Chapter 11: When Shit Happens

Written by: Atikkin

I apologize for not updating. School has been rather, difficult. Then again, I'm trying to survive another year of it. But as for the story, I realize a couple people really enjoy it; therefore, I decided to update. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

It happened so fast. Relena jumped upon one man and threw him towards the other men. All three of them collapsed to the ground by the weight of the man thrown to them. Heero recovered quickly only to find the door to the roof closed, and screams echoed from behind it. He heard gunfire, but those sounds gradually died.

Duo pushed the man off of him. "Jesus what the hell just happened?" Duo said.

"I don't know," Heero muttered. He turned to the strange man next to them. He seemed to be searching for something by the rapid movementof his eyes.

"Oh shit," he said.

"What's the matter?"said Heero as henarrowed his eyes.

"The large disc I had. Do you see it anywhere?"

Gently, lightly, and carefully Relena moves through her mess. She turns and gazes at these so-called men of honor. She crushed her first victim by bashing his skull in. She slowly felt his cranium crack very little at a time, until she felt flesh ooze right out of his fractured skull. She held whatever remains he had before she threw them at the stunned recruits.

She drew closer to the second man, andfrightened him. Fear had been a good weapon after she swiftly stepped away from the aim of the gun. Bullets wereflying in mid-air while Relena stood by his side. And then her tongue darted out of her mouth and took a long lick of his face. As vicious as Relena had become, she decided to become bolder and she snapped her jaws closed. She felt his skin between her teeth as blood began to run. The man screamed to find the entire left side of his face torn from him.

The men could do nothing but stare at her. Relena crunched and savored the exquisite flavor of human blood and flesh. She spits out bits and pieces ofit from her,now, bloody cavern. She licks her lips and grins at the rest of her...targets.

"Next," she said before leaping at all of them. Her hands grabbed whatever she could get. Arms, legs, jaws, necks, eyes, heads, and so much more that Relena wanted to hold in her grasp as she watched these men die, slowly. She wanted to hear them scream for their life; unfortunately, these men didn't give her much of a good show. They all just collapsed like flies before her.

To ease her disappointment, Relena would wait for more to come. She wondered if she would grab at least one head. After getting one head, she would be very happy. She then stops and thinks for a moment. She had other skulls before. Strangely, she didn't have them with her. 'Now where did I put the others?' she wondered.

"Relena," someone called from the top of the stairs. Relena recognized that tone of voice. Her mind became fuzzy with those memories of the wars, the alliance, the Peacecraft family's elite squad, the whore in his bed, and then this. There, Heero stood on top of the stairs with Duo and the stranger following them. They halted when they caught sight of the massacre before them.

"Jesus Christ," Duo said.

"What did….this?' Heero muttered.

Daniel observed the bodies carefully. He grew concern of how these men were killed. They weren't like the others. Brutal, yes, but not the same as the other sort of killing methods; they take one thing away from these men, and Relena had not. His eyes narrowed. 'Something isn't right with her. If she truly thought of killing them, they would at least not have their heads attached. What's going on with this girl? Human compassion running through her, or is it something else that's bothering her?'

"Lena, where are you?" Duo called.

"You're friend would have killed me with this thing," Relena said. Her echoed from the bottom of the stairs. After hearing her voice, Heero jolted down the steps, pass the human carnage and onto the ground. When he regained his posture he met face to face with someone….who didn't look like Relena.

Heero nearly collasped just by the look of her. Black dreadlock looking hair hung from her head, sliding pass her shoulders, and onto her waist. Her sky blue eyes continuously changed their hue to a nightmarish looking gold. She wore the clothing of a paramedic and is drenched in blood. Her physique also said much: lean muscles cover almost her entire body, her skeletonis practically visible,and asfor her skin, it is transparently white with different shades of color; like a reptile.

Duo came down the steps along with Daniel who gazed at Relena with no surprise. Her appearance had all been too familiar to him. 'She human though,' he thought. He heard Duo gasping and stepping back. He actually fell over, not taking his eyes off of her.

"Like I said before I was interrupted," Relena said while staring at Heero. "You're friend would hurt me with this," She said holding onto the siren device. Daniel's eyes expanded. He hadn't realized that she tore it out of his hands. 'Is she that quick? She's not like them completely then.'

"Relena," Heero muttered.

"Heero," Relena said.

