Reunion, by Lost-Remembrance (Red Tail), Chapter Eight

:Another dream that will never come true. Just to compliment your sorrow. Another life that I've taken from you. A gift to add on to your pain and suffering. Another truth you can never believe. Has crippled you completely. All the cries you're beginning to hear. Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening.:

"Loch." A man turned from the commanding post that he had and Heero just glared at the man whom the other Gundam pilots had met in the morning at Li's, this man was the head of the Tresser family.

"My name is Heero, not Loch." He growled lowly, clenching his hands as some soldier's surrounded the head of the Tresser family.

"Fine, names mean nothing to you after all." Heero was silent at this; it was true partially. He had so many names he simply took the one that was assigned to him but decided to stay with the name Heero Yuy. His missions were over but he still kept the name unless he had to change it in the colonies or something.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why?" Matt blinked with slight surprise at this. "We are partial founders of the White Fang. You were meant to protect Srei, the world's political leader of this family, and serve for us. Only us."

"I'm not some toy that you can use when you want to." His whole body tensed in raging anger, wondering what would become of the world now.

"You're right, toys can be discarded. You won't be; not this time until we decide to get rid of something used and tainted. You won't be discarded, merely eliminated." He spoke so calmly it was almost surprising had Heero not known how insane this person was.

"So what are you going to do now? Srei's not even here anymore." He smirked inwardly; guessing by the face made by Matt that they hadn't found her yet.

"We don't need her." Matt grinned slightly when a cold glare was leveled at him. "You see, after she ran away, we had to train someone else. Merri was her successor."

:Let me enlighten you. This is the way I pray:

"Getting little kids now, are we?" He retorted angrily. Hopefully, he could learn of the plans they were thinking of and buy time for the others.

"Might I remind you that you yourself were a kid when you came into our services. Srei was just the same." He said as he turned away, looking out the expansive window. He straightened his uniform and snapped his fingers, the door opening as Merri walked in. "Besides, she's just so adorable."

Merri smiled and looked at Heero. "So… Heero is going to be my bodyguard now?" Matt nodded and Heero leveled a glare at the older man.

"That isn't very nice to do to father. He only wished the best for the colonies. I've been trained extensively despite my age to fulfill this purpose." Merri said with her chin raised. She adjusted her beret on top of her head and tugged at her cape slightly to get rid of all the ruffles and wrinkles in it.

'Turned her into quite the little doll.' Heero commented idly in his mind. "I guess that I don't have much of a choice, now do I? I figure that you've taken all the precautions just as Mariemaia did also? The colony being rigged."

:Living just isn't hard enough. Burn me alive, inside. Living my life's not hard enough. Take everything away.:

Matt grinned. "You are very observant. These colonists on this colony are prepared to give their lives for this cause. Most colonists are now. We will bring the dreams of the colonies to reality. Earthlings don't understand the hardships we have been put under by them and their ideals." Heero crossed his arms. "People cannot have peace with the Earth and colonies as a whole. Two separate nations would work perfectly for us."

"That's quite a view that you have." Heero muttered.

"Please hush." Merri snapped. "We are about to declare our independence as well as all the colonies. If the Earth does not accept us as individuals then we shall retaliate against them by our own means."

"And you need me why…?" He muttered, rolling his eyes.

"Our retaliation would be war." Merri grinned sweetly at him although it was dark and malicious underneath her sweet exterior.

'This girl could seriously be Merri-maia.'

:Another nightmare about to come true. Will manifest tomorrow. Another love that I've taken from you. Lost in time, on the edge of suffering. Another taste of the evil I breed. Will level you completely. Bring to life everything that you fear. Live in the dark, and the world is threatening.:

She tossed some of her curled blonde locks behind her and turned towards a communicator. "Father, could you stand next to me? Perhaps you might have some influence also. Heero to my left." She said as she positioned herself between the two men. Heero crossed his arms again and stared at the camera numbly.

"You do understand the riots this will cause." Merri looked at him questioning. "People will recognize me as a Gundam pilot, baka." He growled and she frowned at his tone of voice. "Then you'll really have a war."

"Well, let's just hope people act the way you suspect them to."

"You really want a war, don't you?" Heero looked at her in slight surprise. He had to stall this as long as he could, give the guys a little more time.

"Well," Merri turned to look at him sweetly with slightly larger blue eyes. "We can't help it with whatever happens in war, now can we?"

:Let me enlighten you. This is the way I pray.:

"You're planning on murdering people in your way and claiming it was just retaliation on the other sides or they got in the way." Hero clenched his hands together. That meant that Relena and the other Gundam pilots might be targeted.

"Hold it right there!" A voice shouted from across the room as the door fell in, revealing a grinning Duo Maxwell. The soldier that had shouted at him to stop was unconscious under the door now.

"Y'know, buddy." Duo grinned as he raised his gun and pointed it at Matt and Merri whom both glared at the braided teen. "You just can't seem to keep out of trouble."

:Living just isn't hard enough. Burn me alive, inside. Living my life's not hard enough. Take everything away. Return to me. Leave me no one. Turn to me. Return to me. Cast aside. You've made me turn away.:

"Your help would appreciated." Heero said monotonously as Duo nodded, still grinning as he leveled his gun at Merri.

"Look, as long as you surrender and come with us then we won't have any trouble." Duo said, now a serious face in place.

"Never." Duo clicked off the safety. "I am prepared for death. Nothing will stop me from freeing the colonies."

Duo glared at the girl. "Why you…" He growled getting angry already. This Matt dude really did brainwash her real good!

"I will not surrender, no matter how you threaten me. A gun means nothing to me; not even if you kill me." She grinned coldly at Duo who bit his lip a little. "Perhaps it is because I'm a child you won't fire. Let me tell you something, I grew up a long time ago and even if you do take me, alive that is, then I'll never give up."

The door behind Duo opened and Duo turned to look to see whom it was and some of Merri's soldiers rushed in and shot at the gun Duo held. As it slipped by his fingers, the trigger was pulled as it made its way out of the braided youth's grasp.

"Protect her no matter what; even if it means your own life. We have other means of killing your friends and there are other people under my order that would love to do it for me."

Quickly stepping into the bullet's path, He blocked Merri's body with him.

A girl giggled, looking like Merri, "Are you lost?" She questioned.

He couldn't let another innocent firl die; it wasn't Merri's fault.

He felt a sudden pain hit him in the chest and fell to the floor with his eyes wide, lying in a pool of growing blood from his body…

:Living just isn't hard enough. Burn me alive, inside. Living my life's not hard enough….

… Take everything away…:

Then Heero collapsed into darkness with someone screaming at him to hold on. That was funny; he didn't want to at all.

Author's note:

I am soooooooo sorry for the long wait on this story. I put it on the backburner for a while and I'm so sorry for making people wait. I had all these ideas and all so I had to write them like Blaue Augen and Point Zero. Please forgive me for not updating. (Bows head in forgiveness) Anyhow, thank you all reviewers and this story might be over soon. Maybe the tenth or eleventh chapter depending on how it all unravels. I don't think it'll end too quickly though.

Reviews are always helpful and suggestions are welcomed! What did y'all think of the chapter?

Yeah, I revised this so if you noticed changes, it's only for this chapter though I realized how horribly bad my spelling was that long ago UU :Sigh:
