The silent teen held the Amazon at gunpoint. Her guards surrounded the both of them. Neither one was backing down nor heeded the warning shouts from around them.
"Drop your weapon Capt. Yuy!" The female commander yelled.
"Heero don't do it! Please lower our gun," Quatre interjected.
Nemesis took stock of her situation. She knew that she could beat Heero but that would only add more fuel to the growing fire that was raging inside of him. She needed a different plan to get out of this.
"You already figured out that Duo is Death." She stated keeping a steady gaze at the boy. Heero gave one quick nod. Then Nemesis added, "And you my friend is-"
"War" Heero whispered the rest of her sentence. He finally lowered his weapon.
"I'm sorry that you had to find out this way."
"YOU KNEW?! You knew this entire time! Why?!" Heero was getting mad again.
"Of course I knew. As your chosen protector it was my duty to know. Zeus and Hera as well as your father and Duo's mother did not want another repeat of the same incident all those centuries ago."
Nemesis dropped her gaze before continuing. "I watched you and Duo throughout the years come together have a family live to be older than time itself. During those times the gods felt that there was no need to wake your other personas.
But in this life time you were turned into a uncaring unemotional tool of war and I was not going to stand-by and let you cast Duo away like he was some type of high school crush that you could just forget."
"And that's when you got involved with Duo." Heero's voice grew distant.
"You were being stubborn. You were trying to ignore the feelings that Doctor J grounded out of you. I merely got involved with Duo to bring those emotions out faster." Nemesis admitted, and she was right, if Heero wasn't being such a total jerk to Duo, Duo would not have left but no.
He had to be the Perfect Soldier. He chose to ignore his own feelings which in turned hurt Duo. Now all this crazy shit about Duo being a god and him being one as well was almost too much to swallow.
God only knows what other surprises were in store for them. Nemesis calculations were correct. She managed to lay the perfect plan. She got pregnant, whether it was intentional or not, the gods saw the opportunity for a love that was lost so long ago to be renewed once again. When Nemesis told them what they could do to prevent a senseless death both pilots agreed.
~ Flashback ~
The nursery was quiet except for the soft cooing sounds cooing from the baby. Duo couldn't accept what was going to happen to his only daughter. To just find out about her and then have her suddenly snatched away from him was too much.
By this time Heero held Duo in his embrace lightly stroking his braid and back. For some strange reason it felt right to hold Duo in his arms as if they were always together, and it didn't matter if Duo was another boy. Heero's thoughts were interrupted when Duo asked a question.
"There must be something that we can do?" Violet orbs looked pleadingly into Prussian blues. Heero opened his mouth to answer when they heard, "Actually, there is something that you can do."
Nemesis approached them looking run down and beat-up, but she continued. "I received a messaged from the gods on Neo-Olympus. It stated that the child will live provided that if you, Duo, agree to the arrangement."
"Like what?" He asked with one raised eyebrow.
"I'm not going to pussyfoot around with you on this. The terms are simple. A) I renounce my right as birthmother and give it to you. B) You as the 'birthmother' must get married and C) You must get married and consummate the marriage before midnight tonight."
"Now hold the phone! What kind of freaking arrangement is that?!" Duo was not a happy camper.
"You either swallow your pride and do it or let her die. The clock is ticking Maxwell."
Duo looked into the expressionless face of his partner. Heero nodded his head in silent agreement that this was the only way.
Duo turned back to the female warrior. "Okay, Nemesis. If this is what I have to do to save our daughter then I'll do it, but somehow I don't see you as marriage material." Duo said brightening the gloomy mood a little.
Nemesis smiled and shared a knowing look at them. "Your right Maxwell. I'm not the marrying type. However, if I had met you when I first ascended to the Amazon throne and you were of proper birth then maybe."
"So what do I do now? It's not like I can take an ad out in the paper." Duo walked over to the bassinet and gently placed Alexis down. She fallen asleep in his arms not that long ago.
Nemesis smile grew eve more. This couldn't be more perfect it the gods themselves have planned it. She was up to something and Duo knew it couldn't be good. "The answer my sweet Shinigami is staring you right in the face."
/Oh, no! She doesn't mean---/ Duo was starting to sweat bullets.
"Ahh, but I do." Nemesis put on her sultry voice and looked from Duo to the mute Wing Zero pilot.
"Fine. I'll do it." Heero finally answered after being silent throughout the entire conversation.
"WHAATT?!" Duo's eyes popped out of his head.
"I'll do it under one condition. No one else will know about this until we tell them."
Nemesis shook her head like a doll. "See Duo that wasn't so hard. I'll make the preparations for the ceremony. I suggest that you find witnesses to sign the certificates. Later."
"But-" Duo tried to protest but Nemesis was out the door quicker than driving a nail in a coffin. Well, his coffin to be exact.
"Shit! Heero, man. Um, you don't have to do this. You, uh I mean that is to say-" Duo was beside himself. He couldn't make heads or tails of what just happened. Heero placed one hand on Duo's shoulder and put the other one under his chin and forced violet eyes to look at him.
"I'm doing this because I want too Duo. I really didn't see myself living after the war, but now I have a reason. I've been denying myself of feelings for you and I hated Nemesis for taking you away from me, which made me realize how much I cared for you."
Duo could only stand there speechless. Never has Heero said this much with so such passion. Heero wasn't finished shocking the braided youth.
"I know that it is sudden to rush something like this but I wanna be with you no matter what and make this work." Duo was so happy that he started crying. He hugged Heero putting everything he had into the hug.
Heero knew that he made the right decision. He would never forgive himself if he sadden Duo again. Now, only one more thing to do to make this moment perfect. He wrapped his arms around Duo and whispered in his ear.
"Duo, will you marry me?"
Duo cried harder. Heero just made him the luckiest guy in the world. "Yes. Yes Heero I will marry you." He whispered back.
Heero finished wiping the tears off of Duo's heart shape face. He was about to kiss him when Duo grabbed his hand partically pulling his arm out of place. Not that it really hurt mined you.
"Duo, where are going?" Heero asked as Duo lead him out the nursery.
"We need witnesses, right?"
"Hai" Heero answered still not sure where they were going.
"Well, I know just who we can ask." Duo said.
Ten minutes later they were standing outside the door of Zechs Marquise and Lucrezia Noin. Duo's neverousness came back as soon as they were told to enter the room.
~ End Flashback ~
Heero was about to say something else when the object of all their problems began waking.
"Are you all right Miss Relena?" Noin inquired helping the girl to an upright position.
