Chapter 6: Return Home- part 2
Cairbre slipped in to Aiko's room silently, so not to wake her. He placed the note he had written on the nightstand next to Aiko. Then he bent down and placed a light kiss on her cheek. "I love you." Was all Cairbre could think of saying. Cairbre returned to his room surveyed it and made sure that he had not left anything behind. He made sure that he had cleaned the room, and made the bed. When Cairbre was walking out the door he made a promise to himself not to look back. But, when he had reached the end of the yard he broke his promise and turned around for a last look. God, I am going to miss this place thought Cairbre, but I have to take care of this thing now.
When Cairbre reached the nearest town he called for a cab to take him to the airport where the Highlander was waiting. When Cairbre got onto the ship he saw that Duncan was already there.
"Has there been any word from home?" asked Cairbre nervously.
"Not that I am aware of." said Duncan.
"Good, Good." said Cairbre distractedly. Maybe he hasn't killed anyone yet. Or maybe he won't kill anyone until he has faced me? HA! Unlikely. But what has come back for?
Back at the Kasshu Mansion.
Aiko stirred in her sleep. Then she woke with a start. "What a weird dream. I wonder if Cairbre is okay." Aiko got up and put her kimono on and slipped out of her room. When she arrived at Cairbre's door, she put her ear to the door and listened. She did not hear a sound coming from his room. She didn't even hear the sound of Cairbre's breathing. Starting to worry Aiko opened Cairbre's door a crack and peeked in to the room. Everything looks okay. Aiko opened the door even more and went in. Cairbre wasn't there! "Cairbre?" no answer. "If this is some kind of joke I am going to kill you!" still no answer. Aiko opened the closet; there was nothing in it. She even went outside onto the balcony and looked in the garden where they had made love. He wasn't there either. Maybe he just went for a walk. I'll wait for him in my room. When Aiko returned to her room she saw a note on the nightstand it read:
"To My Dearest Aiko: By the time you read this I will be gone. I had to return home on an important personal matter. Don't follow me. I will always
love you.
With the Utmost Love
Cairbre." It was a short letter but it hurt Aiko so much. Why had he told her not to follow him? What kind of personal matter was it? So many questions flooded Aiko's head. Why had he not told her? She had to sit down. The letter was rattling in her shaking hands. A single tear fell from her eye and hit the paper. Then another. Soon Aiko was crying. A sleepy Toshi walked in to his sister's room to see what the problem was.
"Why are you crying?" asked a sleepy and concerned Toshi.
Wiping her eyes and trying to keep her voice steady as she could "Its Cairbre, Toshi, he left earlier."
"Where did he go?" asked a now wide awake Toshi, eyes brimming with tears.
"He said he had to go home and take care of something."
"What?"
"I don't know."
By this time both of them had began to cry. Toshi was wailing about how it wasn't fair, Cairbre shouldn't have left with out telling them. Aiko was comforting her brother as best as she could, her own silent tears were running down her face. Why Cairbre? Why? Toshi's anguished wails brought his mother running down the hall from her and Dolmon's room.
"Toshi, what's wrong, honey?" Rain asked her little boy.
Before Toshi could answer Aiko gave Rain Cairbre's letter. Rain read the letter quickly stifled a gasp with her hand. Rain gave her daughter a look that asked if she could show the letter to Dolmon. Aiko gave a small nod. Rain rushed out of the room and down the hall to where Dolmon was just getting out of bed irritably.
"What the hell is going on at this hour of the morning." Asked an irate Dolmon. Just then Rain held out the letter. Dolmon snatched it from her in irritation. Before he could read the letter he had to get his reading glasses. "Damn, I hate these things." He grumbled. After he got his glasses on he read the letter once and then read it again. Dolmon looked from his wife to his daughter then back to Rain. Then he got up and went to Cairbre's room, looked in and saw the condition of the room and had to stifle a laugh. Dolmon returned to his room and came back out a few moments later dressed in his usual attire.