"What in God's name happened-"

"Good question, Heero. What did happen?" Relena asked. "Frankly, I don't know. But to tell you the truth, I really like my extreme makeover. It has a killer refresh rate. Very spicy if you add a little blood, and eating a human fetus when the mother-to-be can sit back and watch."

Heero nearly dodged his head back. What is she saying? Relena doesn't speak this way; not the he Relena knows. Relena and violence, don't mix. But the sight before him, right now, really made him think differently.

Relena curves her eyes behind her after hearing more men coming up the steps. She licks her lips with a very red tongue. She looks around to find an escape route.

"Lena, what did you do…?" Duo said.

"I don't' know what you mean," Relena said, in a very polite tone. She smiles at Duo, until it suddenly turned into a glare. Chills ran down Duo's back. He gulped, hard. 'Sweet Jesus, what the fuck is going on?' he thought.

"They're coming," Daniel said.

"Oh, shit. What do we do?" Duo muttered, after snapping his attention away from Relena, but he didn't take his eyes off of her.

"We'll head to the roof and try to escape from there. Relena-" Heero called.

Relena had not listened to what they were saying. Instead of following, she went the other way. Heero leaped after her and caught her shoulder, only to receive her hand around his throat. Heero suddenly had to gasp for air as his body had been lifted from the ground. He choked. He glanced at her arm and felt that powerful grip. Heero couldn't believe her strength!. 'What in God's name?' he thought.

"Shit happens," She suddenly said. Daniel eyes expanded by those words as he stumbles backward towards the blood-soaked wall, and he drops to the ground muttering: "Oh God."

Relena drops Heero to the ground. The perfect soldier stares up at her with a surprised gaze. He felt for his neck and felt the pressure still there. "Relena…."

She just stared at him as if she didn't' understand what he just said to her. She turns away and walks to the corner. Heero slowly gets up as Duo walks behind him. "Dude," He began.

Someone screamed.

Carefully, it lingered through the darkness. It never disturbed the earthly presence below the streets. It curled against the walls of the ancient buildings, until it reached its destination. The old Crystal Building of Metropolis stood proudly against the vast city of gloomy buildings. This tall edifice belonged to a family known as 'Yutani.' The Yutani family, once, were small social groups of scientists who came up with the first radioactive micro-organism, which changed all of technology forever. With that sort of technology, the Yutani family created multiple chains of weaponry; both lethal and non-lethal alike.

Years later, the Yutani family had become the top military service in the entire world. They sold off products for the highest bitter just to claim what they what into their greedy hands. But that's not what has this monster interested.

The Yutani possessed pieces of technology that is not their own; therefore, it has no choice but to destroy what remains of what these inferior creatures have. It must fix whatever mess its brethren had caused. And possibly find the one the Yutani had been hiding for many years. It knew the importance of such a small creature. Though it may seem rather disgusted of having to watch over this little one. It has to have it returned before these mindless prey come up with ideas in the near future to create powerful weapons….including bio-weaponry…..

Another like it is out in a different jungle of massive trees, roads, nocturnal animals, and some idiotic prey. They guard the vast doors which lead to the very place it needs to go to. It is there. It is the only thing that these creatures cannot tear open with their so-called 'technology.' If only they knew that they cannot open it, not without 'the new one's' helping hand. However, this monster is not here because of that. It is here for what is underneath these large grounds. Within this place, there is a construct.

This creature is almost baffled with these inferior beings. How could these things control a monster without any means of intelligence, and keep it captive while their blood provides instantaneous death by the slightest touch, and could wisp away anything that is concrete or metal? It is almost making this monster feel as if it is becoming the weakest link. But as it knew, it wasn't the fault of him or his brothers; it is the fault of the ones who came here first after so many centuries…..

The third one came to a place of luxury and peace. Nothing in this place seem to be over-crowded with a herd full of inferiors monkeys. Mostly, this place is heavily guarded by the maintenance of technological cameras designed as heat-seekers. Grunting with an annoyed tone of the 'copy cats,' the creature just vanishes through the darkness of the vegetation surrounding its environment. Once or maybe twice this creature had come across guards with heavy weapons; however, these guards soon end up….skinned alive.