"Yeah. I think so. My head just hurts that's all. What happened?" She asked.
"Woman, have you lost what little mind you have left? You just turned Death a loose in the mortal world. That's what happened!" WuFei spat.
"What???" Relena was clearly confused.
"We just discovered that Duo is an immortal and somehow Miss Relena you woken his dormant side." Noin quickly explained.
"I didn't want to believe my dreams." Relena spoke mostly to herself. She started to cry again. "I knew that Heero and I were meant to be together. We were suppose to get married have a family but I never imagined that he and Duo were destined that way."
"Your selfish actions brought about a chain reaction with the rest of the immortals. It's only a matter of time before they surface." Nemesis barked. "I warned you to stay away from the pilots but no.
You continued feeding into Duo's anger but instead of you killing him this time around you managed to bring the axe down on all of our necks. You better pray to whatever god that you have and hope that Duo and Shinigami's memory are intact when they merge into one."
Nemesis walked away before she went with her first plan and that was to eliminate the blonde.
"Don't you think that you were a little harsh on her Nemesis." Quatre said from behind the tall warrior.
Nemesis turned to the Arabian. "It was no less than what she deserve. If she would have listened to the Fates the first time Death and War would have lived out their existence peacefully."
"So what happened?" The petite blonde asked.
"To make a long story short. Catrina was jealous of Shini because he was with Odin. Not only that but Shini was pregnant with Odin's child and that was enough to drive Catrina crazy. She killed Shini and in do so she also killed Odin. Their lifelines were intertwined. As revenge for killing his lover and unborn child, Odin killed her with his bare hands."
Everything was always about Duo back then even now and Relena couldn't bare it anymore.
"I think that we've heard enough of the story Nemesis." Relena went over to Heero in hopes of trying to gain his heart. "You don't really believe all that nonsense do you? I mean-" But Heero cut her off.
"The story is true Relena and you know it. You have pushed me far enough. If and when Duo returns we are outta here." Hero said trying to get a hold on his rising temper.
"Heero, you can't man that?" Noin went beside the princess knowing what was coming. The soldier leveled a deadly look at the princess.
"Something happened this morning between Duo and me. I had a flashback from a long time ago. Duo and I have always been together. You, Relena, have no part in my future nor were you ever a part of my past.
Should you decide to interfere with any of us again---" Heero eyes narrowed as blue flames flickered in them as his voice lowered. "---I will kill you."
Relena staggered back and slumped against Noin crying hard on her shoulder. Noin could only put her arms around her to soothe away the hurt caused by the soldier's threat. Zechs, having been quiet so far, didn't sit well with the results.
"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN HER LIKE THAT!"
The former Oz soldier lunged at the youth, but Heero quickly dodged the attack. He grabbed onto the older man; both went down as Heero caught his foot in Zechs' stomach flipping him over. Zechs landed on his back with a resounding thwack.
Both soldiers were quick to recover. They begun sizing each other deciding what would be the best plan to take out the other. Nemesis watched with intensity. She knew it was only a matter of time before Heero made his final transformation, and this fight was evident of that. Flames danced rapidly in Heero's cobalt orbs.
::Zechs!:: Nemesis called out the warning.
::Do not try to persuade me to back out!:: Zechs spat.
::I know that you want to protect Relena. However, if you fight Yuy now before Duo returns, I can not guarantee our safety::
::He has treated her badly since I've been here and I will no longer stand- by and watch him treat her that way any more::
The Lightening Count lashed out toward Heero. His right connected to they young boy's jaw. Heero took the full impact of the strike. Blood trickled down the side of his mouth. He tasted the bitterness of the red substance. His pulse rate climbed from the rush he was feeling of having to fight his rival.
Heero aimed for Zechs' stomach again. The blow made him double over and drop to one knee. While Zechs was bent Heero swiveled on one foot, striking with the other at Zechs' head. Another loud crack was heard. It was Zechs' helmet crackling down the middle.
After gaining some of his breath back, Zechs got to his feet once again. He charged Heero in hopes of winning the match against the fearsome gundam pilot. For every hit that Zechs made Heero blocked it but Zechs wasn't as lucky. Heero's movements were too quick for him to follow and defend himself.
Zechs was not prepared for the next strike against him as he swung for Heero's head. The teen ducked and swept the count's feet from beneath him. Once again Zechs found himself on his back.
Heero back flipped landing with his feet around Zechs head trapping him. Heero was about to snap Zechs' neck when he was suddenly propelled through the air then he slid across the dining hall's finely polished wood floor.
"Zechs are you alright?" Nemesis asked as she held out her hand to help him to his feet. His helmet divided in half form the repeated onslaught from the Wing Zero pilot. The broken mask revealed rich flowing Platinum blonde hair. Zechs' bangs fell neatly into place barely hiding light sky-blue eyes.
"Yeah, Thanks"
"I told you not to engage him in a fight. You can't win!" Nemesis proclaimed. "Why doesn't anyone fucking listen to me!"
"Why? He's nothing but a mere boy who happens to a gundam pilot."
"Heero is no mere boy. Because you stupidly challenged him, the call of the fight triggered the rest of his transformation. Look at him."
Everyone in the hall looked at the smaller teen, and then they all took cover. Heero was engulfed in a bright florescent blue light. Seconds passed as the light explodes from around him. Heero emerged with longer hair as well as a taller body frame.
His pectoral muscles glistened through the half-opened black leather vest. The short sleeves also showed well-defined biceps. Long muscular legs were hidden under form fitted black leather pants. The outfit was completed with knee high black leather boots.
"Oh, shit! This can't be good" Zechs growled.
"Okay, woman! I am tired of you yanking our chain! Tell us what the hell is going-on?" WuFei seethed. He unsheathes his sword and held it on Nemesis. This was definitely not good. Since Sally wasn't in thee room, any control over the Altron pilot was next to impossible.
"I'm not telling you a damn thing Chang!" Nemesis barked back.
She knows what's going to happen, but she didn't care. This madness was going to end. Quatre jumped for the dark haired boy but it was too late. WuFei's sword already hit its mark. Nemesis clung to her stomach as blood seep through her fingers. Quatre held on to her trying to stanch the flow of red. His hands and wrists were drenched with it.
Aquamarine eyes stared into black orbs. "You didn't have to kill her WuFei"
"She had been playing us ever since she arrived here. Nemesis had orchestrated the whole situation between Maxwell and Yuy. She knew that they had magical powers and it was only a matter of time before that power was unleash."
