oOoOoOo
Relena protested against the lavender haired young immortal being her bodyguard but after his initial blow-up and their chat she had a change of mind about him. What really surprised her was when the quiet warrior kissed her. In all of her sixteen years she never felt anything quite like it and she wanted more.
Over the next couple of days Relena and Trunks were inseparable. Nemesis was pleased by the fact that her step-son stopped fighting his destiny, and that Relena came to the realization that Heero would never be hers.
oOoOoOo
The morning air was crisp. Today was a good day for a fight. The Sanc kingdom's mightiest warriors stood in front of an army of thousands. Mobile suites, ground suits, tanks, and air drop ships were as far as the eye could see.
Nemesis was positioned in the front with Heero and Duo to her left, and Quatre and Trowa to her right. Dark storm clouds slowly moved over the battle field. Duo and Heero's combined energy was starting to make itself known. The anger of the god of Death was potent. Some of the men were growing wary of the awesome sight.
"You mean to say that this is the only line of defense that the Sanc kingdom has to offer?" the commander mocked over the external speakers of his Mobile suit.
"You must be Alex. We will make you eat those words. The number one rule of combat is to never underestimate your enemies," Nemesis replied not impressed with the upstart.
"So, you're the pain in the Foundations ass? Once we capture you and seize control of the Sanc kingdom, Crystal Tokyo will be at our mercy," Alex boasted.
"Not likely." Nemesis leaped into the air flipping over in mid-air stretching out her glorious red-tip white wings. She floated above the Chosen Ones when the ground began to shake.
"Alex, what the hell is going on?"
"I don't know, Muller. It feels like an earthquake."
All the soldiers looked around them searching for the cause behind the disturbance.
"Oh, god! What the fuck is that!" Muller cried out.
In the distance behind the Gundam pilots a large shadowy figure was slowly approaching toward them. Nemesis smiled. The game was now set.
"Say good-bye to your meaningless existence!"
Luminous clouds rained down lightening. A light shower pelted the troops on the ground as the Gundam pilots made their transformations. The ground cracked opened as the fired breathing reptile descended upon them. The beast let out an ear piercing roar – blowing fire in the darkening sky.
The Foundation's army could not believe what they were seeing.
"It's not real, men! ATTACK! ATTACK!" Alex shrieked.
He was leading the front line troops. He wanted to win and nothing, not even a dragon was going to stop him.
:Okay, Heero, Duo, you guys know what to do: Nemesis communicated mentally as she kept the mobile suits and airships from advancing.
Heero and Duo ran forward. As if everything was in slow motion, they morphed into Death and War.
Shini's fluttered his wings as he stretched them. No other words were spoken as he joined his rightful place by his husband's side. Remembering days longed since past, when mortals feared them, they were unstoppable. In this new age people no longer believed in gods, but today they shall witness the god's rebirth. Death and War shall be feared once again.
The wind blew around Shini's chestnut braid waved freely behind him.
Odin was waiting for partner. "Are you ready, koi?"
"Yes, let's go and pay our friend a visit," Death said excitedly. The couple shimmered from sight with a fizzle of light.
oOoOoOo
The Romerfeller's army aided heat seeking missiles to thwart the gigantic beast approach. The jade dragon growled stomping its way toward the enemy when the thudding ceased. A pin drop could be heard as dust clouds settled around the creature as shouts of cheer could be heard over the internal speakers in their cockpits.
"We destroyed the monster!" one officer yelled.
"It was possibly a machine trying to scare us," another officer replied.
But as the fine particles of dirt settled a titanic shadow could be seen. The morning sun reflected a rainbow hue of jade. Black menacing orbs peered from behind a massive leathery wing. The fell beast lowered the bat like appendage to get a panoramic view. Then as if the noise around them had been shut off, the dragon launched into the sky. It opened its' mouth, spewing out fire – incinerating everything in its path with an over head pass.
Alex and Muller watched as their troops were incinerated by an animal that supposedly no longer walked the earth.
They didn't even noticed when Nemesis wiped out the 5th division sky unit. The Amazon queen was on the ground fighting through the mass of foot soldiers – unsuspecting of the on coming attack. A sniper was able to mark her and made a clean direct shot in her wing. Mobile suits were trying to over take her. The tall warrior retracted her wings in order for the injured limb to heal properly. One of the mobile suits cease without any type of warning. The mecha stood erect.
"Come-in Seivers! Do you copy?" asked Alex.
"I copy commander," the young officer answered.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Finish that bitch off so we can proceed to the castle and capture the royal matriarch," Alex yelled however he never received a reply.
Inside the cockpit of the still mecha a young soldier was slumped over in death. His mouth was opened in a silence scream as blood oozed from his eyes and nose; his brains sliding down the monitors onto the consoles of his machine.
oOoOoOo
The leader of the Romerfeller Foundation sat in his chair sipping a glass of imported wine. He thought about how close he was to obtaining the ultimate weapon, but that was not to be. Somehow Nemesis had managed to slip out of his grasp. He had severely underestimated her abilities – a mistake that cost him his lab. Years of research was destroyed by her hand was gone in a moment – there was nothing left that could be saved or savaged.
Dermail threw his glass at the wall. Its contents splattered against the white paint. The substance oozed down the wall inevitably seeping into the carpet, leaving a dark wet spot as it soaked to the padding underneath.