Making its final decoration, it left three corpses swinging upon the nearest wall. Then it climbed up the steps, suddenly smelling a familiar scent that only its brethren had. Slowly, it came towards the edge of a small balcony and a large window. Inside, it heard voices. It sat down while staring attwo people arguing at each others throat. Not understanding them made matters worse; fortunately, it had ease, for the very mechanism it had surely helped with its hearing and its linguistics-

"What had it done? Why do you hold such an abomination?" The man said clutching to his suit, agonized by the harmful truth he had to hear. First, his wife had been gone for so long, only to come back bruised. Then one day, the child had been theprime attention. Next was the blood test, and they came negative. He knew that he wasn't the father.

"What it had done to me, I don't care," the woman argued while holding her baby who cried with a fit. "But this is still your child."

"That monster is not my child. It is a beast. A thing with the blood of those animals who have done nothing but kill-kill, kill, kill-", the man said, frantically.

"But our baby is not like that-"

"What have you done, my wife, huh? What did you do when I couldn't find you out in the darkness? When you came back you had shown no hint of fear, but when you find out about this pest in your womb-"

"What is wrong with you?"

The creature just sat there, finally realizing the purpose of its brethren and the reason why the large incident had occurred. Few know the truth, but none will know about 'new one,' untilitsreached a certain age in life.Perhaps it would take a long while.It knew for certain that its brethern will be here for a longwhile.The monster rose from its hiding place and made its way into the shadows. Soon, it would have to meet here again, along with one who is soon to stand in leadership. When that time comes, this 'new one' will have to return with it, with them.But it only worried about the inferior idiots around it. They might do something, since their existence is known to them.

Relena punched the final man across the hall. The impact sent him outside after crashing through a window. Hearing his screams die after seven seconds, Relena regained her posture. She covers her face and glances at the corpses around her at the same time. She doesn't recall fighting these men, but her body remembers her movements. It almost felt as if her mind and body had been separated for one split second, and it has stared to piece itself back together again.

What are these things in her mind that cause her to daydream? Relena could feel the slight headache at the side her mind. She felt as if—no she feels something in her mind. Relena rubs her finger tips against the side of her head, feeling something stick out from her cranium. Relena then glances at her hand and found-her abnormal blood, upon her hand, smearing her clothes, and creating a puddle across the ground.

Relena grew dizzy from all of this vertigo. She slammed against the wall and slowly felt her body sink to the ground. Her eyes wander around. Everything around her felt oozy. The last thing she saw was Heero's face.

"Hurry up," Duo said, seeing that the close was clear. Daniel and Heero carried Relena to the car. The funny thing to Heero was that he didn't think that Relena was so heavy. 'No,' he thought. 'Relena isn't heavy at all. How is it that she is now?'

"Duo, drive," Heero said, getting in the back with Relena. Duo didn't make a second thought and he quickly got into the car and started driving. He turned to Daniel who glanced over at Relena.

"Her head," he muttered. Heero glanced over at him and glared.

"Who are you?"

"Lieutenant Daniel Wilks, was first command to the squad you see out there, but now they're all under control by Keyes. I can't seem to do anything to track her down when I'm around them."Daniel said.

"Lieutenant," Duo said. "What's a guy with your rank doing out here, anyway?"

"How did you know where do find Relena?" Heero said.

"My mission from Keyes was to track her down and capture her. That was all. But after he told me what I was coming after, I tried to get out of it."

"Tracking Relena…?"

"Yeah…..sort of," Daniel said.

"You sound like you're hiding something," Duo said.

"I have much to hide of what's coming down, pal," Daniel said. Heero's face grew hard by the sound of this character. He turns his attention to Relena whose head began to spill with inhuman blood. It shined with a crimson hue, but looked almost purple. The dread-locks, as her hair, even stunned Heero. He felt for them and they felt like reptilian skin.

"What happened to you?" Heero whispered.

Queen Peacecraft had a concerned look on her face. She had not known where her daughter might be hiding this time. Everyday, the young baby girl would walk toplaces where people cannot seem to spot her. Even with the cameras planted across the garden don't seem to pick up the small child. She almost seemed invisible to everyone. Little did Queen Peacecraft know, her daughter was watching her afar, keeping track of where her mother approaches. How she hates it when her mother bothers her. Sometimes, she wonders if she ever gets the hint that she hates it when she's disturbed.