The small blonde checked for a pulse. Nothing.
"But WuFei, you heard what Heero said and you know that he wasn't lying about Relena. Everything that Nemesis did was to prevent Relena from interfering with Duo and Heero's relationship again. She has also helped us fight against Oz."
"She will be our down fall Winner, and I will not stand by and watch her tear this team apart." The dark eyed teen countered.
"This isn't right." The Arabian whispered as crystal tears stream down his angelic face. At the same time a heavy down pour begun outside. Mara was still standing next to the window. She glanced out and saw thick storm clouds. In the far off distance lightening struck every few minutes.
/Tears from the heavens/ She thought.
WuFei stood ready to leave. "Justice has been served."
Words spoken that will change their lives. Everything happened at once. WuFei fell unconscious to the floor. Then the foundation began to rumble.
"IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE!" Noin yelled still holding Relena.
Furniture pieces chattered around the hall. The tables and chairs slid across the floor. Above Quatre, a chandelier began crumbling. Trowa saw this and sprang into the air. The guards, Relena, Zechs, and Noin watched in awe as Trowa morph into a large lion. His thick brunette mane hung to one side covering an emerald eye. Huge tan wings were spreaded about shielding Quatre from the shards of glass.
"Good merciful Hera!" Mara shouted. Trunks and the others ran to the window. They couldn't believe that sight before them. A fire-breathing dragon descended upon the estate. It was enormous. Smoke filled the hall as it exhaled.
The creature peered into the dining hall, its dark eye zoomed in on the unconscious form of the Chinese warrior and in one quick fluid motion it leaped in through the broken window. The green scaly beast transformed into a stream of fire. It entered WuFei's body like a snake and disappeared from sight. It the situation couldn't get any worse, Quatre suddenly cries out.
The blood that covered him seeped into his skin. The downpour outside turned into a full-scale storm. A flash of burning white light encircled the desert prince. Quatre was on his hands and knees crying uncontrollably.
The light slowly ebbs to reveal massive angelic wings that fluttered gently behind the newly transformed being. The white body armor covered Quatre's torso was decorated with a low relief etching a cosmic battle. A white chain armor kilt covered his mid-section area ands topped just above smooth creamy thighs. Quatre's full battle amore was completed with matching gauntlets and laced-up sandals with shin guards.
The occupants in the hall could not admire the view of the angel. The bright glowing white light that radiated from him blinded them.
In all the chaos and confusion everyone forgot about Heero. The twins went over to check on the boy but they were sent back. The Japanese boy stood his full height of six-one. His unruly chocolate hair was swept back into a long ponytail.
"Unbelievable" Trunks said mostly to himself.
"You know? I always wanted to know what the god of war looks like." Mara voiced to Trunks. He just frowned and looked at her with a cold blue gaze.
"Mara, what did mom say about those three?" Trunks asked referring to Trowa, Quatre, and WuFei.
"From what I've just witness I would have to bet that Quatre is the angel fallen from grace. Trowa is the mythical beast, and WuFei is the last dragon of Justice."
"Why is Quatre a fallen angel?" Ka asked.
"He's a Arch-Angel to be precise and he was cast down to Earth because he fell in love with one of the beings of here." Mara explained.
"Wait don't tell us---" Zechs said as he waved his hand to prevent Mara from continuing. "Let me guess. He fell in love with Trowa." Mara nodded her head. "Are there any more surprises that we should be aware of?" Zechs injured.
"No. I think that's everything." Mara answered.
The remains of the broken chandelier began to move. Nemesis rose from underneath the rubble of glass.
"MOTHER!" Ka and the other Imperial guards shouted. Nemesis took in the scene around her. She instinctively pulled out a long shared form her abdomen. The jagged glass was nest to the gaping hole where the Altron pilot ran her through.
She tightly grabbed the crystal piece and pulled. The sickly sound of blood could be heard as the piece gave way from being stuck to her flesh. The wounds that she sustains mended automatically. No trace of even a scar was left.
"What took you so long to wake?" Trunks asked with a smirk. That look reminded her of his father so much it hurt but there was plenty of time to think of friends later.
The Amazon dropped the glass and it shattered into tiny fragments on the wood floor. Silver-blue eyes danced with mischief as she smiled at the demi- Saiyan. "I'm well over eleven hundred years old Trunks. Please allow me some time to resuscitate. Besides, I kind of fell asleep."
Nemesis eyes locked into Prussian-blues immediately. She knew something was different about him but couldn't put her finger on it.
"Where's Shini?" He asked.
"I'm not sure Odin." She admitted not sure of how he would handle the news.
"This is unacceptable Nemesis" He responded in a calm voice.
"If it wasn't for the fact that o stopped me in the first place Odin, he would be here right now. So, the only thing that we can do is wa---"
"SOLDIERS!!! Oz soldiers are entering the city!"
A communications officer ran in cutting off Nemesis. Odin didn't take too kindly for the intrusion. The officer was lifted from the floor and gravitated toward the half god. An invisible chokehold was the young officer's reward.
"What's the meaning of this?" Odin demanded. The officer tried to take-in air but it was useless, Odin was slowly squeezing the life out of the poor boy.
"Odin, we are in the middle of was and you want to kill a military servant who just informed us that we are under siege?"
Odin tossed it over in his head for a moment and released the teen. The boy ran out of the not sure what the heck just happened but he wasn't going to stick around to find out either.
"Now Odin, if you are finished scaring the hired help, please assist me with WuFei."
He followed Nemesis over the still unconscious youth. Nemesis looked down at the shameless sight of the Chinese boy and nudged him with her boot. WuFei instinctively went into a battle stance before he got his barings together.
"You! But I---I" He sputtered.
"Killed me?" The young scholar nodded his head. "You forgot one very important thing about me Chang. I am an immortal just like you. If you had your battle sword, I would be dead." Nemesis explained.
"What are you talking about?" WuFei took a good look around him. His narrow obsidian eyes landed on Quatre first. The blonde was an angel adorn in pure white. Then he noticed that Quatre was tenderly hugging a gigantic beast of some sort. The low purring gave away that it was cat. The one visible emerald orb suggests that either WuFei was dreaming or that animal was Trowa. Lastly, WuFei's gaze fell upon someone he had only seen in dreams of forgotten memories.
~ Start of Flash Sequence ~
"Chang, make sure that Shini does not go out alone." The monotone vice instructed. Onyx eyes looked into worrisome Cobalts.
"Odin"
"Someone what Death and I'm not about to let them have him. Not without a fight."
