I do not own any of the Gundam characters etc. I'm just borrowing them.

Before I go any further I'd just like to say I'm very sorry for the long wait I've been very busy, going to school, working, running errands for my mom, and still mantaining my grades it's been very hard to find time to write and then when I found time to write my computer wasn't working. So agian I'm sorry for the over due chapter and I promise the next won't take so long to get out.

NOW ON TO THE CHAPTER...


Chapter 8

This is like déjà vu all over again

Yogi Berra


Escaping into the crowd that had surrounded the hospital building watching the fire men who had just arrived Relena keeping her head down and moving hurriedly made her way twisting and dodging around people, and made her way down the street.

Turning the corner and out of the sight of the crowd Relena hailed down a cab. Speaking in quick Japanese to the driver Relena in a matter of seconds was on her way toward Remand and Burns.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

However Heero and the rest at that moment were not feeling relief in fact quiet the opposite those who were left behind were feeling the first stirrings of panic.

Eyes closed and head back Heero focused on keeping his emotions under control after all he wasn't known as the perfect soldier for nothing.

Listening intently to the sounds around him Heero couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on a surprising thought for someone who was usually on top of everything.

Opening his eyes when he heard the quick tap of high heels Heero was meant with the sight of Lady Une just arrived making her way towards them her face thunderous.

Coming upon them like a bat out of hell the first words out of her mouth were "What the hell happened."

And Quatre being the peacemaker he was put it quiet simply with, "that's what were trying to find out.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Arriving at Remand and Burns Relena paid the driver and got out standing in front of the steel doors that led to a thirty-five impressive building Relena took a deep breath and made her way in.

Walking into the lobby Relena quickly made her way across the floor heading for the elevators.

She was half way there when she stopped someone was watching her slowly turning around Relena caught sight of six men dressed in black making there way toward her.

"Shit," was the first words out of her mouth and without a backwards glance broke out into a run heading for the stairs knowing that the elevator wasn't a good idea in this particular situation.

Pushing people out of her way moving as though the hounds of hell were on her tail Relena almost missed the shout of stop but she didn't miss the gunshots ringing and richouting of the walls as the men in black lost patience and pulled out guns.

With a curse Relena dove to the ground amongst the terrified screams of people scrambling out of the way of impeding danger on the ground Relena was temporaliy invisible thanks to the many bodies pushing and shoving but she new it wouldn't last already she felt them closing in on her their guns drawn and ready.

Quickly looking around Relena saw the lobby was designed in Greek architecture. Six huge Greek columns were situated around the lobby three on each side and assortment of benches, trash cans, and one reception and one information desk were not but ten feet away from her on her right and eight inches apart from each other.

Relena smelling the gunpowder in the air coming decidedly closer made a split second decision if they wanted a fight she was by hell going to give them one, innocent victims and all.

Rolling to her right Relena quickly rolled into a crouch. Quickly looking around Relena saw that the six had split into pairs and were slowly but surely moving closer to her shooting anyone that came toward them. Looking past them Relena saw the security team on the ground by the entrance to the building dead.

Feeling guilt assail her at all the innocent victims lying on the floor Relena pushed her emotions to the back of her mind for now was not the time to be feeling guilty.

Making a break for the information desk weaving her way around the many people still screaming and scrambling about Relena heard a shout and a bout of gun fire.

Hearing the screams of pain and the backlash of blood as the bullets hit targets meant for her. Relena arrived at the desk and dived over it rolling into a crouch as she hit the ground. Hearing the sounds of bullets hit the would Relena breathed a sigh of relief that she had made it in time.

Breathing evenly Relena heard sniffling and silent sobbing looking around Relena saw two women hiding under the desk.

Tears silently coursing down their faces and stark fear shining from their eyes Relena couldn't help but feel an ounce of pity for them but just as suddenly as it was there it was gone.

Letting a small comforting smile grace her features Relena brought a finger to her mouth and shhh'd a clear indication she wanted them to stay hidden and quiet.

After Relena made sure they understood her and would remain hidden Relena laid back against the side of the desk and concentrated.

Stretching out her senses Relena felt for the assassins' auras as they circled the desk like wary hunters. Relena feeling the blackness of their auras and there deadly intent hurriedly made a mental note of were they stood and how many people were around them.

After determining where they were Relena swiftly returned to her body. Opening her eyes Relena quickly righted herself into a crouch. Bringing her hand to her pant leg Relena quickly removed the gun that was holstered in her boot.

Bringing it fourth and holding it in one hand Relena quietly counted to ten then standing up Relena aimed for the two assassins on her right that were fifteen feet away then without hesitation pulled the trigger twice.

The bullets hit dead center just as she new they would and with a crunch and a splay of blood that showered the people that were cowering around them the two assassins dropped to the ground dead.

