Gundam Wing: Dancing the WALTZ
Transmission Five: Family Matters
A shuttle pulled in at a meteor base some where within the far reaches of WALTZ space. The ten, now fully uniformed Gundam pilots, walked from their space shuttle and looked around the large shuttle bay. It was filled with people in the same corny dark red uniform. They didn't get much hassle when Heero showed the man on the shuttle his ID card that registered him as a WALTZ conspirator. They looked at the other nine trailing behind and figure they were with him. So they managed to get on the base with out having to show an ID card, which Heero had conveniently forgot to give them. Of course they didn't complain. He gave them their cards once they were on the base.
Now that they were here they had to be real careful, this was the base were the WALTZ's head honcho was staying. That meant more guards, meaning more ears to hear a slip of the tongue along with more eyes to see a wrong action.
"So here's the plan," Heero whispered to them as they all gathered around him, "We need to find out where in this damn rock that lunatic is staying. I found us all posts that would spread us all over this place keep low and listen around and don't forget to ask things. Don't do anything that would give away who you are and as soon as you find out about where that idiot is report back to me and or anybody who is near by, chain reaction kind of thing."
They all nodded. "Sounds good to me," Duo smiled.
Heero passed out slips of paper telling them where to go and what they were doing. So with that done and said they ten went on their merry ways.
Three days past without incident, except the minor things that were common to the human tendency. Like Mau for example, she was late, and Quatre, he actually did his work... right. Everyone razzed him for that; after all they were going to destroy the organization, no need doing to work 100%. Quatre didn't think that was funny.
That night while Heero was going to the mess hall a girl bumped into him. They quickly said they were sorry before going along their way. Kirstain blinked she caught a glimpse of the man's face before he went on. She cursed lightly under her breath before jogging away. The Gundam pilots had been here? How long she wondered, and more importantly, what had they found out?
##
"So anybody got anything?" Heero asked as he sat down with a sandwich.
"Nothing over in engineering," Duo sighed as he bit in to his burger.
Jade poked at her salad, then she spoke, "Nobody seems to know where he is."
"You find anything Quatre?" Heero asked the blond who was sipping his tea. He quickly shook his head; "They tend to question me if I start reading the documents."
"Well this isn't working..." Jo grumbled.
"Learn patience McCaller," Heero snapped at her, "No one said this was GOING to be easy."
"Then why the hell are we here if you KNOW we might fail?" she hissed at him.
"Because there is a chance that we WON'T!" Heero hissed right back, "Who's got more field experience?"
Jo Glared, "Okay, okay, I get the picture jackass."
"Battle of the wills..." Dhirdre muttered to no one in particular. Duo answered back, "Think it's because they're both labeled 01?"
Dhirdre chuckled, "Maybe... "
"How nice of you all to join us," a man's hand fell on to Heero's shoulder, "You'll be coming with us... all of you."
Nine other men showed up with large guns and pointed it against each one's back.
"Okay, who told?" Ling grumbled eyeing Mau and Duo.
"What?!" Mau asked, "I did not tell so keep your creepy Chinese glare to your self!"
"What she said!" Duo hitched his thumb at Mau.
"Walk," a guard poked his gun against Jo's back shoving her forward. The others soon followed suit and walked forward. They were walking to the cells next to an open area into space. It had a shield that allowed everything but air out and didn't allow anything back in. As they walked in silence the others kept glancing at Heero and Jo. Jo looked highly pissed off, but Heero ever the calm and collected one, looked like he was strolling in the park. The cells were coming into close proximity and some people were starting to panic. Of course this was the time Heero stopped, elbowed his captor in the gut and swiped his feet from out under him.
"Ack!" Trowa and Duo managed to dodge bullet fire. Jo was already shooting at the other people with her handgun, which the guards had forgotten to take away, or she had conveniently hidden. So with in a few seconds the ten were frantically trying to find their way out. Bullet fire erupting everywhere around them.
##
"Damnit!" Kirstain banged her fist on the desk; "He's getting away! I want him dead! TRINITY!"
The oriental girl dashed into the room, "What's up?"
"I want you to go down and kill Heero Yuy and his lackeys. If my father gets away then our operation will be doomed."
"Father? Heero Yuy?" She asked the young girl before her.