"Shini can take care of himself." The Asian officer offered.
"I know that and I can always count on you my friend" The demi-god replied.
"I will protect him with my life"
"I know you will WuFei"
~ Flash ~
"NOOO!!! An anguished cry was heard thought the camp and the echo was felt over the entire hillside. The commander ran quickly into the tent. Blood. It was so much blood that Asian officer almost tossed his stomach.
"Odin!" The commander saw the young demi-god shooting invisible daggers at his lover's murderer. The fey god didn't even notice his friend's arrival as he exchanged words with the noble.
"I did it for us Odin" She cried out.
More harsh words were dealt but it didn't stop the wrathful god from making god on his threat. In on swift motion Odin strangled the jealous princess before his fell to his death. The Chinese officer watched in silence as the four deities chanted words in an ancient language that would reunite the lover once again.
"Chang, I will be taking over Odin's army. Have the men ready to move out." The tall figure said.
"I'm sorry for your loss Sir."
"Don't worry" The deity answered as cobalt eyes began to water. "We shall see them again."
"Very well. What are your orders Lord Ares?"
"I'm going back to Olympus. During that time I want you to burn this place of the ground. Then march on to Athens. The Athenian army need some help." The deity shimmered from sight along with the other three.
The leading officer walked out of the tent and announced what had happened. The commander stood in front of the tent just a few feet away. He held up his right hand and a ball of fire formed. The blazing sphere did not burn his hand for it was a part of him. The orb grew until it was the proper size to consume everything inside the temporary home that Shini loved so much.
Flames licked-up toward the sky as he sent a prayer to see his beloved friends again.
"Commander Chang, the men are ready now."
"Very well. Let's depart from this place of sorrow." The Chinese officer whispered as he turned away from the resting-place of Odin and Shinigami.
~ End of Flash Sequence ~
"Someone had stole some weapons made by Hephaestus. You were mortally wounded in battle and you requested that Ares finished the job. The gods of your country made it so you would separate from your immortal form. The dragon would once again reunite with you when you protect those who you cherish the most." Nemesis added in.
"I remember. Odin?"
"Yes, WuFei. It's me" Rare smiles spreaded across both of their faces. A loud explosion rocked the foundation.
"Okay boys the stroll down memory lane is over." Nemesis said.
"We can't counter the attack without Duo." WuFei said.
"Nemesis. We need to got Greece." Odin stated.
"We do not have time Odin. Duke Dermail is ready to destroy the Sanc Kingdom then he's moving on to Crystal Tokyo and once he's finished with that we might as well kiss the known Universe good-bye."
Another loud explosion erupted. This was not good. Of all the most inconvenient time for an attack. The immortals just gained their power and memories and o top that Duo still has not returned. Nemesis headed out the door when the communications officer showed-up again.
"Excused me Your Majesty?" The officer said bowing slightly.
"Yes. What is it?" Nemesis replied feeling tired. She hasn't had any rest since the banquet and that was three days ago. She couldn't understand how in blue blazed Heero worked on twenty-four hours of sleep sometimes even less than that. Her attention was brought back when the officer mentioned Dermail.
"What did you just say?"
"Duke Dermail is waiting for an answer Your Majesty" The young teen repeated.
She was too tired to listen to the message again. Nemesis read the officers thoughts.
"Shit!" Nemesis uttered as she ran off to the main conference room. The last time she was in this room it was discovered that Duo had been captured and kinds of Hell broke loose after that.
The Amazon flipped a series of switches and opened a channel to speak with Dermail.
"So nice of you to return my call Nemesis." The old man mocked.
"It's Your Majesty. Remember Dermail I out rank you by title only." Nemesis leaned forward all playfulness gone from her tanned face. "Let's cut the bullshit Dermail. The Sanc Kingdom has no intentions on surrendering to Romfellers, so you might as well blow that notion out your ear."
"Your Majesty, you seem to be under the illusion that you can beat the Foundation. We have you out numbered." Dermail boasted.
Nemesis went back to her reclining position and put her feet up on the table. Another bad habit she pick-up from a long ago friend. "That my be true but I have a dirty little secret." She smirked.
Her look totally unnerved Dermail. His face faltered somewhat but he recovered quickly.
"You have nothing that can save you and don't forget I have you daughter."
"And I would greatly appreciate it if you return her to me so she can receive a proper Amazonial burial."
Dermail's face completely lost any composer that was left. The girl was his bargaining chip for the rebels to surrender. How could this woman possibly know that the child was dead.
"Why, Duke, you seem a bit shocked about something. Is everything all right?" Nemesis taunted.
"No. Everything is fine. We have the body preserved."
"Good. I will send my attendant to retrieve her. I also have another request." Nemesis said as a last minute idea popped into her head.
"If it's within reason."
"Amazonial burials last for 7 full days and the first night takes place under a full moon. And seeing that a full moon is not for another two days I request a cease fire until the day after the burial rite." Nemesis asked.
Dermail was little skeptical. He looked at the warrior trying to find anything that smelt like a trap, but the only thing he saw was sorrow in haunting Silver-blue eyes.
"Very well. I will hold off attacking until suck time but I warn you . If you deceive me in any way I guarantee you that your execution will be most unpleasant." He ended the transmission.
Nemesis buried her face in her hands. "Good merciful Hera. Now what?" She said out loud to herself.
"Maybe you should listen to Odin and go to Greece." A monotone tenor spoke out in the quietness of the room.
Nemesis gave a low groan. She could feel a migraine coming on. "Not now Ares and what are you doing her?" She asked raking the appearance of the tall deity.
"Were you asleep when Zeus told you what you should do when they reawaken?" The other immortal questioned as he ran his fingers through dark unruly chocolate hair.
"Meaning?" She was starting to get irritated with him.
"Meaning that the Fates prediction will come to pass." He smiled at her as he walked around the conference table.
Nemesis gave it some thought. "How could I be so stupid."
All of the pilots were missing the one most single important element as good soldiers.
"Tell Pegasus to take you to the old temple of Zeus in Athens. From there Odin will show the way." Then he disappeared into thin air.
Alone once again Nemesis mused to herself. "Well, I guess we are off to Greece."
~ TBC ~
A/N: Sorry, it took so long to post but I've been busy with school and work. Plus, I've been sick a lot. I'm sick now so please have petty on me ^_~
Anyway, tell me what you think about the turn of events now that every one has gained their powers and what do you think that they will find in Greece? Has any one guessed Ares part in this yet? If so, let me know.

