Twins of Hope and Peril
Chapter 1: You've Seen Them
Okay there are some name switches here. Since the twins don't like their given names they created nicknames for themselves.
Serenity- Zero (she is also the youngest of the pair)
Harmony- Hunter (oldest by 10 minutes)
Serenity and Harmony sat in the library of Quatra's huge mansion on Earth. Their stuff was at their feet.
Now tell me what happened girls? Quatra said gently.
Wufei and Trowa leaned against opposite walls listening intently to what the twins had to say. They knew if they were here like this then something had happened to Relena, and Heero'd be pissed. (yes that implies that Heero is still alive.)
Hunter and I were chasing each other outside when I heard men talking. We stood at the corner of the house and watch these men covered in black approach the house. Many of them had guns and there was an insignia on their jackets.
What did it look like?
It kind of looked like the Preventer's uniform insignia, Hunter said quietly.
I'm not going to even ask how you know that but what did the insignia look like?
Hold on a sec.
She flipped open her laptop and began typing and then messing around with the mouse. Done. This is what it looked like.
On a paint program she had the star insignia for the Preventers but this star was red instead of the normal yellow. There was a black lighting mark through half the star. The other two looked at it closely.
It looks like the Preventers are begin corrupted, Quatra said in distaste.
It sounds like you were expecting it Quatra, Zero said.
I feared as much Serenity.
For the last time I AM ZERO NOT SERENITY!
Sorry Zero.
That's better.
Hunter shook her head at her twins antics. She didn't want to tell the others on what she knew was going to happen if they were allowed to rise from the ashes of the glory that they had once. Most of the members of the Preventers were old members of OZ. Their plot was simple get rid of the upstarts that crushed OZ twenty years ago by using their own organization against them. However years before many of the gundam pilots got out of that due to their families. They couldn't afford to orphan their families much like their own once. Hunter was a loner more often then not and she hid secrets well in her laptop. No one had yet cracked the codes to get into it.
Getting up Hunter retreated to the room that was dubbed hers in the past. Sitting down at the table she lay her head down and cried silently into her arms. Never had she shown anyone that she cried. Her mother was in danger and she had yet to crack the codes and know why it was that her entire life was rarely spent with her mother but her mother's friends. Not that she wasn't grateful to learn as much as she had. Wufei taught them to fight. Duo taught them mechanic stuff and to use guns.
Are you all right?
Mother's in danger and we can't even do a thing about it.
I know Hunter, I know.
Why is it though that they want mother?
I guess because of her background.
Zero why is it we've never seen a picture of our father?
I don't know... unless daddy had something to hide.
Its nothing.
Nothing my ass what is it?
Maybe dad was a gundam pilot.
You'll look into it right?
Yeah I'll look into it.
Zero whipped the tears off of her sister's face.
Now no more tears over mom. She can take care of herself.
She just nodded. Zero laid on her sisters bed as her twin began to work on her laptop. The dull thudding of her fingers on the keys faded out until sleep claimed the twin called Zero.
Hunter noticed that Zero had fallen to sleep on her bed AGAIN! Getting up she stretched and placed a blanket on her sister to make sure she didn't get cold. She grabbed her computer and stashed it in her hiding place in the room and curled up beside her sister and joined her in slumber.
