AC 201 Heero and Wufei are preventors called in for an accident on a sweeper ship captained by Duo. However it was no accident there's a killer on board and it isn't human. If you like suspense and gore you'll like this horror story. (At least I'm hoping to create suspense I believed I managed it.)
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters I only get my jollies off on torturing them and my readers with horrible gory stories like the one below. Bandia and a bunch of other rich and talented folk own these characters. Please don't'sue me.
Warnings: Rated R just to be on the safe side contains yaoi, gore and minor amounts of smut.
Secondary warning: I don't think my stories are scary, not to me personally but I have gotten that in my feedback (few as there was but there was some). A kind reviewer wrote to me and said, "don't change your style of writing. It's yours. There are people out there that will appreciate it." I thank that person. So I haven't toned it down or changed how I write but I am giving you fair warning.
Jaaku na Gundam
(English Translation The Evil Gundam)
Chapter 11 Darkness and BloodBelow Trowa, Sally and Heidi watched helplessly as the three were thrown into the air. One of the guards flew past the scaffolding. The loud wet bang of his body breaking on the bay floor force Sally's frozen legs into motion. She raced to the fallen man her heart beating madly in her chest. Behind her the screams of the man caught in the hatch's door filled her ears.
Trowa jumped on to the scaffolding climbing like a monkey to reach Quatre who was weakly clinging to the top of the lift. Wufei reached him first.
"I got him," he yelled down to Trowa.
As if to mock their efforts a rain of sparks shattered the darkness of the bay as a power surge from the suit fried the control panel. Duo's curses could not be heard between the guard's screams and the loud wheezing noise of the lift as it began to descend.
Heidi swore and ran from the bay. She wasn't a tall woman nor a fast sprinter but Heidi ran as fast as she could fear giving her the adrenaline to cross the distance in seconds. She didn't bother yelling for help until she was out of the bay area.
Trowa had to leap out of the way of the descending lift. As soon as it stopped he leaped back up to the top. Together he and Wufei gathered Quatre up and quickly scrambled to the ground. They glanced up to see Duo fighting with the flaming control panel.
With inhuman strength Heero tore his hands free of the wires ripping many of them from the suits interior system. The wire around his throat tightened even more cutting off his air. He grabbed at the wire having a hard time trying to grip its slippery surface. In desperation he jumped back into the chair balancing precariously on its slippery surface. He managed to wrap a hand around the now looser cable. He tugged hard at the wire feeling the cable bite deeply into his hand. With a wet ripping sound the cable broke.
The wire had cut him deeply. His hand felt numb but Heero was more concerned about the guard caught in the door. While he had been trapped in the wires that guard had been only a few inches from him. His panicked screams made his ears throb. Heero raced to the hatch and pushed at it. He couldn't get much leverage on the slippery cockpit floor.
The hatch was practically closed and there was only around a two and a half foot gap between the edges of the portal. Thirty inches, Heero winced at the sight. The man had to have at least a thirty-six inch waist. He was good and pinned in. His being upside down wouldn't kill him only make him uncomfortable and frightened. Heero looked up through the crack. His legs were sticking up beyond the door kicking frantically.
"Mike!" Heero shouted "Mike, I'm trapped in here with you try not to panic."
"Officer Yuy?" he said his breath a choking sob.
"Yes, hold on. I'm going to try and get the door to open," Heero told the man.
Heero tried to looked around the cockpit but there wasn't enough light streaming in from the partially closed hatch. He felt around gently. He knew the inside of a Gundam blindfolded, however he was shocked to realize this Gundam was different. The control panel was missing and so was a lot of the controls a Gundam would have.
"Duo!" He shouted. He called again. Finally he heard a response.
"Where are the internal controls for the portal?"
On the platform Duo was alone. His jumper had caught fire and he rolled pulling his jumper off. He came up wearing his tee shirt and his boxes. The guard's screams had stopped. However, there was no way the control panel would be of any help at this point.
"Duo! Duo!"
It was Heero. In all the panic Duo had forgotten that Heero was trapped inside. He was asking for the internal controls.
"The control panel is burning," Duo yelled. "But I remember that it was on the chair like Zero."
Heero avoided the hanging wires as he felt around the chair arms' with his one good hand. The arms were practically smooth. The suit shuddered and a series of beeps sounded. The guard made a horrible choking cry. The hatched closed a few more inches.
"I can't find them!" Heero shouted turning back to the door. "The arms are smooth."
"It's there. In the arms," Duo insisted.
He turned back to the chair and searched again. Like before he felt the suit shuddered and he heard a series of beeps. This time the guard didn't cry out. He didn't have the breath to do it. Heero could feel the man struggling against his back. He raced back to the door pushing at it with all his might. Hoping to give the man a little more space.
He could hear Duo shouting at him to hurry. He sounded frantic. He felt something warm and wet running across the door and realized the man was being slowly crushed in two. Frantic, now he pushed against the door telling Duo he couldn't find the controls. It was too dark to see. The arms were smooth. The walls in the cockpit were irregular and foreign. He couldn't feel any other controls. He was actually starting to panic.
The suit shuddered and a series of beeps sounded again. The guard didn't make a sound but Heero could hear him kicking frantically as he was being crushed. The sound of his legs hitting the metal was like a frantic heart beat.
Heero pounded at the door. Knowing that the guard was dying right next to him. He breath was a shallow wheeze at this point. In all his years as a pilot he never had experience the brutal cruelty of death like this. The words the suit's first victim echoed in his head.
Shinigami isn't a demon.

Note: I had a real hard time writing this character. In order to capture all the action I have to change the pov several times yet I wanted it to still remain with Heero in the end. I hope I didn't confuse anyone. Please let me know what you think. Also I wanted to thank Starshifter for the reviews, commentaries and help. You're a Star! --Ani