The silent teen held the Amazon at gunpoint. Her guards surrounded the both of them. Neither one was backing down nor heeded the warning shouts from around them.
"Drop your weapon Capt. Yuy!" The female commander yelled.
"Heero don't do it! Please lower our gun," Quatre interjected.
Nemesis took stock of her situation. She knew that she could beat Heero but that would only add more fuel to the growing fire that was raging inside of him. She needed a different plan to get out of this.
"You already figured out that Duo is Death." She stated keeping a steady gaze at the boy. Heero gave one quick nod. Then Nemesis added, "And you my friend is-"
"War" Heero whispered the rest of her sentence. He finally lowered his weapon.
"I'm sorry that you had to find out this way."
"YOU KNEW?! You knew this entire time! Why?!" Heero was getting mad again.
"Of course I knew. As your chosen protector it was my duty to know. Zeus and Hera as well as your father and Duo's mother did not want another repeat of the same incident all those centuries ago."
Nemesis dropped her gaze before continuing. "I watched you and Duo throughout the years come together have a family live to be older than time itself. During those times the gods felt that there was no need to wake your other personas.
But in this life time you were turned into a uncaring unemotional tool of war and I was not going to stand-by and let you cast Duo away like he was some type of high school crush that you could just forget."
"And that's when you got involved with Duo." Heero's voice grew distant.
"You were being stubborn. You were trying to ignore the feelings that Doctor J grounded out of you. I merely got involved with Duo to bring those emotions out faster." Nemesis admitted, and she was right, if Heero wasn't being such a total jerk to Duo, Duo would not have left but no.
He had to be the Perfect Soldier. He chose to ignore his own feelings which in turned hurt Duo. Now all this crazy shit about Duo being a god and him being one as well was almost too much to swallow.
God only knows what other surprises were in store for them. Nemesis calculations were correct. She managed to lay the perfect plan. She got pregnant, whether it was intentional or not, the gods saw the opportunity for a love that was lost so long ago to be renewed once again. When Nemesis told them what they could do to prevent a senseless death both pilots agreed.
~ Flashback ~
The nursery was quiet except for the soft cooing sounds cooing from the baby. Duo couldn't accept what was going to happen to his only daughter. To just find out about her and then have her suddenly snatched away from him was too much.
By this time Heero held Duo in his embrace lightly stroking his braid and back. For some strange reason it felt right to hold Duo in his arms as if they were always together, and it didn't matter if Duo was another boy. Heero's thoughts were interrupted when Duo asked a question.
"There must be something that we can do?" Violet orbs looked pleadingly into Prussian blues. Heero opened his mouth to answer when they heard, "Actually, there is something that you can do."
Nemesis approached them looking run down and beat-up, but she continued. "I received a messaged from the gods on Neo-Olympus. It stated that the child will live provided that if you, Duo, agree to the arrangement."
"Like what?" He asked with one raised eyebrow.
"I'm not going to pussyfoot around with you on this. The terms are simple. A) I renounce my right as birthmother and give it to you. B) You as the 'birthmother' must get married and C) You must get married and consummate the marriage before midnight tonight."
"Now hold the phone! What kind of freaking arrangement is that?!" Duo was not a happy camper.
"You either swallow your pride and do it or let her die. The clock is ticking Maxwell."
Duo looked into the expressionless face of his partner. Heero nodded his head in silent agreement that this was the only way.
Duo turned back to the female warrior. "Okay, Nemesis. If this is what I have to do to save our daughter then I'll do it, but somehow I don't see you as marriage material." Duo said brightening the gloomy mood a little.
Nemesis smiled and shared a knowing look at them. "Your right Maxwell. I'm not the marrying type. However, if I had met you when I first ascended to the Amazon throne and you were of proper birth then maybe."
"So what do I do now? It's not like I can take an ad out in the paper." Duo walked over to the bassinet and gently placed Alexis down. She fallen asleep in his arms not that long ago.
Nemesis smile grew eve more. This couldn't be more perfect it the gods themselves have planned it. She was up to something and Duo knew it couldn't be good. "The answer my sweet Shinigami is staring you right in the face."
/Oh, no! She doesn't mean---/ Duo was starting to sweat bullets.
"Ahh, but I do." Nemesis put on her sultry voice and looked from Duo to the mute Wing Zero pilot.
"Fine. I'll do it." Heero finally answered after being silent throughout the entire conversation.
"WHAATT?!" Duo's eyes popped out of his head.
"I'll do it under one condition. No one else will know about this until we tell them."
Nemesis shook her head like a doll. "See Duo that wasn't so hard. I'll make the preparations for the ceremony. I suggest that you find witnesses to sign the certificates. Later."
"But-" Duo tried to protest but Nemesis was out the door quicker than driving a nail in a coffin. Well, his coffin to be exact.
"Shit! Heero, man. Um, you don't have to do this. You, uh I mean that is to say-" Duo was beside himself. He couldn't make heads or tails of what just happened. Heero placed one hand on Duo's shoulder and put the other one under his chin and forced violet eyes to look at him.
"I'm doing this because I want too Duo. I really didn't see myself living after the war, but now I have a reason. I've been denying myself of feelings for you and I hated Nemesis for taking you away from me, which made me realize how much I cared for you."
Duo could only stand there speechless. Never has Heero said this much with so such passion. Heero wasn't finished shocking the braided youth.
"I know that it is sudden to rush something like this but I wanna be with you no matter what and make this work." Duo was so happy that he started crying. He hugged Heero putting everything he had into the hug.
Heero knew that he made the right decision. He would never forgive himself if he sadden Duo again. Now, only one more thing to do to make this moment perfect. He wrapped his arms around Duo and whispered in his ear.
"Duo, will you marry me?"
Duo cried harder. Heero just made him the luckiest guy in the world. "Yes. Yes Heero I will marry you." He whispered back.
Heero finished wiping the tears off of Duo's heart shape face. He was about to kiss him when Duo grabbed his hand partically pulling his arm out of place. Not that it really hurt mined you.
"Duo, where are going?" Heero asked as Duo lead him out the nursery.
"We need witnesses, right?"
"Hai" Heero answered still not sure where they were going.
"Well, I know just who we can ask." Duo said.
Ten minutes later they were standing outside the door of Zechs Marquise and Lucrezia Noin. Duo's neverousness came back as soon as they were told to enter the room.
~ End Flashback ~
Heero was about to say something else when the object of all their problems began waking.
"Are you all right Miss Relena?" Noin inquired helping the girl to an upright position.
