that held it. As loud as it can get the latches where released and slowly the gundam made its way along the runway towards the entrance to the base.
Blazing alarms alerted Charlie to the approach of trouble as his head reared up in a flash. Turning he noticed that Duo was still asleep. He slowly walking out with a promise to return Charlie then headed down the halls to see what is going on. He saw the many Preventers running down the long hallways and different smells came in all sides making Charlie a little dizzy so he took another way around. Leaping up he ran over the heads of many staff members and ran in the direction they where going.
Many complaints and headaches later he arrived at the control room. The room itself is very luminous with various computers and stuff thrown about as technicians ran a muck around the room. "What is going on?" Charlie asked and one tech turned around, "Sorry to disturb you sir but the Wing Zero is gone," she said and Charlie gasp, "What the fuck?" he murmured to himself as he watch the video tapes recording what was happening. He saw them in a panic and decided to do something about it. "Track where that gundam is going!" he called out to one man who looked like he is the radar expert. "Why do we have to listen to a kid like you?" one man said as he came up, "Because this kid nearly killed the human race that is why. Now someone get a tracking on that gundam before I decide to eat you all for dinner." He threatened and made his eyes turn red in the process causing everyone to run and do as they where told.
The men in charge with tracking the gundam down manage to get a reading and report it to Charlie, "Good now see if you can get a visual on the cockpit and someone else get me a trajectory on where the gundam is heading." He commanded and the staff got to work listening to his orders.
Quatre winner ran in with Trowa and Wufei just in time to see Charlie giving orders that Quatre himself would have done. The boy's tail wagged wildly with irritation as he gave out orders that where to be followed. Just as that happened the other Shadow Assassins decided to show up and watch as well. "Well looks like Charlie got things under control," said Justin smirking as the fox walked up to his brother, "What is going on?" he asked, "We got a gundam on the loose and it is heading directly to the base that Duo and I escaped from," he said and Justin was wide awake with shock, "What the fuck?" he cursed just as the others caught up and Charlie explained to them what had happened. Quatre resumed control from him immediately, "Get me a heat signature from the explosion site!" he ordered and the techs got to work, "There is none in the cockpit sir but the landing site or the destination has a heat signature sir." Said the tech and Quatre nodded, "Alright everyone get me a satellite image; NOW!" he ordered and everyone got to work and Steven winced at Quatre's commanding voice. The blond hyena did not see this side of the gundam pilot before but he now knew one thing never piss off Quatre.
Satellite feeds where coming in by the second as they got images of the gundam picking up something and heading back to the astonishments of some of the people. "I am picking up a signal sir," on tech said on the radar, "It is from the Zero sir in text format wishing permission to come in threw the same gate that it exited from," he said, "Give it clearance but I want security there on the double," Quatre ordered and the tech complied. As the tech doted down the data the gundam began to slow down as it approached the landing strip.
Security as well as the gundam pilots and shadow assassins ran into the hangar to await the arrival of the Zero as they waited the gundam touched down and began to walk towards where it left. Having found the spot it latched itself on to the refueling lines again and was quiet. Jimmy being the faster of the security forces rushed to the opening and pressed the button for the latch. Slowly the cockpit opened and Jimmy got first hand the smell of blood. Thanks to his excellent vision in the dark he smelled the cockpit and was surprised to find that the smell was really strong. "Guys we need a medical unit here this guy is really hurt!" he said and Wufei called on his walkie talkie. A medical unit rushed immediately over to the sight and waited for further orders. Jimmy had to ask the other demons for help since they did not know what was in there. Slowly Jimmy crawled in to see a man with intense wounds on his body carefully Jimmy sniffed the young man and was not surprised when the man's eyes shot up and he tried to grab Jimmy who grabbed first being faster. The man's eyes where tense but Jimmy carefully helped him out even though he was struggling.
Once he was outside though was a different story. For starters the man was completely naked with long dark brown hair that covered the majority of his back. The second part was all the hideous wounds on his body. There was a silence in the crowd as the medical units took him away to the confusion of three of the shadow assassins. "Who was that guy?" Jimmy asked, as they took him away followed by the gundam pilots. "That was Heero Yuy Mart's host," said Charlie and they all turned to him in shock.

Now someone get a tracking on that gundam before I decide to eat you all for dinner." He threatened and made his eyes turn red in the process causing everyone to run and do as they where told.
The men in charge with tracking the gundam down manage to get a reading and report it to Charlie, "Good now see if you can get a visual on the cockpit and someone else get me a trajectory on where the gundam is heading." He commanded and the staff got to work listening to his orders.
Quatre winner ran in with Trowa and Wufei just in time to see Charlie giving orders that Quatre himself would have done. The boy's tail wagged wildly with irritation as he gave out orders that where to be followed. Just as that happened the other Shadow Assassins decided to show up and watch as well. "Well looks like Charlie got things under control," said Justin smirking as the fox walked up to his brother, "What is going on?" he asked, "We got a gundam on the loose and it is heading directly to the base that Duo and I escaped from," he said and Justin was wide awake with shock, "What the fuck?" he cursed just as the others caught up and Charlie explained to them what had happened. Quatre resumed control from him immediately, "Get me a heat signature from the explosion site!" he ordered and the techs got to work, "There is none in the cockpit sir but the landing site or the destination has a heat signature sir." Said the tech and Quatre nodded, "Alright everyone get me a satellite image; NOW!" he ordered and everyone got to work and Steven winced at Quatre's commanding voice. The blond hyena did not see this side of the gundam pilot before but he now knew one thing never piss off Quatre.
Satellite feeds where coming in by the second as they got images of the gundam picking up something and heading back to the astonishments of some of the people. "I am picking up a signal sir," on tech said on the radar, "It is from the Zero sir in text format wishing permission to come in threw the same gate that it exited from," he said, "Give it clearance but I want security there on the double," Quatre ordered and the tech complied. As the tech doted down the data the gundam began to slow down as it approached the landing strip.
Security as well as the gundam pilots and shadow assassins ran into the hangar to await the arrival of the Zero as they waited the gundam touched down and began to walk towards where it left. Having found the spot it latched itself on to the refueling lines again and was quiet. Jimmy being the faster of the security forces rushed to the opening and pressed the button for the latch. Slowly the cockpit opened and Jimmy got first hand the smell of blood. Thanks to his excellent vision in the dark he smelled the cockpit and was surprised to find that the smell was really strong. "Guys we need a medical unit here this guy is really hurt!" he said and Wufei called on his walkie talkie. A medical unit rushed immediately over to the sight and waited for further orders. Jimmy had to ask the other demons for help since they did not know what was in there. Slowly Jimmy crawled in to see a man with intense wounds on his body carefully Jimmy sniffed the young man and was not surprised when the man's eyes shot up and he tried to grab Jimmy who grabbed first being faster. The man's eyes where tense but Jimmy carefully helped him out even though he was struggling.
Once he was outside though was a different story. For starters the man was completely naked with long dark brown hair that covered the majority of his back. The second part was all the hideous wounds on his body. There was a silence in the crowd as the medical units took him away to the confusion of three of the shadow assassins. "Who was that guy?" Jimmy asked, as they took him away followed by the gundam pilots. "That was Heero Yuy Mart's host," said Charlie and they all turned to him in shock.