"Yes, now move!" Kirstain growled.
"Yes ma'am!" Trinity turned tail and ran down the corridor. As that happened a large explosion rock the base, Kirstain growled more. She pressed a large button and the intercom system clicked on, "All Mobil suits report to your post. Trinity take out Twilight out and kill them!"
Trinity grinned and ran to hanger and there stood the Gundam prototype 0Z- x190. It was the first one of it's kind, it's was the much more improved Talgeese system. The system was stuck in a better body for it's advanced fighting style and weapon array. Marquise was standing there, "Do be careful Trinity, You might find you bit off more than you can chew with this battle."
Trinity nodded, "I will be sure to keep that in mind, my liege."
"Good, then go do as she demanded, I've always wanted to see how this thing fought."
Trinity jumped up in the anti-gravity and floated to the cockpit, it opened and she settled down, strapped in and was ready for departure.
##
"So, like, that was fun!" Duo muttered to him self and rubbed his right shoulder. A guard had managed to scathe his shoulder.
"Crap, scanners picking up multiple dolls heading our way. We've got trouble." Dhirdre flicked on her MS's shield.
"Damn, Looks like we're going to have to fight to get out of here," Wufei muttered, "And go figure we have to fight in these wretched pieces of shit."
"Hey, would you rather be in a passenger shuttle?" Ling asked, "At least these things have weapons."
Jo added, "She has a point."
"No one asked you," Wufei snapped.
"Aren't we all just the loving group?" Quatre asked as he prepared to engage in a fight.
"Makes ya all warm in fuzzy inside, don't it?" Trowa inquired.
"Very," Quatre replied sarcastically.
"They'll be in fire rang in ten seconds," Duo readied his weapons.
"When you get a change, run like hell," Heero said before attacking a mobile suit in hand to hand combat. There was gunfire every where and it was hard as hell to tell whom apart from whom. Every once and a while you got a 'watch who you're shooting at!' or a 'God damn you and your bad aim!' and maybe just a random experlative.
The ten where managing to actually thin out the lines and where very close to getting loose when a another larger and much quicker dot showed up on the radar.
"Yuy, we either brake now, or die later..." Wufei spoke up, "There's a big blip on the radar and I've got a bad feeling about it."
"Halt! Gundam pilots it's time you face Twilight and I, Meiran Trinity!" the oriental girl's face popped up on the public COM line.
"The fuck, Ling! Will you stop that!" Mau bellowed.
"How did you take down your bun with two hands and STIL pilot a MS?" Jade asked noticing the change of hairstyle.
"I didn't..." Ling a girl with a bun on her head replied.
"Then who the hell is that?" Trowa asked. When no reply came over the private link they looked around for her MS, "Ling?"
##
Trinity was not expecting to get rushed so soon and just by one MS. The face was identical to hers and she stared at the screen with complete shock. Ling Meiran and Trinity Meiran were sisters. Twins, identical twins, to be more precise. They grew up in a small town outside Beijing on Earth when they were still little. In the war of AC195 the girls' family was torn apart. The politics took a toll as their parents held very different opinions. Their father was for the unification of the colonies and Earth and their mother wasn't. So Trinity was taken with her mother to live on a colony while Ling and her father reminded on Earth.
Word came that Trinity had died, so how the hell could she be here today? Sitting in a Gundam Prototype and wanting to kill her? Ling wasn't sure but she wasn't going to find out, so she launched her own assault. Not stopping to ask questions she pushed the MS to its max performance.
"Think we should help?" Dhirdre asked watching the battle between the MS and the MSG.
"If we don't want her dead, yes," Jo drawled.
"Alright then. Attack," Heero said it with such enthusiasm you could feel the excitement building up (NOT). When nine more expert MS pilots decided to join in the fray she know understood what Marquise was talking about. Twilight even with all its enhancements and add-ons was no match for ten well trained MS pilots, she was going to lose this battle.
##
Good thing Marquise was watching out for his little pawn or she might not survive, he readied a public COM channel and spoke, "To the Gundam pilots, who are so loved, I have some news that might interest you. If you do not scram now I will detonate the earth and the colonies early. Think off all those lives lost?"
His finger hovered over a large button.