"Yeah. I think so. My head just hurts that's all. What happened?" She asked.
"Woman, have you lost what little mind you have left? You just turned Death a loose in the mortal world. That's what happened!" WuFei spat.
"What???" Relena was clearly confused.
"We just discovered that Duo is an immortal and somehow Miss Relena you woken his dormant side." Noin quickly explained.
"I didn't want to believe my dreams." Relena spoke mostly to herself. She started to cry again. "I knew that Heero and I were meant to be together. We were suppose to get married have a family but I never imagined that he and Duo were destined that way."
"Your selfish actions brought about a chain reaction with the rest of the immortals. It's only a matter of time before they surface." Nemesis barked. "I warned you to stay away from the pilots but no.
You continued feeding into Duo's anger but instead of you killing him this time around you managed to bring the axe down on all of our necks. You better pray to whatever god that you have and hope that Duo and Shinigami's memory are intact when they merge into one."
Nemesis walked away before she went with her first plan and that was to eliminate the blonde.
"Don't you think that you were a little harsh on her Nemesis." Quatre said from behind the tall warrior.
Nemesis turned to the Arabian. "It was no less than what she deserve. If she would have listened to the Fates the first time Death and War would have lived out their existence peacefully."
"So what happened?" The petite blonde asked.
"To make a long story short. Catrina was jealous of Shini because he was with Odin. Not only that but Shini was pregnant with Odin's child and that was enough to drive Catrina crazy. She killed Shini and in do so she also killed Odin. Their lifelines were intertwined. As revenge for killing his lover and unborn child, Odin killed her with his bare hands."
Everything was always about Duo back then even now and Relena couldn't bare it anymore.
"I think that we've heard enough of the story Nemesis." Relena went over to Heero in hopes of trying to gain his heart. "You don't really believe all that nonsense do you? I mean-" But Heero cut her off.
"The story is true Relena and you know it. You have pushed me far enough. If and when Duo returns we are outta here." Hero said trying to get a hold on his rising temper.
"Heero, you can't man that?" Noin went beside the princess knowing what was coming. The soldier leveled a deadly look at the princess.
"Something happened this morning between Duo and me. I had a flashback from a long time ago. Duo and I have always been together. You, Relena, have no part in my future nor were you ever a part of my past.
Should you decide to interfere with any of us again---" Heero eyes narrowed as blue flames flickered in them as his voice lowered. "---I will kill you."
Relena staggered back and slumped against Noin crying hard on her shoulder. Noin could only put her arms around her to soothe away the hurt caused by the soldier's threat. Zechs, having been quiet so far, didn't sit well with the results.
"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN HER LIKE THAT!"
The former Oz soldier lunged at the youth, but Heero quickly dodged the attack. He grabbed onto the older man; both went down as Heero caught his foot in Zechs' stomach flipping him over. Zechs landed on his back with a resounding thwack.
Both soldiers were quick to recover. They begun sizing each other deciding what would be the best plan to take out the other. Nemesis watched with intensity. She knew it was only a matter of time before Heero made his final transformation, and this fight was evident of that. Flames danced rapidly in Heero's cobalt orbs.
::Zechs!:: Nemesis called out the warning.
::Do not try to persuade me to back out!:: Zechs spat.
::I know that you want to protect Relena. However, if you fight Yuy now before Duo returns, I can not guarantee our safety::
::He has treated her badly since I've been here and I will no longer stand- by and watch him treat her that way any more::
The Lightening Count lashed out toward Heero. His right connected to they young boy's jaw. Heero took the full impact of the strike. Blood trickled down the side of his mouth. He tasted the bitterness of the red substance. His pulse rate climbed from the rush he was feeling of having to fight his rival.
Heero aimed for Zechs' stomach again. The blow made him double over and drop to one knee. While Zechs was bent Heero swiveled on one foot, striking with the other at Zechs' head. Another loud crack was heard. It was Zechs' helmet crackling down the middle.
After gaining some of his breath back, Zechs got to his feet once again. He charged Heero in hopes of winning the match against the fearsome gundam pilot. For every hit that Zechs made Heero blocked it but Zechs wasn't as lucky. Heero's movements were too quick for him to follow and defend himself.
Zechs was not prepared for the next strike against him as he swung for Heero's head. The teen ducked and swept the count's feet from beneath him. Once again Zechs found himself on his back.
Heero back flipped landing with his feet around Zechs head trapping him. Heero was about to snap Zechs' neck when he was suddenly propelled through the air then he slid across the dining hall's finely polished wood floor.
"Zechs are you alright?" Nemesis asked as she held out her hand to help him to his feet. His helmet divided in half form the repeated onslaught from the Wing Zero pilot. The broken mask revealed rich flowing Platinum blonde hair. Zechs' bangs fell neatly into place barely hiding light sky-blue eyes.
"Yeah, Thanks"
"I told you not to engage him in a fight. You can't win!" Nemesis proclaimed. "Why doesn't anyone fucking listen to me!"
"Why? He's nothing but a mere boy who happens to a gundam pilot."
"Heero is no mere boy. Because you stupidly challenged him, the call of the fight triggered the rest of his transformation. Look at him."
Everyone in the hall looked at the smaller teen, and then they all took cover. Heero was engulfed in a bright florescent blue light. Seconds passed as the light explodes from around him. Heero emerged with longer hair as well as a taller body frame.
His pectoral muscles glistened through the half-opened black leather vest. The short sleeves also showed well-defined biceps. Long muscular legs were hidden under form fitted black leather pants. The outfit was completed with knee high black leather boots.
"Oh, shit! This can't be good" Zechs growled.
"Okay, woman! I am tired of you yanking our chain! Tell us what the hell is going-on?" WuFei seethed. He unsheathes his sword and held it on Nemesis. This was definitely not good. Since Sally wasn't in thee room, any control over the Altron pilot was next to impossible.
"I'm not telling you a damn thing Chang!" Nemesis barked back.
She knows what's going to happen, but she didn't care. This madness was going to end. Quatre jumped for the dark haired boy but it was too late. WuFei's sword already hit its mark. Nemesis clung to her stomach as blood seep through her fingers. Quatre held on to her trying to stanch the flow of red. His hands and wrists were drenched with it.
Aquamarine eyes stared into black orbs. "You didn't have to kill her WuFei"
"She had been playing us ever since she arrived here. Nemesis had orchestrated the whole situation between Maxwell and Yuy. She knew that they had magical powers and it was only a matter of time before that power was unleash."
