Chapter 4: Discovery and Decisions
"You are clear of earth's atmosphere." The computer sounded, about an hour after take off.
"Why don't you go try and get some sleep. I will come and get you when I need you to take over." Zechs suggested as he watched Heero struggle to keep his eyes open.
In actuality he really hadn't slept a good night's sleep since the inspections had started. It wouldn't have bothered him before and during the but he had gotten slack. Or so he told himself.
Heero often cursed himself for getting too comfortable with the times of peace. He had been lacking in the missions department until he joined the prevents, and he had to admit that he liked having things to do again.
Heero left the pilot's room without saying anything to Zechs. He walked to the other end of the ship and opened the door into the bunks.
When the door closed he fell onto the nearest bed. That is when he heard the slight yelp.
Waiting for a few moments, he opened his eyes and look at the ceiling. When he felt hands beating against the mattress.
In a flash he was up and pointing his gun at a young woman dressed in a pilot suit. Her shoulder length hair fell into her face as she held her head forward and hands up.
She let out a very nervous laugh, "Ummm...I come in peace. I work for the preventors' secret department. I was sent on this mission in secret. You were not supposed to find out about me, but as you can see I am a rookie."
Heero did not budge, "I don't know any preventor that says 'I come in peace' and I have never heard of the secret department."
She stood and placed her hand on her hip, "Well it wouldn't exactly be a secret if you had heard of it, now would it?"
The image of Sky ran through is head. He shook his head slightly so the thought would leave. "This mission is no place for a woman, that is if what you say is true. What is your name?"
"Mika." She replied as he grabbed her arm and they started back the way he came.
When they entered the control room Zechs turned to face them. Sky could swear she almost saw a shocked look creep onto his face, but he immediately went into soldier mode.
"I see we have some surprise cargo. Who is it Heero?" Zechs sat officially in his chair as he waited for a reply. Sky couldn't help but feel like she was being interrogated by her father after doing something really bad.
"Mika, didn't give a last name. Says she is part of the preventors' secret department. Said they sent her on this mission, but she is a rookie." Heero told him expressionless.
Sky wiggled her arm to try and get free of his grip, but he did not budge. 'Geeze he doesn't have to hold tight.' She thought as his grip only tightened.
When Sky quit trying to get free she put her attention on Zechs. She knew he was deciding whether or not to believe her, or take her for a spy.
Zechs finally decided she wasn't out to get them. He knew that the enemy would not send someone so careless as to get caught. Though he didn't believe her story, he had figured since she wanted to be a soldier so bad he would let her have a whirl at it. He didn't think they would run into anything that would hurt her, at least not on the trip to the colony.
"Mika is it? That means new moon. I have never heard of a preventor New Moon, but then again I have never heard of your department. I have only met one other person with that name, the princess. She was given the name because she was the new heir to the line of the moon. Since you are not her I have no other choice than to let you stay. However, no this, if you get in our way then we will put you in a pod and ship you to Mars." Zechs finished sternly. He then turned back around to face the computer.
Heero held his grip on her firmly as they walked back to the sleeping quarters.
He let her go and she fell onto the bed in the far corner, "You have to sleep here so I can keep an eye on you." Heero said as he lay back on the bed she had been under earlier.
Sky felt panic run through her being. She couldn't hold the disguise while she was sleeping, and he would see her for sure. She didn't want to think about what they would do.
Her panicked thoughts were interrupted by a beeping sound emitting through the room.
Sky jumped up and started rummaging through her bag. She didn't see Heero open his eyes and look over at her.
She didn't take the locket out of her bag as she looked it over. The third moon in the symbol on the top was blinking, and she knew exactly what it was. Her parents were tracking her, 'I knew they would do this somehow. Now that I know where I need to get rid of it.'
She noticed Heero's stare, "What?"
"Talking to headquarters?" he asked calmly.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I am. Now if you don't mind, this is top priority stuff." She said as she turned to face the wall.
Heero seriously considered knocking her out and finding out what it was she was hiding, but decided against it. He closed his eyes again, 'she can be of no significant threat, at least not one we can't handle.'
She popped the locket open, letting her bag fill with the light her crystal gave off. The light spilled out onto her face and revealed her true form where the light hit.
Sky looked at the back of the open locket and saw what she was looking for. She removed the beeping device and crushed it.
She looked over at Heero's sleeping form and a smile crept onto her face. Covered him up and watched his expression as he slept. He looked as if he were deep in thought, yet helpless for something. Sky quietly opened the door and left the room.
Back at the Palace
Trista held her daughter's crying form as they all watched the queen pace back and forth.
Serena had found Sky's letter shortly after Amara had woke her up to tell her the door to the weapons room had been opened. She had run to her daughter's room, only to find a piece of paper.
Now everyone in the palace was awake and trying to figure out where she could be.
"We lost the tracking signal. She must have heard it and destroyed it. Sky knows what she is doing Serena. Look, my point is if she wants to go have some sort of adventure, let her do so. I mean when you were her age and younger you were off fighting the greatest evils in the universe." Darien suggested to his wife. Her more panicked look said that she didn't think that was the best idea.
"But what is..." Serena was off by Lita. "Serena I know you are worried, we all are. However, Darien has a point. Sky will be fine. She took her locket, so we know nothing very bad can happen. Let her go and have some fun." Lita said as she held her son's arm firmly.
Mya, AJ, and Kylie had all been caught when Serena had woken everyone up. Each was in trouble with their parents and Luna. Neither wanted the morning to come, because Luna would have something evil planned. Well evil by their standards. The last time they all got into trouble she had forced them to write a 15-page essay on proper palace etiquette in two days.
"I agree." Mina said from her spot beside Michelle.
Serena looked to the ceiling pleadingly before speaking to her friends and family, "Fine, but if anything happens to her I am going to become all of your worst nightmares." Then she sat down beside her husband; he took her hand and she felt some of her strength return.
"While we are all here I guess it would be a good time to tell you that the Gundam pilots and their friends are gone. Apparently Lady Une was finishing up her last inspection on T8. Then she never went to pick up her daughter so they could catch their shuttle to earth. The pilots received a message from her that was sent at 12:00pm but didn't arrive until 9:00pm. Most of the group left on the first available shuttle, but Heero and Zechs took the next one. Apparently Heero was out somewhere and they couldn't reach him." Amy reported to the group.
"So we may have some new organization? Well we need to give them our full support." The Darien said.
A/N: A lil short...I know, but I have a headache, so plz forgive me. Well thanks again for reviews, and REVIEW again and let me know what you think. :)