"And just where do you think your going Dolmon?" Asked Rain in consternation.
"I am going after him." Said Dolmon flatly.
"I am coming with you daddy!" Cried out Aiko.
"Okay. Just stay out the way." Said Dolmon. Turning to his son "Toshi, take care of your mom while I am away?"
"Y-yes s-sir." Said Toshi between sniffles and sobs.
"Aiko, get ready." Said Dolmon.
"Okay, daddy!" said Aiko, she ran to her room and began to pack quickly.
Somewhere Over the British Isles
"Sir," came the captain's voice over the loud speaker, "We are now entering Scottish air space."
"How much longer?" asked a sleepy Duncan, who had just woken up.
"Not much longer, we're over Scotland now. So it should be a few minutes now." Said an anxious Cairbre. Cairbre begin to absently finger the scar on his back. Why the hell has Sean come back?
At the Brogan Estate
The Highlander began its final decent to the air field next to Brogan Castle. There was a slight squeal as the tires touched the pavement of the landing strip. The Highlander taxied into the hanger at the far end of the estate.
When Cairbre got off the Highlander he saw a figure standing at the pinnacle of the highest tower.
"Duncan, hand me the binoculars." said Cairbre with a touch of worry in his voice. As he looked through the binoculars he knew what he was going to see. "Damn. It's him."
Sean Brogan jumped down from the turret's roof onto another turret and proceeded down from the roofs in that fashion. The whole time with an evil grin on his face, the grin that had been haunting Cairbre's dreams for ten years.
"You have done quite well for your self little brother." Said Sean grinning that malicious grin of his.
"And what would you care?" snapped Cairbre angrily, "Haven't you done enough damage already! I had to bury our parents because of you!"
"Are you still carrying that mill stone around your neck dear brother?"
"Damn right I am! YOU KILLED THEM!"
"All in the pursuit of power little brother, all for power."
"What power could be so great that you killed our parents for?" asked an infuriated Cairbre.
"A power that had vanished thirty years ago. That resurfaced here ten years ago."
"Y-You can't mean the Dark Gundam? It was destroyed!"
"Not quite." As Sean said this, the ground beneath them began to shake. What came out of the ground shocked, awed and appalled him. It was the head unit of the DG. Something he had only heard in tales. "So little brother, do you like it? I have mastered the DG so it only obeys me." As Sean said this he made a motion with his arm, bringing it down in a sweeping motion. In perfect unison with Sean the Dark Gundam raised its arm and brought it down right were Cairbre was standing.
When Cairbre saw the DG raise its massive arm, Cairbre dove to the right and rolled back up to his feet. "RISE GAIA GUNDAM!" yelled Cairbre to activate his Gundam unit. As soon as the cockpit had cleared the transport unit's hull Cairbre jumped in and activated the MTS. "All systems green Gaia Gundam ready for combat" came the automated response from Gaia Gundam's main computer.
"So little brother wants to have a Gundam fight? Fine then! GO DARK GUNDAM!" Sean jumped into the Dark Gundam's cockpit. Over the Brogan Estate
"Daddy! You had better look at this!" shouted Aiko from her seat in the airplane.
"What is it Aiko?" asked Dolmon. He wasn't to terribly interested in what his daughter had said, but her tone made him curious. It's probably just some land formation. After all she hasn't been to Scotland or any other country outside of the major Gundam team's countries. Thought Dolmon, but when he looked out the window in front of his daughter what he saw took the breath from his lungs "No.....It can't be! Impossible! I destroyed it thirty years ago!" Dolmon had just seen the thing that had haunted his nightmares thirty years ago. The Dark Gundam had risen again. "DAMNIT!"
On the ground
Sean swinged a right hook at his brother's Gundam's head. Cairbre dodged the blow. But when he did he looked up and saw a plane above them with the emblem of the Kasshu family.
"Oh shit. I told them not to come." Said Cairbre, his face paling at the sight of the plane.