The small blonde checked for a pulse. Nothing.
"But WuFei, you heard what Heero said and you know that he wasn't lying about Relena. Everything that Nemesis did was to prevent Relena from interfering with Duo and Heero's relationship again. She has also helped us fight against Oz."
"She will be our down fall Winner, and I will not stand by and watch her tear this team apart." The dark eyed teen countered.
"This isn't right." The Arabian whispered as crystal tears stream down his angelic face. At the same time a heavy down pour begun outside. Mara was still standing next to the window. She glanced out and saw thick storm clouds. In the far off distance lightening struck every few minutes.
/Tears from the heavens/ She thought.
WuFei stood ready to leave. "Justice has been served."
Words spoken that will change their lives. Everything happened at once. WuFei fell unconscious to the floor. Then the foundation began to rumble.
"IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE!" Noin yelled still holding Relena.
Furniture pieces chattered around the hall. The tables and chairs slid across the floor. Above Quatre, a chandelier began crumbling. Trowa saw this and sprang into the air. The guards, Relena, Zechs, and Noin watched in awe as Trowa morph into a large lion. His thick brunette mane hung to one side covering an emerald eye. Huge tan wings were spreaded about shielding Quatre from the shards of glass.
"Good merciful Hera!" Mara shouted. Trunks and the others ran to the window. They couldn't believe that sight before them. A fire-breathing dragon descended upon the estate. It was enormous. Smoke filled the hall as it exhaled.
The creature peered into the dining hall, its dark eye zoomed in on the unconscious form of the Chinese warrior and in one quick fluid motion it leaped in through the broken window. The green scaly beast transformed into a stream of fire. It entered WuFei's body like a snake and disappeared from sight. It the situation couldn't get any worse, Quatre suddenly cries out.
The blood that covered him seeped into his skin. The downpour outside turned into a full-scale storm. A flash of burning white light encircled the desert prince. Quatre was on his hands and knees crying uncontrollably.
The light slowly ebbs to reveal massive angelic wings that fluttered gently behind the newly transformed being. The white body armor covered Quatre's torso was decorated with a low relief etching a cosmic battle. A white chain armor kilt covered his mid-section area ands topped just above smooth creamy thighs. Quatre's full battle amore was completed with matching gauntlets and laced-up sandals with shin guards.
The occupants in the hall could not admire the view of the angel. The bright glowing white light that radiated from him blinded them.
In all the chaos and confusion everyone forgot about Heero. The twins went over to check on the boy but they were sent back. The Japanese boy stood his full height of six-one. His unruly chocolate hair was swept back into a long ponytail.
"Unbelievable" Trunks said mostly to himself.
"You know? I always wanted to know what the god of war looks like." Mara voiced to Trunks. He just frowned and looked at her with a cold blue gaze.
"Mara, what did mom say about those three?" Trunks asked referring to Trowa, Quatre, and WuFei.
"From what I've just witness I would have to bet that Quatre is the angel fallen from grace. Trowa is the mythical beast, and WuFei is the last dragon of Justice."
"Why is Quatre a fallen angel?" Ka asked.
"He's a Arch-Angel to be precise and he was cast down to Earth because he fell in love with one of the beings of here." Mara explained.
"Wait don't tell us---" Zechs said as he waved his hand to prevent Mara from continuing. "Let me guess. He fell in love with Trowa." Mara nodded her head. "Are there any more surprises that we should be aware of?" Zechs injured.
"No. I think that's everything." Mara answered.
The remains of the broken chandelier began to move. Nemesis rose from underneath the rubble of glass.
"MOTHER!" Ka and the other Imperial guards shouted. Nemesis took in the scene around her. She instinctively pulled out a long shared form her abdomen. The jagged glass was nest to the gaping hole where the Altron pilot ran her through.
She tightly grabbed the crystal piece and pulled. The sickly sound of blood could be heard as the piece gave way from being stuck to her flesh. The wounds that she sustains mended automatically. No trace of even a scar was left.
"What took you so long to wake?" Trunks asked with a smirk. That look reminded her of his father so much it hurt but there was plenty of time to think of friends later.
The Amazon dropped the glass and it shattered into tiny fragments on the wood floor. Silver-blue eyes danced with mischief as she smiled at the demi- Saiyan. "I'm well over eleven hundred years old Trunks. Please allow me some time to resuscitate. Besides, I kind of fell asleep."
Nemesis eyes locked into Prussian-blues immediately. She knew something was different about him but couldn't put her finger on it.
"Where's Shini?" He asked.
"I'm not sure Odin." She admitted not sure of how he would handle the news.
"This is unacceptable Nemesis" He responded in a calm voice.
"If it wasn't for the fact that o stopped me in the first place Odin, he would be here right now. So, the only thing that we can do is wa---"
"SOLDIERS!!! Oz soldiers are entering the city!"
A communications officer ran in cutting off Nemesis. Odin didn't take too kindly for the intrusion. The officer was lifted from the floor and gravitated toward the half god. An invisible chokehold was the young officer's reward.
"What's the meaning of this?" Odin demanded. The officer tried to take-in air but it was useless, Odin was slowly squeezing the life out of the poor boy.
"Odin, we are in the middle of was and you want to kill a military servant who just informed us that we are under siege?"
Odin tossed it over in his head for a moment and released the teen. The boy ran out of the not sure what the heck just happened but he wasn't going to stick around to find out either.
"Now Odin, if you are finished scaring the hired help, please assist me with WuFei."
He followed Nemesis over the still unconscious youth. Nemesis looked down at the shameless sight of the Chinese boy and nudged him with her boot. WuFei instinctively went into a battle stance before he got his barings together.
"You! But I---I" He sputtered.
"Killed me?" The young scholar nodded his head. "You forgot one very important thing about me Chang. I am an immortal just like you. If you had your battle sword, I would be dead." Nemesis explained.
"What are you talking about?" WuFei took a good look around him. His narrow obsidian eyes landed on Quatre first. The blonde was an angel adorn in pure white. Then he noticed that Quatre was tenderly hugging a gigantic beast of some sort. The low purring gave away that it was cat. The one visible emerald orb suggests that either WuFei was dreaming or that animal was Trowa. Lastly, WuFei's gaze fell upon someone he had only seen in dreams of forgotten memories.
~ Start of Flash Sequence ~
"Chang, make sure that Shini does not go out alone." The monotone vice instructed. Onyx eyes looked into worrisome Cobalts.
"Odin"
"Someone what Death and I'm not about to let them have him. Not without a fight."