Jumping onto the top of the desk Relena swiftly located the last four assassins and doing a front flip off the desk Relena ran jumping over dead bodies, trash, briefcases, and people still breathing crying on the floor.

Heading for the nearest column on the right side Relena once again felt the sting of bullets heading her way minus two.

Making it to the column Relena twisted around the pew until her back was to it thinking she was safe Relena was unpleasantly surprised to hear the sound of gunshots on her right side. Relena instinctively drooped to a crouch just in time to because just were her head was now were two bullet holes.

A low growl in her throat Relena quickly spotted the offenders. Another two assassins had made their way to her side of the lobby and were currently aiming at her dead center.

With a curse Relena threw herself once again around the pew to its side which then put her in sight of the other two assassins.

Once again in a crouch hoping against hope that her low to the grown possession would help make her a harder target Relena calmly counted the seconds and the bullets still being shot.

Waiting for an opportune moment Relena finally heard the sound of bullets stopping and the sound of reloading. With a grin and a quick thanks to god Relane not wasting any time twirled around the pew gun in hand and running none stop ran straight for the two unprotected assassins.

Coming upon them in seconds Relena shot the first one in the chest and the second having enough time to reload his gun and fire missed her by millimeters acting quickly she stepped to the left then moving unto she was a leg away from him she kicked the gun out of his hand with a round house kick then using her momentum in the kick she turned her body all the way around and kicked him the chest sending him with a crack five feet away to land with a groan on the ground. Not thinking twice Relena once again brought the gun forward and moving toward him shot him in the head.

Stopping at the first body Relena bent down an picked up his gun that was still held in his rapidly cooling hand then without a backwards look she moved to the third pew.

Peeking out around the pew Relena at once moved back as a hail of gun fire erupted from the far side of the building.

A growl once again building in her throat Relena looked to her side and saw ten feet away was the doors the led to the stairs and a few feet away from them were the elevators knowing there was no way in hell that she would get there without being shot Relena couldn't help but let a chuckle out at the irony.

Concentrating again Relena tried to sense the last two assassin's auras but before she could even start looking for them Relena became aware of a mechanical buzz and smell close by. Her eyes snapping open Relena was meant with the sight of two cameras aimed at her. With an oath Relena raised one of her guns and shot them.

Damn she had forgot about the security cameras but before she could ponder that little mishap she became aware of footsteps it seemed her would be assassins had become impatient a mistake that would cause them greatly.

Very slowly she put her gun in one of her pockets of her jacket then taking the borrowed gun from the dead man she removed the clip then sliding down the wall unto she was down on one knee Relena dumped the bullets into her hand and put the gun on the ground softly then standing up Relena removed her gun once agian from her pocket.

Standing there gun in one hand bullets in the other Relena listened carefully judging their steps and the width of the building Relena was able to tell when they were right on her then turning and throwing her self from behind the pew into a roll Relena threw the bullets at their feet then coming up one leg on the ground another up Relena shot at the bullets on the floor and with a hiss the bullets exploded in the assassins faces and with a yell they both stumbled and fired their guns in panic and pain Relena not wasting any time drew her gun fired at the man closest to her then moving her hand around and inside the back of her coat Relena grasped the hilt of one of her knifes and with a hiss Relena threw the blade.

With a sickening crunch the last of the stray bullets stopped and with a gurgle the now dead man fell to the floor a blade sticking out of his forehead.

Standing calmly Relena made her way slowly toward the last dead man stopping in front of him she bent down and grasped the hilt of the blade and with a swift jerk the blade came free with bits of blood and brain.

Flicking the blade the blood sprayed the ground and a man on the ground crying openly on the floor. Not even bothering to apologize to the now blood soaked man Relena put her knife back into its sheaf.

Then once again making her way across the lobby floor stepping over dead men and living men Relena made her way to the elevator walking as though she was just an ordinary person and that she hadn't just killed six men without breaking a sweat or been wounded. Relena reaching the elevator doors waisted no time and pushed the up button.

Standing there less then a second a ding announced the arrival of the elevator and with a swish the doors opened and she stepped in pushing the top most level button Relena looked over her shoulder one last time at the now destroyed lobby and the terrified people still laying on the ground and with a little laugh the doors closed blocking her from the people now crying in relief on the ground.

Later the people who were left alive couldn't help but tell the Preventers in awe and fear that the women who had fought and later killed the six men, then walked away without a scratch had to have been an angel, an angel sent from hell.

A few miles away at the private hospital two men Milliardo PeaceCraft formerly known as the soldier Zech's Merquise and Heero Yuy also known as the perfect soldier made their way quietly out of the hospital and started toward Remand and Burns office building and the horrors that awaited them there.
