Chapter 3- The Struggling Battlefield
Kara: I don't know why you guys left?
Duo: How much farther to the battle Kara?
Kara: 245 kilometers.
Duo: That's too far!
Kara: Not now you're only 244 kilometers.
Heero: We could get there faster if we traveled in the mobile suits. Is
that okay with everyone else?
Trowa: It's fine with me.
Millardo: The faster we get there the better.
Wufie: Then, it's agreed, let's go.
Duo: you sure you guys want to do this?
Quatre: Duo! We have to.
Noin: No time to chat let's go!
Heero: Right.
Everyone jumped into their mobile suits and left the carrier.
*~*
Duo: What are we supposed to do?
Solider: you're a gundam pilot?
Solider: Please help us! Too many of our men are dying.
Heero: Listen up. I divided the battlefield into 7 parts. Millardo will
take the upper left section. Noin you thake the upper right section. Duo
take the left and Quatre take the right. Trowa take the bottem left,
leaving Wufie the bottom right. Now move out!
Duo: Alright! The Grim Reaper has returned.
Wufie: Stop this weak battle.
Quatre: There are too many!
Heero: there's something above us.
Gundam Pilot: I suggest everyone get into the air!
Solider 1: Do as he says!
Quatre: I think we should listen.
Heero: Let's go then.
Gundam Pilot: Beginning countdown. 5,4,3,2,1, Time's up.
The gundam released a huge beam from the buster gun. Most of the mobile
suits were destroyed.
Duo: But how?
Wufie: Impossible!
Trowa: Looks like that is an updated gundam.
Heero: it's plan is kinda similar to Zero's.
Quatre: Identify yourself!
Gundam Pilot: ...I am one who speaks in riddles and no real straight answers.
Duo: Okay? But why in riddles?
Gundam Pilot: The one who wheres a mask is able to take if off when wishes.
Time for my exit.
The gundam releases out a flash flare. Leaving the battlefield full of
light. When the light eventually fades the gundam is gone.
Duo: What the?!?
Heero: he hid his identity well. No traces, no leave behinds.
Millardo: Do you really think that he built that gundam all by himself?
Trowa: By the way he covered his tracks, he obviously did.
Kara: So what happened?
Noin: Are there any more enemies and how many of our men died?
Kara: 0 enemies and 45 men, guess I better prepare the funeral
preparations.
Quatre: You give your soldiers funeral services? Even if you can't find a
body?
Chelsea: Yes, but in honor.
*~*
In a forest nearby, the gundam pilot and the gundam sit there waiting for
the new organizations next move.
Gundam Pilot: My dear friend, when will the battles stop?
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Gundam Wing: (logged in the codes) Gundam Pilot 00 wish to know who is
attempting contact with me.
Computer/Gundam: Your grandfather, Dr. J
Gundam Pilot: Transmission accepted, so what do you want now?
Dr. J" Do you think it was wise for the gundam boys jto see you and the
gundam. Not to mention they will go visit the Sanc Kingdom.
Gundam Pilot: First of all they only saw the gundam, they didn't see me and
my voice was hidden. Anyways it was my decision whether they were ready or
not to see Tekapeck. Let them visit the kingdom what they will find there
is absolutely nothing.
Dr. J: I hope you're right.
Gundam Pilot: Trust me they're ready. Maybe not fot the truth but part of
it.
*~*
Rita: Hey! While you guys are there, Sarah wants you to pick up some of the
Sanc Kingdom's best herbs.
Millardo: I guess it would be fine. Anyways I could go see how the kingdom
is doing without me or Relena at the throne right now.
Noin: Well is it okay with the rest of you guys?
Heero: It's fine.
Quatre: Then let's go.
