So you're all about to find out what Jin learned form his research project on our buddy Colin. You'll be a bit shocked. I just kind of came up with it, and it worked, in the sense that it'll make him even more of a bad guy than he was ever in this story.

And there will be a surprise visit from Ana in this chapter. Be ready.

After Eve Gundam Wing 2

Chapter Twenty Two

Jin threw open the doors of the lounge where all the other pilots happened to be, a beneficial coincidence. His body was emitting waves of bad vibes that everyone sensed immediately upon his entry. His blood was boiling, his eyes piercing and dilated his face red with fury. He was even having trouble controlling his breathing and his heart rate.

"What's the matter Jin?" asked Rachel. Stephen and Kreed were playing a game of chess in the back, which they had now abandoned. Jin just stood in the doorway to gather his thoughts for a second. What he was about to tell them…he didn't want to have to explain any more than absolutely necessary.

"Jin?" asked Rachel again, standing from her seat at a round table. "Is something wrong?"

"I have everything on Colin," said Jin. "I know who he is."

"What do you mean?" asked Anita.

Jin held up a handful of papers clenched in his right hand. "I did some research, and Colin's name just happened to come up. I know everything about him." Jin looked down at the papers. "His name is Colin Diskette, with a long "-e" at the end. He was a pilot in OZ back in the AC years."

"No way," said Stephen. "So he's an old enemy. He must be at least forty years old."

"He's forty-two," said Jin. "But that's not even close to being all. Do you guys remember the mention of Titan Tech Engineering?"

"Sure," said Kreed. "The Preventers just bought all their weapons from them. It was a huge contract deal. They've kinda got a monopoly on the Mobile Suit thing right now. Why? Is Colin, like, their boss or something?"

"Yeah," said Jin. "Exactly. Colin Diskette is the founder of the company. He owns it."

"Wow," said Anita. "He owns Titan Tech? He must be rich."

"But there's even more," growled Jin, his eyes narrowing again. Everyone tentatively backed away a few inches. Something about Jin at this time was very frightening. He was definitely in a fit of rage right now, and it was plainly obvious that he was barely containing his anger at something.

"Jin," said Rachel, taking a few steps toward him. "Jin, what is it? What do you know about Colin?"

"He wasn't just in OZ in A.C." Jin looked up. "He was with OZ during the last war as well, and he played a rather large roll. Colin Diskette, this abomination of a man… He… He's the one who…"

"Jin," said Stephen, standing up. "What is it buddy. What did this guy do?"

"This guy told OZ exactly where to find my parents, and all the other Gundam pilots," said Jin. There was a stifled gasp in the room. Jin was absolutely quiet, except for his heavy breathing. "Colin… He looked up and found out where they all lived. He is the one responsible for the death of my parents and for the deaths of all the other pilots as well."

Jin dropped the papers. "He was also the leading engineer on the Super Ground to Air/Ground Missile Project. He built it. He built that missile system, he built all of OZ's new Mobile Suits and Mobile Dolls, he built Max's Gundam." Jin leaned up against the wall and closed his eyes tightly.

"This person is practically what made the war happen," Jin struggled to say. "He killed my parents. He killed them all, and then he sold OZ all of their weapons." He slammed his elbow into the wall so hard that he left a hole, and he tore some skin off of his arm. The single light overhead shook dangerously. Everyone jumped slightly at his outburst.

Usually Jin is able to keep his emotions under control, thought Rachel. This has really got him upset. He's enraged beyond any point I've ever seen him at. It's scary.

"I'm going to hunt down this Colin," said Jin. "I'm going to find him, no matter where he is, and no matter what it takes. If he finds me instead, then I'll just be ready for him. I'm going to make him regret showing his face to me, revealing his evil to the universe." Jin turned around and faced the door, his face down and hidden. "And when I find him… Well, I'll just have to come up with a way to torture his soul… And then I'm going to crush him."

He walked out of the room, and he left the other four pilots in stunned silence. Megan walked into the room with a look of anxiety or worry on her face. "Hey guys," she said kinda shakily. "Umm, is Jin okay? I just passed him in the hall, and he seems pretty pissed about something."

"He just found out a pretty shocking piece of news," said Stephen. "Come over here. I'll explain while I finish up this game of chess with Kreed."

