Okay people, as promised, I'll be working harder to get updates in as fast as possible. I'll try my best. And to you people who have reviewed all of this crap I post, here's your answer session... yay.

Ebony Light: Thank you, as always, for being the most consistent reader. Rachel, as you said, isn't really the great leadership type, but she does have the ability to be influential to others in their decision making. And what do you mean I'm smarter than you thought I was?

Gemxk: That's kinda a weird name you have there. Whatever. Thank you for the compliments. Jin is definitely the motivational type when it comes to moving on and getting your mission complete.

ZeroYui: I'm glad you love the stories. Hopefully my updates will come more often. And I never thought about Rachel's and Releena's name starting with R. It was just an unnoticed coincidence.

Sorrowful death-giver: Name sounds a bit morose, doesn't it ladies and gentlemen? As for Vance? Well I can't give it all away now. He will be referenced at some point so that you know what happened to him, but I wouldn't count on seeing him. Or, maybe I will find a way to fit him into the story.

Fox...: Yeah, the pilots have it rough...but things will eventually get better...if I can find a way to make it better. Heh heh.

Now onto the chapter

After Eve Gundam Wing 2

Chapter Nine

"We need to find a way to get off this base and get our Mobile Suits," said Anita. "Anyone got any ideas?" They were standing in the darkness of an alley between two buildings, large hangars.

"Are your Gundams secured?" asked Jin.

"Yeah," said Anita. "Mine is with Kreed's at the old site in Pacific City."

"You guys repaired Howard's old place?"

"Sort of," said Anita. "We just fixed up the hangar underground and had a smaller house put there so we could crash there if it were ever necessary."

"It's necessary," said Jin. "Where's Heavy Arms Rachel?"

"It's here," said Rachel.

"It is?" asked Jin. "Wow. That's great isn't it?"

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize Rachel," said Jin. "We'll get a hold of Heavy Arms first. We then need to hijack a small plane that can get us outta here as fast as possible."

"The Gundam hangar is nearby," said Rachel. "And right next to it is a smaller hangar that should house a small aircraft. It's a private jet for Preventers of high importance."

"Like yourself and Kreed?" asked Stephen. She nodded.

"Excellent," said Jin. "We have a plan then. So let's get to it."

"I'll lead the way to the hangars," said Rachel. They ran through the darkness of night for several minutes. They only had to stop and duck behind a building once, on account of a searchlight getting a little too close for comfort. Upon arriving, they peeked into the slightly opened hangar door with Heavy Arms inside.

The red Gundam stood proudly in the middle, with very few lights on around it. There were several guards lazily patrolling the inside. "Good," said Jin. "Security is lax. "Now where is this plane?"

Next door, they looked in the smaller hangar whose doors were completely swung wide open. In it, sitting dormant in the dark, was a sleek blue jet with two vernier engines on the delta-shaped wings. "It's fast," said Kreed. "Very fast. It contains some of the best stealth on any plane today. It also comes complete with a hovering mechanism for short range landings."

"So you're saying you could land it on, say, a beach?" asked Jin.

"You could land this thing on water if you wanted to," said Kreed. Jin smiled.

"Okay then," said Jin. "Our plan is formed. We have only the small security to deal with, and after that, we head to Howard's place. Got it?" Everyone nodded their agreement. "Great. Now let's get you to your Mobile Suit Rachel."

Two guards were standing side by side, talking about something of little importance. Behind them, something fell from the rafters above with cat-like stealth and agility. They didn't notice. A sudden, yet barely-audible smacking and cracking noise accompanied a karate-chop to their necks simultaneously. Their unconscious bodies fell to the ground with a thud, and Kreed backed into the shadows, giving a small wave to another corner of the hangar.

Rachel and Anita ran into the opening of the hangar and ducked behind Heavy Arms' left foot as a single guard patrolled past them. "You're up Jin," said Rachel quietly to herself.

