The Angel of Darkness
Chapter 3: Captured
Relena pushed through the vent and flipped out, landing silently on the floor. She put the Vent back and quietly as before. She removed her goggles and looked around. She saw a file cabinet. Relena took a single step and the lights turned on. Ming T'ai stood there, smirking. Lady Une was there also.
"It's a set up," Relena whispered.
Heero heard Relena's words right before his line went dead. He heard shuffling behind him and turned around. As he turned, the butt of a gun hit him, breaking his jaw. Heero spat blood and turned and saw the assailant. He scrambled for his gun and before he could do anything, he was shot in the shoulder and the leg. Heero fell in a wave of pain.
Relena stood facing the two women.
"We finally meet, Relena. I've heard a lot about you, and believe me, I was expecting far more than what you have given me," Lady Une said.
"How do you know about me? Who told you about me?" Relena asked. Lady Une smiled as Relena questioned her.
"Ming T'ai, do what you need to do." Lady Une got up. Ming T'ai flexed and Relena got on her guard. In one swift motion, Ming T'ai kicked Relena in her stomach. Relena doubled over and coughed up blood. Ming T'ai got ready to smash Relena on her back when Relena came back up with her fist in an uppercut. Ming T'ai stumbled away.
"That really, really hurt, you bitch. What kind of person hits a girl in her stomach?" Relena asked. She swung at Ming T'ai who grabbed her hand, twirled behind Relena, and elbowed her in the mouth. Relena turned her head. Ming T'ai took this opprotunity to stab Relena with a sedative.
Relena's vision blurred and she stumbled.
"You bitch..." Relena said. She fell to the floor, knocked out.
Heero rolled over and saw his assailant standing over him. The assassin bent down and Heero reached up to try and remove his ski mask. The last thing he remembered was seeing a head of wild brown hair.
"Relena..." he whispered then he passed completely out.
3 years later...
Heero awoke. He was in a bright room with all kinds of IVs attached to him. The walls were painted white with the lights blaring a little too brightly for him. He squinted as he tried to see around him. He slowly sat up, his muscles feeling old. He removed the IVs and stood up. He opened the door just as a woman with sandy hair opened the door. She dropped the pad and paper she was holding and looked at him with astonished eyes.
"Who are you?" Heero managed to croak out.
"You're finally awake."
"Answer my question. Who the hell are you?" Heero asked.
"I am Dr. Sally Po. Zechs brought you to me. The others will be happy to know you are awake."
"How long have I been sleep?"
"For three long years. You have healed nicely and it's good to know that you apparently haven't changed that much."
"Where is Relena?" Heero demanded in his usual monotone. Before Sally could answer, a blond man that bore a strange resemblance to Relena walked in. He had with him a woman of about his same age with purple hair.
"Oh, Zechs. He's awake," the woman gasped. The man known now as Zechs walked forward. Heero looked at him. Heero instantly knew from the way that Zechs was looking at him that they were not going to be the best of friends. He ran a hand through his thick chocolate brown hair.
"Where is Relena?" Heero asked solemnly. Zechs folded his arms.
"There is a lot that you need to catch up on. Follow me," Zechs said in a low voice.
They walked down what appeared to be the infirmary of a large building.
"You never answered my question," Heero said as they entered a large room with a screen in it.
"All in good time, my friend. I bet you want to know what happened in the first place. Well, while you two were on a mission, the info leaked to Lady Une that you two were coming. Relena is fine, I assure, though she is not the same person you remember. Lady Une captured her and turned her into something of her own nature."
"How did the information leak?" Heero said.
"Your benefactors leaked it." Zechs said.
"That can't be true. Why would they do that?"
"Well you were beaten to a pulp and pretty much dead when we found you. Relena was already gone, but her blood was found in the building."
"Where is she? You said Lady Une has her." Zechs turned on the large screen. A picture of Relena popped up. She was wearing an outfit similar Lady Une's and she was smiling. It was quite frightening.
"She's a puppet," Zechs said.
AN: Well, it will start getting really good now. Enjoy.