Just then Sean happened to look up too. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? That is Dolmon Kasshu if I am not mistaken. What would bring a legendary Gundam fighter here? Could it be his daughter's attraction to my little brother maybe?"
"Sean, I swear if you do anything to Dolmon or any of his family I will KILL you."
"Well now, I seem to have touched a nerve with you brother, haven't I?" Sean looked up at the plane which was heading to the landing strip. "I think I will have some more fun." As Sean said this the Dark Gundam's eyes began to glow red and twin lasers shot from the Dark Gundam. The lasers hit the plane's engines sending it in a downward spiral.
"SHIT!" Said Cairbre as he saw the lasers hit their target with deadly efficiency, he dove toward the plane and deftly caught it. He set it down carefully not wanting to hurt anyone inside. Cairbre spun on his older brother, drew his sword and lunged at him. But, Sean was prepared for such an attack and parried each blow, then with a mighty swing, punched his brother sending him flying across the estate. The Gaia Gundam hit the ground with an earth shaking thud. Cairbre feeling the force of the blow thanks to the MTS struggled to get back to his feet. When he did he saw the Burning Gundam. It's Dolmon! Thank God! Now Sean doesn't stand a chance! But right behind Dolmon's Burning Gundam came a smaller Gundam. I wonder who that is? As soon as Cairbre thought this his question was answered as Aiko's face appeared in a comm. screen
"Cairbre are you okay?" asked Aiko in concern.
"I'm fine, but what are you doing here? I told you to stay in Japan where you were safe!" Said Cairbre with a touch of anger in his voice. Aiko's face blanched as she heard the anger.
"We came to help you, stubborn, headstrong fool." Said Dolmon as he landed the Burning Gundam next to Gaia Gundam.
"I don't need your help." Said Cairbre as he lunged at the DG. Seconds before he hit the DG, one of its multiple tentacles struck his Gundam's arm sending him flying across the estate. Cairbre hit the ground with a deafening slam. As he stood up he did a system check, everything was fine, and he looked up just in time to see the DG had just fired more lasers. Not having time to dodge Cairbre braced for impact, but when the blast should have hit him nothing happened, he looked up and saw a third Gundam. He recognized the Gundam as the one that used to belong to Rain.
Dolmon knew he shouldn't have brought Rain's old Gundam with them, but Aiko insisted. Aiko stood in front of Cairbre when the DG fired, the blast hit the cockpit.
"CAIRBRE! IT'S AIKO SHE'S IN RAIN'S GUNDAM!" screamed Dolmon.
"What?" said Cairbre, then in an almost inaudible whisper, "no."
Just as the Gundam began to fall Cairbre rushed over and caught it in his arms. The cockpit had taken the hit directly on with no shielding what so ever.
"I'm not getting any vitals from the cockpit!" Said Dolmon quietly. C'mon Aiko you can't die you just can't
Cairbre lifts the limp Gundam in his arms and places it on the ground away from Sean's reach, then he reached in and carefully extracted Aiko's limp body out of the smoldering cockpit and laid her on the ground next to the Gundam. Then with silent tears of sorrow and rage pouring down his face he turned and faced his brother, rage boiling inside of him. "Dolmon, take Akio away from here" Cairbre said this in a deathly quiet voice.
Silently Dolmon kneeled next his daughter's body and exited his Gundam, picked her up and carried her back into his Gundam, and flew off. As he did, the energy readouts on the Gaia Gundam all the sudden sky rocketed.
As Cairbre faced his brother, several hidden panels on the armor of the Gaia Gundam opened, as the ones on the back of the Gundam opened and a set of wings spread from the openings, as the Gundam itself began to change it lost all color becoming white as freshly fallen snow.
Hehe don't you just hate me for leaving it a cliffhanger? Anyway the whole alliance is going to be in the next one. And we'll see the Super form of the Gaia Gundam which is called the Divine Gaia Gundam. All in Chapter Six: ENTER THE DIVINE GAIA!