"Excuse me gentlemen!" shouted someone at the large door's entrance. It was Jin, walking in completely calm and confident. Needless to say, it got the attention of all four remaining guards in the room, and they began walking toward him, their rifles readied, but not aimed.

"This hangar is off limits buddy," said one of them closest to him. "This is the Gundam's hangar. Only certain personnel are allowed in here. You best be moving along now."

"I'll leave in a second," promised Jin. "I just have some business to take care of."

"Like what?" asked another guard. The four of them were very close to him now.

"I was told it's time for your nap." Said Jin with a smile. In an instant, Anita dashed out from behind the Gundam's leg as Stephen dashed out from the shadows of the other side of the hangar. They each grabbed a guard by the arm and flipped them over their backs, throwing them to the ground, effectively putting them to sleep.

This, of course, caused the other two guards closest to Jin to turn around and see what the commotion was. Jin raised a pistol in each hand to point at their backs, an echoing click-noise telling them that he had just readied two armed guns.

"Hands in the air," said Jin. "Now." They obliged as they were told. "Now slowly turn around and drop your guns." Again, they men did as they were instructed. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end for the two, because Stephen and Anita walked up behind them and placed a finger firmly into a pressure point in their necks. They were knocked out almost instantly.

"Well that went well," said Kreed. He walked out of the shadows and joined the rest of his team. "Hop on in Rachel."

"Got it," replied Rachel. She climbed up the leg of her Gundam and opened the cockpit door, climbing in quickly and quietly and shutting the door.

"Now let's get in that plane," said Kreed as he lead them out of the hangar into the one next door. They ran in as fast as possible. It wouldn't be terribly long until the jig was up and everyone found out that the Gundam hangar wasn't secured any longer. They boarded the completely unguarded plane and took a seat as Kreed took his own seat in the cockpit. It was aft all for use by the high-ranking officers of the Preventers.

"Buckle those seat belts everyone," he said to the three in the cabin. "I have no idea how comfy this ride is going to be. To be honest, I'd guess that it will be one hell of a ride!" He flipped several switches in the cockpit so that the plane turned on.

"You in Kreed?" asked Rachel, her face appearing on a small pop up monitor to the side.

"Sure am Rachel," said Kreed. "I'm just going to shoot out of here at top speed. There's no time to line up on the runway. I'm pretty sure this thing can get airborn in about fifty feet or less."

"Be careful," said Rachel. "I'll provide cover should you need it."

"Roger," confirmed Kreed. "I'll see you in the air." Rachel disappeared off of the screen as the engines of the plane lit up.

"Did I hear you say that you weren't going to use the runway?" asked Stephen.

"Yep!" answered Kreed. "That means we'll be reaching 200 miles per hour in approximately forty feet."

"This thing can do that?" asked Stephen. Kreed shook his head with a smile.

"Oh ye' of little faith..."

The blue jet screamed out of the hangar with a powerful kick from its vernier thrusters. "YEEEHAAWW!" yelled Kreed as it shot into the sky, trailing white light from the output of he engines.

Heavy Arms then took to the sky behind it as the plane decreased its speed so the Gundam could catch up.

Someone must've obviously noticed that an unscheduled flight had occurred, because as they flew away, an audio call came into the cockpit.

"This is the Preveters TAC base, calling the shuttle and Heavy Arms Gundam, land at once!"

"Do you think we should even respond?" asked Stephen with a grin.

"I repeat," said the base commander. "Land your aircraft and Mobile Suit immediately."

"Nah," said Jin. "It'll torture them more that way."

End Chapter Nine

Well that update came fast didn't it? The plot will soon run thick as even more enemies and even spies come forth in an attempt to do away with our heroes. Fear not, however, for a new force will soon make its presence known in an attempt to help the Gundam pilots deal with their problems of the moment. I hope you all enjoy.

Review, or else I will not update. That's a threat I fear I have to make, seeing as how I hardly get any reviews. You can all check out a few poems I posted on at Please review them also, if you could find it in your heart. I'll have a story up there soon too, I hope.
