{Start of Chapter}
Chapter Eighteen
Standing in the doorway of the cell was none other than the famous, Relena Peacecraft. Her brownish-blonde hair was pulled back into a thick braid and she wore a pure, black, body suit. Over her left breast was a symbol of a B over an A in the middle of a circle.
A growl left both Marquis and Raven. Their eyes glared at the girl coldly. The blonde walked up to Heero and grinned, standing only inches from his chained body. A finger tipped his chin up so she gazed into his eyes.
"Too bad. You were always a cute one. I'm really sorry it had to end this way Hee-chan." she whispered.
She turned swiftly, her braid smacking him in the face and she walked up towards Raven, causing everyone to tense. Her soft, smile turned to a cold smirk.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Miss Tenshi, leader of Colony L7. You should've joined the alliance when you had the chance. You and those Colonies wouldn't be in this predicament." the supposed-pacifist said.
"No. If I would've choked down my emotions, the Colonies wouldn't be in this predicament." Raven shot back.
Relena growled and slapped Raven, with the back of her hand, across the face. The group heard Marquis growl.
"If you would've stayed on the Colony when I came for a conference, I wouldn't have done what I did." the blonde retorted slyly, leaving almost everyone confused.
Raven lunged against the chains and head-butted Relena, a loud pop was heard as the cartilage in her nose popped. The former-princess let out a slight cry and stepped back, holding her bloody nose.
"When I get out of here Peacecraft, you wont live to see the sunset." the Galactic Soldier spat as she pulled against the chains more.
Relena slapped her again and then pulled out a sleek, clean and new looking dagger. Slamming the energy deprived girl against the wall, and holding her there, she placed the dagger along the scar around her eye.
"It's a pity. He was cute but he just got in my way of delivering a message." Relena whispered to the captive one.
She ran the tip of the dagger down the cheek of Raven, causing a searing, hot sting fill the captive's body. Relena's eyes followed as the trail of blood ran down the girl's neck and smirked. She forcefully kissed the pain-filled girl with lust.
Disgust ran through Raven's body and mind, as she heard growls coming from Marquis and Heero. She had to get out of here, she had to get them out of here. They couldn't see what is going to happen. She felt so weak, and a sneer left her as the princess pulled back, cutting the black, tank top. Raven felt a wave of anger as she saw her favorite tank top fall to the ground in pieces. That soon ended when the tip of the dagger, lightly ran down her exposed cleavage.
Raven's mind then cleared of all thought just as the princess kissed her lips again. She smirked against the other girl's lips, causing her to pull back curiously. Raven's smirk stayed as she looked back. The dark girl winked at the princess before seemingly evaporating in thin air.
Before anyone could stop or say anything, a loud crack was heard as Relena's head was twisted to the left quickly. Her body fell to the ground just as Raven's body appeared. She was breathing slight heavily, but ignored it and turned to see the old man gone. She shrugged and began unlocking the chains around the other's with Relena's dagger.
"What caused you to snap?" Marquis asked, rubbing his wrists as his eyes ran over her bloody arms and wrists.
The cuts from the cuffs were deep but she didn't care.
"I rather not talk about it, ok Marquis?" the darker girl replied, bending down to pick up her discarded top.
A sigh left her lips and shook her head. Shrugging she dropped the shredded top and stood up. She reached in one of her many pocket and pulled out her gun.
"Let's get out of here." Raven growled out.
The group nodded and they ran through the endless corridors. Marquis then remember something.
"What about..."
"Don't worry. If my calculations are correct, we will meet outside. It wont be pretty." the girl interrupted.
They found their way out of the base, and running across the large field, Raven behind everyone, running at a slower pace. Everyone was at the SF2, except for Raven. They turned to see her standing there, looking at something that approached.
"Shade!" Missy called out.
The girl simply put up a hand lazily, as if to tell them that she heard her. That's when they noticed another person. It was Lily.
Her long, blonde hair was pulled into two, braided buns like Raven's. Her dark, sapphire blue eyes were vacant of emotion. They noticed Raven's hands were clenched into white-knuckled fists and she took a step back slightly.
"Damn it." the group heard Marquis whisper.
Lily pulled out a gun and aimed it at the black haired girl. That's when Trowa and Heero realized they looked exactly alike, except for the light and dark hair contrast. Raven sighed and pulled out her prized gun and aimed it at her.
They watched for five, anticipating minutes before Lily made the first move. Dropping the gun, they both lunged at each other. Punches and kicks were thrown, only to be matched equally.
"Why are they fighting?" Lin demanded.
Lily had gotten a punch in only to be kicked in the stomach. They stepped away from each other, and they noticed Raven was saying something. Lily growled and lunged at the girl, who dodged it by ducking and moving to the side. Raven's lips were still moving and she kept dodging Lily's punches and kicks. Lily dropped to the ground and did a sweep-kick. Raven jumped just in time to hear a loud crack of thunder. The dark girl winced in pain and landed on the ground in a crouched position, seeing a smoking gun sitting in Lily's hands.