He was angry. Nemesis got a way, again – that bitch was causing more problems than the whole goddamn war, not to mention that Maxwell had gotten away also. Dermail pushed his thoughts aside as the facility lights began to flicker. The building shook then all was silent.
oOoOoOo
Two menacing cloaked figures stood in stillness. Violet and Cobalt eyes skimmed over the bodies of the soldiers that lettered the court yard at their feet. Odin and Shini had appeared before the group of men just inside the gates of the Foundation taking them by surprise. Unfortunately, for the soldiers the men were not human. Therefore, bullets and other such manmade weapons were of no use.
One guard charged Shini, trying to catch the young god of Death off balance but the guard's life ended as soon as he with a quick swing of Shinigami's scythe. In one fluid movement Shini pivoted on his right foot letting his weapon of destruction slice all in its path.
The other soldiers opened fired. Bullets sailed through the air toward its targets. The thrill of fighting was back. Odin stood in front of his lover as the bullets pierced his wings. Once the hail of gun fire ceased a clanking sound echoed around them as the slug of bullets fell from Odin's glowing white wings.
Shini threw open his wings as the couple made their way deeper into the building. A trail of black feathers was left in their wake.
"Looks like Hades is going to busy for awhile," Shini commented. Odin just grunted walking pass him.
Three levels later they found Dermial's office. He was hiding somewhere in a high security room.
"Let's invite our selves in," Shini said.
Odin rapidly punched the code to the side wall panel. The door immediately slid open allowing the demi-gods access.
They searched about the darken room.
"WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE DERMAIL! THERE IS NO ESCAPING!" Shini yelled to the four walls.
Odin scanned the room searching for clues that would help them located Dermail.
"Odin?"
"Shh."
Shini quiet. He watched his lover systematically sweep the room. The Death god absentmindedly ran his hands along a hidden wall panel. He jumped when a book case rotated half way in the wall to reveal a secret passage. Odin startled at the noise then proceeded down the long dark stair case. At the end both were met a gun point.
"You really didn't think that I would allow myself to be followed without some form of protection?"
"It doesn't matter. You're a dead man anyway, once we kill you the Foundation is finished," Odin said taking cautious steps into the underground garage.
"No, that won't happen. You see if you kill me then you won't be able to get the antidote for Pilot 02."
Shinigami froze. What antidote?
"You're lying," Shini shouted.
"Am I? Do you want to risk Maxwell's life? No, you don't," Dermail said preparing to leave in the stretch limo.
"You're forgetting one thing Duke – Maxwell no longer exist."
: Odin, what are you doing:
:Koi, you're a god – an immortal. I'm guessing Dermail gave you an untraceable toxin while in your human form. So, that means-:
:That means my human counterpart died: Shini worried his bottom lip at the thought.
:No, Duo is still alive but only if you stay in your god form:
:I will never be able to pilot DeathScythe again. I'm too big in this form:
:Don't worry love we will find a way:
The building shook before Odin could make his move against Dermail. Something enormous must have collided into it. The deafening gunfire outside suddenly stop. Heavy guttural breathing could be heard as the shutter doors were blasted open.
Shinigami filled the garage with feathers trying to hit Dermail but he jumped in the awaiting limo. The remaining soldiers who surrounded Odin and Shini fell dead. The War god glared at the fading image of the white car as it sped off kicking up dust.
"Kuso!" Shini cursed pounding the cement leaving a nice size hole.
"Calm down Shini."
"No Odin – that bastard got away. He-he…" Shini broke down. Odin dropped down to the ground to hug his lover. No words could comfort the upset half-god. Dermail, the murderer, got away and Shinigami wasn't able avenge his daughter's killer.
The couple looked up in time to see Nemesis staggered into the parking structure. She limped over to them, bloodied and bruised. The neat single plait was undone. Streaks of grim were on her face, arms, and leg. Her armor was cracked – riddled with bullet holes. Her cape was gone. The queen was no longer majestic.
Even Nemesis' favorite weapons (twin Sais) were damaged. One was broken in half. The other one's hilt guard was cracked and chipped. The Sais was useless and somewhere in the rubble her glaive was buried.
Trowa followed closely after the Amazon. He held onto Quatre's limp form. The angel's cuirass was covered with blood. Odin saw the small bullet hole in the once immaculate armor. Quatre's porcelain skin had taken on a clammy pasty pallor.
Brining up the rear was WuFei. His hair was no longer neatly pulled back into a tight ponytail. The obsidian tresses flowed freely framing his dirty oval face.
Just by looking at her Chosen One's visage, Nemesis didn't have to ask if they got Dermail. Plus there was no body as evidence. In time the newly awaken gods would become accustomed to life's disappointments.
With one final look around her tired group, the tall Amazon sighed. Today turned out to be a shitty day.
"Come-on guys, let's go home," Nemesis said smiling proudly at them.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: (jumps up and down) I updated! Well, I hope that none of you were disappointed with this chapter. I know it's been awhile since I've done anything with this. Now that I'm feeling motivated the next chapter won't take as long.
So, tell me what you think. Should Duo and Heero had have killed Dermail? What's going to happen now, now that he has got away. Don't know? Well, stay tuned and find out in the next chapter. Your comments and suggestions are greatly welcomed.

"You're very lucky young man," Sally said as she review her chart for her patient. "Someone in your condition shouldn't have been fighting in the place," she chastised further clearly showing her displeasure of his thoughtless actions.
The couple sat in stunned silence.
"What did-did you just say?"
"Well…" Sally began flipping through the overly stuffed medical file. "Apparently you're three months pregnant."