"Shini can take care of himself." The Asian officer offered.
"I know that and I can always count on you my friend" The demi-god replied.
"I will protect him with my life"
"I know you will WuFei"
~ Flash ~
"NOOO!!! An anguished cry was heard thought the camp and the echo was felt over the entire hillside. The commander ran quickly into the tent. Blood. It was so much blood that Asian officer almost tossed his stomach.
"Odin!" The commander saw the young demi-god shooting invisible daggers at his lover's murderer. The fey god didn't even notice his friend's arrival as he exchanged words with the noble.
"I did it for us Odin" She cried out.
More harsh words were dealt but it didn't stop the wrathful god from making god on his threat. In on swift motion Odin strangled the jealous princess before his fell to his death. The Chinese officer watched in silence as the four deities chanted words in an ancient language that would reunite the lover once again.
"Chang, I will be taking over Odin's army. Have the men ready to move out." The tall figure said.
"I'm sorry for your loss Sir."
"Don't worry" The deity answered as cobalt eyes began to water. "We shall see them again."
"Very well. What are your orders Lord Ares?"
"I'm going back to Olympus. During that time I want you to burn this place of the ground. Then march on to Athens. The Athenian army need some help." The deity shimmered from sight along with the other three.
The leading officer walked out of the tent and announced what had happened. The commander stood in front of the tent just a few feet away. He held up his right hand and a ball of fire formed. The blazing sphere did not burn his hand for it was a part of him. The orb grew until it was the proper size to consume everything inside the temporary home that Shini loved so much.
Flames licked-up toward the sky as he sent a prayer to see his beloved friends again.
"Commander Chang, the men are ready now."
"Very well. Let's depart from this place of sorrow." The Chinese officer whispered as he turned away from the resting-place of Odin and Shinigami.
~ End of Flash Sequence ~
"Someone had stole some weapons made by Hephaestus. You were mortally wounded in battle and you requested that Ares finished the job. The gods of your country made it so you would separate from your immortal form. The dragon would once again reunite with you when you protect those who you cherish the most." Nemesis added in.
"I remember. Odin?"
"Yes, WuFei. It's me" Rare smiles spreaded across both of their faces. A loud explosion rocked the foundation.
"Okay boys the stroll down memory lane is over." Nemesis said.
"We can't counter the attack without Duo." WuFei said.
"Nemesis. We need to got Greece." Odin stated.
"We do not have time Odin. Duke Dermail is ready to destroy the Sanc Kingdom then he's moving on to Crystal Tokyo and once he's finished with that we might as well kiss the known Universe good-bye."
Another loud explosion erupted. This was not good. Of all the most inconvenient time for an attack. The immortals just gained their power and memories and o top that Duo still has not returned. Nemesis headed out the door when the communications officer showed-up again.
"Excused me Your Majesty?" The officer said bowing slightly.
"Yes. What is it?" Nemesis replied feeling tired. She hasn't had any rest since the banquet and that was three days ago. She couldn't understand how in blue blazed Heero worked on twenty-four hours of sleep sometimes even less than that. Her attention was brought back when the officer mentioned Dermail.
"What did you just say?"
"Duke Dermail is waiting for an answer Your Majesty" The young teen repeated.
She was too tired to listen to the message again. Nemesis read the officers thoughts.
"Shit!" Nemesis uttered as she ran off to the main conference room. The last time she was in this room it was discovered that Duo had been captured and kinds of Hell broke loose after that.
The Amazon flipped a series of switches and opened a channel to speak with Dermail.
"So nice of you to return my call Nemesis." The old man mocked.
"It's Your Majesty. Remember Dermail I out rank you by title only." Nemesis leaned forward all playfulness gone from her tanned face. "Let's cut the bullshit Dermail. The Sanc Kingdom has no intentions on surrendering to Romfellers, so you might as well blow that notion out your ear."
"Your Majesty, you seem to be under the illusion that you can beat the Foundation. We have you out numbered." Dermail boasted.
Nemesis went back to her reclining position and put her feet up on the table. Another bad habit she pick-up from a long ago friend. "That my be true but I have a dirty little secret." She smirked.
Her look totally unnerved Dermail. His face faltered somewhat but he recovered quickly.
"You have nothing that can save you and don't forget I have you daughter."
"And I would greatly appreciate it if you return her to me so she can receive a proper Amazonial burial."
Dermail's face completely lost any composer that was left. The girl was his bargaining chip for the rebels to surrender. How could this woman possibly know that the child was dead.
"Why, Duke, you seem a bit shocked about something. Is everything all right?" Nemesis taunted.
"No. Everything is fine. We have the body preserved."
"Good. I will send my attendant to retrieve her. I also have another request." Nemesis said as a last minute idea popped into her head.
"If it's within reason."
"Amazonial burials last for 7 full days and the first night takes place under a full moon. And seeing that a full moon is not for another two days I request a cease fire until the day after the burial rite." Nemesis asked.
Dermail was little skeptical. He looked at the warrior trying to find anything that smelt like a trap, but the only thing he saw was sorrow in haunting Silver-blue eyes.
"Very well. I will hold off attacking until suck time but I warn you . If you deceive me in any way I guarantee you that your execution will be most unpleasant." He ended the transmission.
Nemesis buried her face in her hands. "Good merciful Hera. Now what?" She said out loud to herself.
"Maybe you should listen to Odin and go to Greece." A monotone tenor spoke out in the quietness of the room.
Nemesis gave a low groan. She could feel a migraine coming on. "Not now Ares and what are you doing her?" She asked raking the appearance of the tall deity.
"Were you asleep when Zeus told you what you should do when they reawaken?" The other immortal questioned as he ran his fingers through dark unruly chocolate hair.
"Meaning?" She was starting to get irritated with him.
"Meaning that the Fates prediction will come to pass." He smiled at her as he walked around the conference table.
Nemesis gave it some thought. "How could I be so stupid."
All of the pilots were missing the one most single important element as good soldiers.
"Tell Pegasus to take you to the old temple of Zeus in Athens. From there Odin will show the way." Then he disappeared into thin air.
Alone once again Nemesis mused to herself. "Well, I guess we are off to Greece."
~ TBC ~
A/N: Sorry, it took so long to post but I've been busy with school and work. Plus, I've been sick a lot. I'm sick now so please have petty on me ^_~
Anyway, tell me what you think about the turn of events now that every one has gained their powers and what do you think that they will find in Greece? Has any one guessed Ares part in this yet? If so, let me know.
Nemesis