Raven growled and her lips moved again. Another crackle was heard as a bullet shot out of the sleek, metal gun. Raven's hand went up to her right shoulder but her lips continued to move. Lily walked over and kicked the injured girl to the ground. Placing a foot at the girl's neck, Lily pointed a gun at the girl. Two gunshots were heard and they watched as Lily's body crumbled onto Raven's, the dark girl catching the older woman in an embrace. The gun she used laying beside her forgotten.
Marquis surprised the group by jumping out of the SF2 and ran over to them. It seemed as though Raven wouldn't let go of Lily. The others followed, some angry.
"WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WHERE YOU THINKING?" Missy yelled as the dark haired girl hugged the bloody, body close.
"Rae...." a soft voice cracked, "you kept your promise like always. I'm sorry you had to do this again."
Heero watched as Raven hugged the body closer, her eyes clouded with something familiar.
"Lily..." Raven started, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I tried so hard."
Raven seemed to wince at something, but her grip on the dying girl never wavered.
"I...love you. Tell...the rest of the....Inner...Cir..." the girl's voice broke off, and her body went lax.
"Lily!" Raven begged, shaking the body, "come on. You promised. Why am I the only one who keeps their promises? You said you wouldn't leave me alone. You promised that you wouldn't leave me alone."
The usually cold soldier winced again in pain as her eyes clouded more. Her eyes closed, and something happened that caused them to gasp. A single, crystal, clear tear rolled down her cheek before her body collapsed on top of the dead girl.
Marquis picked the bodies up and carried them to the SF2. Lying them down on the floor, in the back of the jet, he stood up and started the jet, getting the engine warmed up. Slowly the group climbed into the jet, recent events playing through their minds as if it was on replay.
"GREAT! The stupid motor is overheated." Marquis said from the cockpit.
To their surprise, Raven slowly stood up, her body shaking. She stumbled her way to the cockpit and sat on Marquis's lap, causing Heero to glare harshly. Raven leaned over the control and began plugging in things. She sighed and stood up, placing a hand on Marquis's shoulder.
"Wait here." the words left her mouth in a voice.
She walked out of the plane and climbed on the wing. Carefully, and flinching, she climbed up on the top of the jet. She walked over to the engines and began playing around with random wires. Stepping back she opened a secret compartment, on the top of the jet, and an entire computerized contraption was seen. Plugging in a few numbers at lightning fast speed, she stood up, shutting the compartment.
Climbing back into the cabin she walked to the cockpit. She motioned for Marquis to get out, which the man complied with, and she took the seat.
"I'm giving you all one warning. If you have ever experienced my driving first hand as a passenger, I warn you. I fly the same way I drive." she informed.
She hit a few buttons and touched sapphire stud in her earlobe. A strange contraption appeared, covering the right side of her face. Her right eye was covered by a black, transparent glass, which was then linked with a headphone that covered her right ear. A black microphone hovered inches from her ruby, red lips and was also linked to the headphone.
A flash of silver appeared on the glass before disappearing. Silver letters appeared over the glass.
"Galactic Soldier, Shade. Inner Circle Member ID, 01." she said, her voice a monotone.
Silver letters filled the screen over her eyes causing her to nod to herself.
"Yes. Emergency, Code Green. We have a casualty on board. Inner Circle Member ID, 03. Galactic Soldier, Corona. Bullet wound, and multiple injections had been put on the body. Now let's get back home. Colony L7, hanger." she said.
A flash of silver covered the screen and the jet roared to life before blasting off, out of the atmosphere. The flight became tense the closer to the Colony they became. Raven had abandoned the cockpit, putting it on autopilot. She sat next to the stiff, cold body that laid in the back. Her hand ran through the thinning hair.
"Time to face the music." she whispered as a silver flash and words went up on the screen.
Raven nodded and stood up. Taking back the controls, they arrived at the hanger. Missy was first out, followed by Lin, Trowa, Quatre, Heero, and Marquis. Jacarei stood there gazing up at them with wonder.
It slowly disappeared and was replaced by sorrow as Raven walked out, carrying the dead body of his fiancee. Jacarei ran up and took the ice, cold body from Raven's hands, glaring at her.
Raven forced a soft smile before turning on her heel and running out of the room.
"Marquis? What happened?" Jacarei asked, his face buried in the blonde, locks of his would've-been-wife.
"Same thing as to what happened to Andre. She wasn't the only casualty. Relena Peacecraft was killed as well." Marquis replied, calmly.
Tears stopped as Jacarei looked up confused.
"She would never hurt a government official. So why Peacecraft?" he asked the older man.
"I don't know. She said something that pulled at Rae's strings." the black haired man replied, before walking in the same direction Raven had gone in.
Jacarei sat there, hugging Lily's body close, the others staying to comfort the crying man.