*~*
When the group finally reached the border, all the life was gone. Smoke
still covered the sky. Duo made the guess that it was just fog. Soon they
came upon the kingdo. Everything had been destroyed. The buildings were
torn. The institute where Relena teached her beliefs was blown apart. The
pilots all left their cockpits to explore what has been going on. Many
found rotting bodies. Arms, legs, and organs missing a body. Or a body
missing them. None of them got sick, they were all used to it. Soon they
slipt up. Heero went up the many steps that went up to the institute. Most
of all the steps were broken and blown up. Finally he reached the top. The
building had crashed in. He walked inside. It was all low till he reached
where the fencing room used to be. In the middle of the room there was a
lady. She wore black boots and a black cloak. The cloak covered her face
and her body. On the back it had a symbol of a star. The rim of the cloak
was covered in jewels. She looked a little like a rich but nice person.
Heero couldn't help but stare. She turned around. Now she was facing him.
All he could make out was that she was smiling. Heero opened his mouth to
speak but no sound. Sure enough his mouth was moving just no sound. She
started to hum. He felt as if he knew this tune. She started to walk away.
Heero followed her. They reached the back of the school. It was still burnt
and everything dead. IN the middle of the yard was the gundam. Heero was
surprised. Finally the woman turned around and took of her hood. She had
black hair, the same length as Relena's. She had black eyes, and black
finger nails. She was slim and built quite nicely. At least that was what
Heero thought.
Heero: You're a gundam pilot aren't you? That gundam is yours isn't it?
Gundam Pilot: Yes. My name is a name you will soon learn. The gundam's name
is Tekapeack, which means total life.
Heero: Why have you just appeared? What is your purpose?
Gundam Pilot: There will soon be a battle no one will ever forget. It will
be tough and it will decide who will bring what to the world. Peace or
darkness? It will all fall down to the black crystal.
With that she went to her gundam and lifted off. Heero stood there frozen.
Heero: Black Crystal?
A moment later everyone was at Heero's side. They all looked confused. They
all saw the gundam, but why didn't Heero stop the gundam pilot. They tried
talking to Heero but he just walked back to the mobile suits in silence.
*~*
Galaxia: Now well well. Heero is stunned to see the new gundam pilot. I
wonder why? Is it because he was surpassed by a women? ... Come to me my
warriors!
Kara: Your majesty is something the matter?
Galaxia: How much time is left for Kakyu?
Rita: Two more months your grace.
Chelsey: Is there anything else that is bothering you Galaxia?
Galaxia: No, that is all. Return to Earth and watch over the group. There
is something coming. I can feel it.
*~*
Back at the house they all sat down in the large living room. Kakyu was
sitting on Heero's lap. Kristina was not there. She told the group at home
that she had to go to work. Heero soon told the rest of them about the
kingdom and what he saw.
Heero: I'm still not sure if she's good or if she's bad.
Duo: A women?!? That's quite impressive still.
Trowa: I just hope her intensions are good. No sense in fighting her. The
only one who probably stand a chance is Heero.
Hilde: Not to mention, she talked about some ultimate battle.
Amy: It's strange enough that Galaxia appears and 3 new scouts.
Lita: I thought Usagi destroyed Galaxia and her minions?
Mina: Yeah, Usagi what really did happen?
Serena: Like I told you guys, I used the silver crystal to defeat her. She
said thank you and disappeared. I woke up standing in the sky with all of
you guys around me.
Kara: You guys shouldn't worry so much.
Chelsey: There's no point to act like you're ok around us.
Hamara: We just want to know what the hell is going on? It's not like we
have different missions. You're supposed to protect the princess.
Kara: Yes, the princess Kakyu. Not Serenity. She is nothing but a fake to
us.
Rita: Our order is to protect the real princess and Queen. Galaxia and
Kakyu.
Chelsey: And the king, Heero.
Serena; How am I a false queen?
Chelsey: The past, the whole past will soon catch up with us.
Rita: The past will contain the whole truth, both joyful and painful. Stuff
you may not be ready for.
Kakyu: That day will also bring out some of their hidden power. The power
that will determine how far they will go. Their ultimate power, the Last
stage.
Noin: But what does this have to do with the new gundam pilot?
Kara: She as well will have a major roll in the era. In the history this
era will be called the era of truth and blood.
