I know it's been forever since my last post, but I'm sure nobody gives a damn anyway, because no one reviews this thing, leading me to believe no one reads it. For those few asses who read and don't review, you'll get yours some day, but enjoy this for now, and I'm sorry for taking so damn long.

Discalimer: La-la-la-I don't own Gundam Wing-La-la-la-la


After Eve Gundam Wing: New Heero

Chapter Fourteen


"Soooo..." began Stephen as he and the others sat in Howard's house. "You are Kreed's twin sister from the TAC?"

"I believe we've already established that captain obvious," said Anita sarcastically. The five kids and Howard were seated around the table eating the sandwiches they were supposed to be eating before they fished Rachel out of the water.

"Yes," answered Rachel. She was still a little wet, but the flight suit, which she had taken off earlier, kept her outfit underneath dry. She was wearing the standard casual uniform of TAC pilots, a navy blue jacket and pants and a white t-shirt. "I've been a pilot for a while now. My call sign is Black Knight."

"A spy pilot," reassured Jin. "I've heard the name mentioned around base before. You're supposedly pretty good at your job. I didn't have a clue the Black Knight was a female though. We've heard a bit about you from Kreed, but he hasn't told us much."

"You know," said Howard, "These two are from the TAC also, pilots actually. They're damn good ones too. Maybe you've heard of them."

"The name's Stephen Xavier," chirped Stephen with enthusiasm. Rachel's face lit up.

"I have heard of you," she said excitedly. "Just about every pilot has. You're one of the best pilots we've got, and you fly the modified Aries, the best suits we've got. You have a great reputation. You're also...Jin Yuy's wing man if I've heard correctly."

"Present," said Jin as he swallowed a large mouthful of his sandwich. Rachel's face paled this time. "I'm Jin Yuy."

"The best pilot in the Terra Alliance Corps," said Rachel in an almost awed whisper. "I can't believe I'm sitting next to Jin Yuy. You're, like, the best pilot to ever exist."

"Not quite," said Jin as he leaned back in his chair. "A certain Colonel of OZ saw to it that my father, the best pilot, no longer does exist...But he's still the best there ever was...I'll never be the pilot he was."

Rachel's face fell even more, as if in pain. "Sorry," she said lowly.

"Forget about it," said Jin cheerily. "It's no biggie. I mean, there's nothing you could do. Don't be sorry. Only one person needs to be sorry, and he will be when I take my revenge." Rachel noticed Jin's hand at his side as it balled up into a tight fist and some veins made their presence known in his arm.

Howard, as if to make the situation lighter, having noticed some mixed emotions in the air, spoke up quickly. "Hey Rachel, wanna see the Gundams?" Everyone looked at Howard as if he were mad, except for Kreed.

"She knows?!" asked Stephen.

"Of course," said Rachel. "I came up with most of the design for Heavy Arms."

"No way," said Anita. "So you're in on this too?"

"Yep."

"Well let's go take a look," said Jin. He was the fist to get up and walk away, and everyone followed. They reached the hangar only moments later at the control room, and Rachel didn't seem to be the least bit surprised at the security doors and secret panels. When they reached the room, Vivian Valentine greeted them.

"Good to see you Rachel," said Vivian as she turned from her computer. "Your Heavy Arms is complete now."

Rachel walked over to take a look over the edge and gasped. "It's beautiful," she exclaimed. "It's as majestic as I imagined it to be."

"Want to take her for a spin?" asked Howard with a grin. "We just finished the simulator not too long ago, thanks to your brother's genius with computers."

"Would I ever!" shouted Rachel as she smiled widely. She jumped out of the open window onto Heavy Arms' shoulder, and she slid quickly down to the cockpit. Kreed laughed.

"Now I know I've recently seen that before," he said. Jin smiled as he stepped up to the ledge.

"I like her style," said Jin as he followed by jumping onto Wing Zero's wing, and began his decent to his cockpit.

"I don't fell like jumping," said Stephen as he walked briskly to the elevator. "Start us up Vivian."

Vivian turned to start rapidly typing on the computer, and the other pilots entered their Gundams.

"Simulator is up and fully functional," said Vivian. "Ladies and gents, we are locked and loaded, Sit and back and have a blast."

They were immediately thrown into the virtual realm of the flight simulator, and the Gundams all stood facing each other. "Well how should we do pairing here?" asked Stephen. "Rachel makes us uneven now."

"I'll go ahead and gauge Rachel's ability," said Jin.

"For something new," started Anita," how about we try a three-way battle. Kreed, Stephen and I will be in an all out fight. Jin, give Rachel a run for her money."

"Don't get too confident," said Rachel. "I designed this baby, and I know everything there is to know about all these Gundams. You'd do well to fight me as if I'd been piloting this for years."


End Chapter Fourteen


Once again, I apologize for the wait, but this may become the norm with it being the norm. If you could find it in your hearts, especially if you're a personal friend, I'd like to have some more reviews, because more people will read this if they see it rakes in a lot of reviews.
