The Child of Death
09: Arrival
"Relena where are we going," Kies looked out the window the light blue sky was growing darker and darker as they entered space.
"I'm taking you to Koran and the other pilots." Kies's face fell, the grip she held on the cat became tighter, the little girls knuckles turning white.
"But what about mamma, why isn't she here with us?" Kies tried to stand up forgot she was strapped in. Relena placed a calm hand on the little girl, watching as tears began to fill.
--------
Koran stood at the feet of DeathScythe Hell he looked up and watched lights dance there way out of the Gundam. Duo looked at the video tape of the battle field trying to figure out what had happened to him, exactly. He wore no shirt but was covered in bandages and his arm still held the Arm brace. He could not make out the screen his eyes were bad, and from the way the others acted he would be like this for a very long timeMoving from the Gundam, Koran opened the hanger door and walked out, no matter how much he was by his father that same feeling was there, suffering. In the living room Heero and Trowa were looking at the laptop, pointing out various things that caught there eyes. Quatre was not in the room and the open door told him that Wufei was again outside.
"Trowa can you get me a glass?" Koran stood in the kitchen waiting for Trowa to come near but he didn't.
"Uncle Trowa?" Koran called again but nothing, finally giving up he walked to the fridge and opened it grabbing the closest soda.
"Hey Koran, um did Uncle Wufei let you have that?" Quatre had just showed up with what looked like a box of ammunition.
"No, Uncle Trowa wouldn't get me a glass, so I decided to have a soda." Koran drank more from the soda and looked away as if he had done nothing wrong.
"Quatre get the guys we have a message coming in from a shuttle, it says it is for us all but I have a feeling it is Relena." Heero's voice sounded sour, and Quatre went to get the other two.
"This is captain of the PeaceCraft Family shuttle, Doreen Clay, Gundam Pilots please to see you all again." An old man looked at the boys, Quatre smiled, Wufei waved, Trowa and Heero sat a ways away, Koran sat in Duo's lap, Duo's eyes closed.
"Hello there Doreen what do we owe this fine meeting?" asked Quatre feeling sweat drop at the sight of Relena coming in to the pilot area.
"Quatre I'm arriving on earth in two hours, I need you all to meet me at the closest space port to you, but I need you to bring a mobile suite transporter with you." Relena's face held some fear and the five pilots excluding Duo all saw it.
"Relena what is this about?" Wufei stood up hearing a crash from with in the hanger.
"Just do this you will see me on the third floor of the space port. Please make sure you are not followed. I will meet you in two hours." The signal cut off and the screen turned off. Heero had just walked back in signaling it was a false alarm in the hanger.
"What do we do?" The Question caught everyone but Duo who simply got up and was helped up the stares by Koran.
"He needs to rest we will go with out him." Heero and the others went out to ready all there equipment.

"Relena who is that?" Quatre pointed out when he and Trowa met her at the space pot a little girl holding on to her hand. The other two out securing the Gundam.