Relena sat somewhere in the garden. She liked being around this place where it is best to climb. She now sits upon a large monument by the tip of her toes. She didn't fall, nor she did she worry much over balance. She glances down towards the grass and saw a concrete clock flat upon the grass. Like she was hearing something, Relena silently stared at it. She didn't even sense her Mother approaching.

"Relena, get down from there. What do you think you're doing?"

Relena turns her head slightly and sees her mother. Suddenly her vision changes and something in her mind began to warn her that her mother had something that might do harm-

"Mommy," The girl said.

"What did I tell you? Get down from there!"

"….Shit….happens," Relena said.

"What did you say?" Queen Peacecraft said almost screaming.

"Shit Happen," Relena said in a voice that was not her own-

Relena opens her eyes. Shegazes ather surroundings and found that she was in some room. The air is crisp and cozy. It did feel comfortable, but the pain in her head sure as hell didn't get better. She groaned. She reached for her head. She felt a cloth over it, shielding her wound. She turns her head and saw a computer not far from her. Her vision was blurry but she thought she saw her name upon the visual screen. Then she heard voices coming from the next room.

Her eyes curved to find her brother, her sister in law, the Gundam soldiers, and the stranger. Relena gazed at him. That same feeling in her mind, began to tamper with her vision. Relena rolled her eyes. "Fuck," she whispered.

"Who are you?" Millard asks while circling around Daniel like a shark. Daniel cautiously glanced over at Millard who wasn't too happy to find his sister looking like she just came out of hell. Her dreadlock hair, her skin discoloration, her bloody clothes, her yellow eyes, her abnormal blood, and not to mention the numerous deaths which came following Relena.

"My name is Daniel. I was a cop, but then I was a soldier who worked with the Keyes family. They use to be a group of biochemistry scientists who sought for military weaponry and a new age of bio-weapons warfare. Once I came to a sort of disagreement with Keyes's grand-dad and apparently I ended up in the freezer," Daniel said. "Anymore questions…?" Daniel asked.

"What does Keyes want with my sister?" Millard said.

"Sister…" Daniel said. "What are you the Peacecraft son, or something?"

"What else would he be?" Noin said. "Now answer the question; what does Keyes want with Relena?"

"You have absolutely no idea? With all that data with the computer you could have figured all this shit out by now."

"There are passwords all over the damn discs man. We're having trouble patching through, so we might as well ask you," Duo said.

Daniel remained silent for a long moment. He leaned against the chair for a moment. "Where to start," He muttered.

"Out with it," Heero said, almost demanding. Everyone in the room grew chills after that growl from Heero. Daniel decided to start talking.

"Five hundred ago before our so-called after colony technology had approached its greatest achievement, there were families all across America, who apparently, stumbled across interesting finds during the hottest summers of summers. Well, these findings were nothing more but pieces of weapons that were not supposed to be engineered until AC 178."

"Yeah, yeah get to the point," Duo said.

"Right, sure," Daniel said. "Keyes wants Relena because she obtains something special in her DNA. Keyes wants to use her DNA to further enhance his bio-weapons and I guess study Relena for some other experiments."

"Study," Duo said. "What the fuck do you mean study? That's a human being there!"

"Duo, last I checked, a human being cannot tear the heads off human bodies after a single stroke with their bare hands, nor had I ever seen them move with that kind of agility. Even that kind of strength is inhuman. There is also the fact she kills repeatedly like it's a drug-"

"My sister did not kill those people," Millard said.

"Believe what you want, but that's what's happening right now."

"Bullshit," Noin said.

"Hey, I was even there on a stairway of dead men. Relena had to have gone pass them somehow, Noin," Duo said.

"What in God's name is going on?" Trowa muttered.

"Okay, let me get this straight," Duo said. "Keyes wants to use Relena for this bio-weapons warfare while he studies her because she….slaughtered people."

"She's more than that, Duo," Daniel said. "Many years ago-five hundred years ago when I was dispatched to a mission I confronted someone……like her."

"Five hundred years…" Wufei said. Everyone stared at him with a funny gaze. This man is five hundred years old!

Relena felt her mind being crunched with something. It began to overwhelm her greatly just by hearing the name 'Daniel.' Her eyes rolled as she heard guttural sounds everywhere and roars echoing her mind. Her vision changes from small room to the darkened alley of the year 2018.

Chapter 12: The Daniel Chronicles

Who is Daniel? And why does he seem to know so much about Relena? And what is the thing that he mentions all the time?