"Should someone go with him?" asked Anita. "You know, to check on him? I mean… isn't there a chance that he could try and…"

"Jin isn't going to go and try to commit suicide again," said Stephen as he moved a bishop. "It's not only the fact that he now recognizes it as being very stupid. I believe he will not want to do that ever again. However, my main reason for saying that is-

"He's got a new mission now," said Rachel, looking at the door. "Jin just assigned himself a new mission. Whatever it is that he wants to do, he's going to accomplish it, or he's going to die trying. He's not going to simply throw it away by killing himself."

"That's exactly what I was going to say," said Stephen as Kreed took his bishop with a rook. "Oh come on! You had to have cheated!"

"Cheated!" asked Kreed. "I took that piece fair and square! How dare you say I cheated?"

"But-but!" Stephen hung his head and sighed, choosing to not continue arguing. He moved a pawn, and Megan inwardly laughed.

Jin entered his room, and didn't come out until he was called upon a while later.

Later…

A knock announced the presence of someone outside of Jin's room as he lay on his small bed, looking at the ceiling. "Yeah," he replied monotonously. The door slid open, and Kreed was standing in its wake with Anita.

"Jin," said Kreed. "Come on. Ana's here."

"What!" asked Jin. "What do you mean she's 'here'?"

"Well," said Anita, "to put it simply, her Wing Zero is floating outside of our ship. She's not attacking or anything… She won't say anything, except that she wants to talk to you right away."

Jin rose from his bed and stretched for a long few seconds, and walked out the door past his two friends. They followed him to the bridge, where many of the Maguanac crew and the other two Gundam Pilots were awaiting his arrival.

"What's up?" asked Jin with his hands in his pockets. His change in mood from just a couple hours ago was a little alarming to them, but upon a little further thought, they realized it wasn't very strange for him.

"It's your sister," said Stephen. "She wants to talk to you about something."

"We've slowed down the ship," said Rasheed. "She demanded we stop so that she could talk. We're in no position to disobey either, because our ship's defenses can't repel that Gundam's armament."

"Put her through then," said Jin, taking a seat in front of a large screen monitor. He lifted his boots to rest on the desk next to the computer. Some static came on the screen-no image. Her voice came through successfully.

"Hello?" she asked tentatively. "Jin?" Her voice sounded a whole lot different from the cocky and pompous attitude she typically let show.

"Why are you here Ana?" asked Jin. "What's up?"

"I…I'd like to talk to you Jin," said Ana. "In private, I'd like to speak."

"Oh you would?" asked Jin. "What's the deal? You just came here to talk?"

"Doesn't sound right," said Kreed. "Jin, she's tried to kill us, you included."

"I don't want a fight right now brother," said Ana. "Please, just come out and talk with me."

"Why can't you come aboard the Magnas?" asked Jin.

"I don't really have much time," said Ana. "I'm supposed to be here to destroy you guys right now. My mission was to blow up this big ship with you on it. I don't have any time at all to waste."

Jin stood up from his seat and walked to the door. "I'll be out in a minute," he said.

"Are you serious?" asked Stephen.

"Thank you-Brother," replied Ana. The static-y picture disappeared, and the pilots followed Jin to the hangar, where he began slowly and casually putting on his space suit.

"Jin, you know this could be a trick," said Anita. "Why are you going out there? She may just want to kill you as soon as you go out alone."

"Please," said Jin. "She can't kill me. No one can kill me." Jin was lifted by a cord to the cockpit of Wing Zero, where he got in, and the doors closed shut, the airlock sealing the chamber with a hiss.

"Okay ZERO," said Jin. "Let's go. This shouldn't require any combat at all, so let's just relax." The blue sphere flashed and turned on, beeping in response.

Wing Zero's wing-mounted vernier thrusters activated, and the Gundam launched forward on the catapult of the Mangnas runway. It flew out into space to meet the look-alike Gundam Buster Zero. He knew not what was going to happen, but he was going to be ready for whatever came his way. At least, he hoped he'd be ready.

End Chapter Twenty Two

This was harder to write than I thought it would be, mainly because it was hard to word many parts the right way. I don't think I really did well with Jin's episode in the loung and how he described what had him so angry, but you all know what it is at least, and I'll leave it to your brilliant intellects to imagine it a better way in your noodle.

Speaking of brilliant intellects, it's a very brilliant idea to leave as many reviews as possible. BRILLIANT! (I just couldn't resist. Thos Guinness beer commercials are so hilarious. If you've no idea what I'm talking about, I do pity you.)
