I don't own GW. It's that simple. Sorry.
I guess it took a while for the next chapter. I'm sorry for that, but I injured my finger this past week and it's difficult to type with it wrapped. I'm typing with it off now, and it hurts, but I'm typing past the pain because I want you few readers to read this stuff. I don't even know why I bother. All this pain for a couple of readers, while others rake in 80 reviews a chapter...God I wish I was like them...so popular...
After Eve Gundam Wing: New Heero
Chapter 8
The pilots sat outside on the edge of Howard's pool, relaxing in the sun. "So where did you all come from?" asked Stephen.
"As you know, my name is Kreed Skye," said Kreed. "I've been with Howard for about three years now. I went to live with him when my parents died."
"What happened?" asked Jin.
"They worked as agents of the ESUN," replied Kreed. "They disappeared on a mission to regulate war manufacturing. News of their death turned up eventually. Howard was a...family friend, so he took me in."
"Damn," said Stephen. "Well, at least your parents died with some honor I'm sure."
"What do you mean?" asked Kreed.
"My parents are rotting in a prison somewhere," said Stephen. "They killed four people about two years ago. I had nowhere to go, so I joined the Army. Granted, I was a little young to join, only fourteen, but they let me in once I proved I was a good pilot. They desperately needed pilots anyway."
"Well I never knew my parents," said Anita. "And I have absolutely no remorse." The pilots turned to face her, looking at her as if she were insane. "Howard's my grandfather, as Kreed well knows. He took me in to live with him when my parents decided they didn't want me. Since abortion's illegal, they put me up for adoption. Howard immediately adopted me as his own...my only true parent."
"What about you Jin?" asked Kreed. "How did you come to end up here?" Anita hit Kreed on the back of the head, a warning signal to shut his mouth. Kreed immediately realized what he had just asked... Everyone knew how the famous Heero Yuy and his wife Releena Peacecraft had died. It was no secret.
"Sorry," said Kreed lowly. "I didn't mean to ask. You don't have to answer that."
"September 12, 14AE," said Jin. "Fourteen years after peace was brought to the Earth Sphere. Fifteen years after my father gave up warfare for a better man kind." Jin stared into the rippling water of the pool in front of him. "It was raining...hard. Varsity City doesn't usually get a lot of rain, but it did that day. That's where my home was..."
Releena stood in the kitchen over a stove, happily cooking her family's dinner. The doorbell suddenly rang, causing her to jump slightly. She turned off the stove and called out to the rest of the house. "I'll get it!"
"I heard the doorbell ring," said Jin. "I didn't think twice about it."
Releena opened the door, revealing two handsomely dressed men in some sort of military uniform she didn't recognize. "Err...Can I help you ?" she asked sweetly.
The obviously elder of the two, who had platinum blonde hair and brown eyes, smiled innocently as he removed his cap. "Yes. Could you tell me-Is this the Yuy residence?"
"Yes it is," answered Releena. "I'm Releena."
"Oh good," said the man. "The name's Vance..." A suppressed gun shot came as Vance shot Releena at point blank range in the chest. He fired two more shots into her. She staggered back a few steps and fell, dead, to the cold, wooden floor.
Heero, sitting in a room down the hall, watching the television, heard the thud of Releena's body, and immediately recognized it as dead weight hitting the ground. He quickly got up from his chair and ran to the door way, right into a pistol barrel. He stopped abruptly, frozen still.
"Heero!" said Vance. "It's great to see you. Take a few steps back please."
"Who the hell are you? And what are you doing here?" asked Heero, refusing to move. He looked over Vance's shoulder at his wife, sprawled out on the floor as her blood drained. His face fell, and his eyes began to tear. "And why did you kill my wife?!"
"Please, Heero," said Vance. "Sit down." Heero finally chose to obey. "My name is Vance, Colonel Vance," said Vance. "This here is Max, a...co- worker of mine."
"Why are you here?"
"I'll make this quick," said Vance. "I simply came to your house on a mission. That mission is to kill you Heero. Though it pains me in going so, I must kill you. It is necessary if I want my plans to succeed."
"Plans?"
"I'm reviving OZ," said Vance. "I am their new leader, and I had to get you out of the way, along with the rest of the pilots. Don't worry, they're already dead."
"You son of bitch!" yelled Heero. "You're insane if you think you can get away with this! Don't you idiots ever learn that evil is futile?! You can never win!"
"I heard the shouting suddenly, and it was then that I realized something must be wrong. I ran from my room."
Jin, fourteen years old, appeared at the bottom of the steps, and saw before him a man holding his father at gun-point as he sat in a chair, helpless to fight back.
"Dad, what's going on?" asked Jin. He was confused. Everyone's attention turned on him.
"Jin, get away from here," said Heero quickly. "Get out quickly!"
"Who the hell are you?!" asked Jin to the men. "Get out of our house!"
Max quickly pulled his own gun out of his coat, and pointed it at Jin. Jin suddenly froze. He'd never been threatened with his life before. "Just hold your horses kiddo," said Max evilly. "You'll get your turn in a minute."
"NO!" shouted Heero. "Stay away from him, please! Don't kill my son. I beg you to leave him out of this matter...Don't punish him for my past. He's just an innocent child. Please... don't kill him."
"Very well," said Vance.
"But sir," started Max.
"But nothing," said Vance. "I agree. He's just a kid, an innocent. He's in no way involved in this. Lower your gun Max." Max reluctantly did as he was told. Vance faced Heero once more. "Sorry Heero, but your future isn't as fortunate." He lowered his gun to Heero's chest.
"Goodbye Heero...You will be missed."
Bang!
"I was powerless to stop them," said Jin. "Too weak. I couldn't do a damned thing about it. I just watched Vance shoot my father. That's all I could do...is just watch."
"So how'd you end up in the TAC?" asked Anita after a prolonged silence.
"I ran from the house," said Jin. "I was afraid, confused, scared. "It was still raining, but I didn't care. I ran, and ran, and ran, until I was out of the city. I collapsed from exhaustion after hours of running and crying...I thought I had died...I didn't care if I did anyway.
"I woke up in a strange place, a hospital bed. It turns out I was picked up by the TAC, who happened to be driving along the highway that I collapsed on...Call it luck, whether good or bad, and I ended up joining the army from there. When they learned of everything that had happened, they immediately began an investigation.
"They were too late though. OZ mobilized their forces the next day. They couldn't be stopped on such short notice. They took over everything, and the ESUN formed the TAC to resist them. I joined immediately, and they were more than happy to have Heero's son in the fray. I was too young technically to join the Corps, but they were willing to make an exception...That's how I joined the Army and came to end up here basically."
Jin took off his boots and socks and jumped into the pool, still wearing his clothes and jacket.

I know it's not a good place to end the chapter, but I couldn't go on any longer. My finger hurts because I injured it, so this is a bit difficult, plus I didn't see a good chap break coming any time soon.