Sally: But what is this black crystal?
Setsuna: and what will happen if it falls in the wrong hands?
Rita: The black crystal is actually a heart crystal.
Kara: If evil reaches the one with the black crystal then and only then
will the earth and colonies fall to darkness. No one will die. Instead
souls will be trapped in bodies and torched for eternity.
Raye: I could not see this in the flames.
Chelsey: Some things are hidden.
Hotaru: But why has Kakyu come to us?
Kara: In her time the battle came much later. As you can see, Kakyu's
mother died during the battle.
Heero: Do you know who Kakyu's mother is?
Kakyu: And do you know her earthly form?
Kara: Galaxia is Kakyu's mother, but I can't say her earth name.
Dorothy: Why not?
Chelsey: Because none of you will be able to handle the truth right now.
Rita: To our understanding all of you enrolled to the same school. Why a
school that has elementary, junior high, high school, and college all
together?
Darien: So we can keep an eye on the young ones just in case.
Catherine: Will any of us die in this battle?
SILENCE
Kara: It depends on all of you. But we too have enrolled for it is our duty
to watch over Kakyu.
Kakyu: This Rules! I get to see all of you more often.
Rita: Yes, and that also means we will know if you get into any trouble.
Kakyu: Who me? Never!
Heero: Yeah right. This is coming from the girl who threw a water balloon
at the principal at the last school.
Kakyu: Well he was treating the kids so unfairly.
Rita: Sure he was.
Mark: Hey guys what's up?
Kara: Hey Mark! How was work? I heard that it has been getting really busy.
Mark: Just more accidents lately.
Sarah: Dinner is ready.
Rita: Thank you Sarah. Well after dinner all you young ones to bed. You
need to be cheerful for school.
*~*
Duo: I didn't expect to be in battle tonight.
Heero: Pipe down! Keep your eyes peeled.
Wufie: Looks like that new gundam pilot is taking out those guys pretty
easily.
Gundam Pilot: Hey! Nice night for a battle wouldn't you say?
Millardo: Sure if you love the sight of blood starting to run out of a
cockpit.
Gundam Pilot: What? You guys don't get the stomach for battle? Here I
thought you guys were real pilots.
Duo: We are gundam pilots.
Quatre: We should stop this arguing the enemies are destroyed.
Gundam Pilot: Well got to fly.
The gundam pilot shot a flare. When the light faded, she was gone once
again.
*~*
Kakyu: So what do you think her purpose is?
Heero: We're not real sure yet.
Quatre: I think she made it clear that she is on our side.
Trowa: I don't know. She could just try to use our trust against us.
Hilde: Who knows? You guys should take a chill pill for right now.
Heero: I guess.
For the rest of the time the group walked in silence. Heero dug in his
pocket till he found a picture. He had got a real quick snap shot of the
pilot. He showed it to all of them. They all seemed to feel something
strange. Kakyu, Hotaru, and Chibi-usa were ahead of the adults skipping and
laughing. When they reached the gates. Heero gave Kakyu a hug. Setsuna gave
Hotaru and Chibi-usa one.
Duo: Ok! Millardo, Relena is your sister. Then how in blue blazes do you
know Haruka?
Millardo: Haruka is my sister too.
Duo: What? Do you have a brother while we're discussing this?
Millardo: Yeah, I also have a cousin. Big family I know.
Quatre: Well I'll say.
Dorothy: You have no right to talk with you having 26 sisters who adore
you.
When they reached the classroom they took their seats far in the back.
Introductions here, gossiping there. Soon laughter and talking filled the
room. The bell for tardiness rang. Every single student took their seats
but they all still chatted. Soon they started to guess what the teacher
would look like- fat and ugly; looks like a supermodel. The door opened us
and the vice principal came through the door.
Mr. Tokanouchi: Good morning! Your teacher Mrs. Bonbell has died. So till a
new teacher arrives the principal will take her place.
A woman came through the door with gasps from the group.
Principal: Hello, my name is Sakura Avalon or Peacecraft.
