Konnichiwa Minna-san! I'm back! So this is part two of the little Haro Wars, Tieria's turn. This story is nearly complete which kinda depresses my because I like writing this story but I have about three other stories that I can post once this one is done. Well I've got nothing else to say so you can get started.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam 00 or its Characters, they belong to Bandai, Sunrise and Yun Koga. But Veda said I could borrow them for a bit.
Happy Reading!
Chapter Seven: …Tieria's Revenge
Lockon sighed as he tried to cool Tieria's body a bit. His fever had spiked to about thirty-nine point eight and while the boy was seeping, he was restless and his face held a look of discomfort and pain.
/Hallelujah shouldn't have done what he did/ Lockon thought, /Tieria's just too sick to be worked up so much/
He sighed again. He was exhausted but Tieria was just too sick to be left alone at the moment. He was also feeling a bit off, /I think I'm getting sick/ he thought, /I can't get sick now, someone needs to monitor him when his fever breaks/ he looked at his watch, /Ms. Sumeragi will be here in about an hour, I just need to hold out until then/
Hallelujah woke up feeling odd. His head was pounding and he was strangely warm.
/Allelujah…Allelujah…Allelujah…Allelujah-if-you-do n't-wake-up-this-minute-I-am-going-to-kill-you!/
"What is it Hallelujah?" Allelujah asked groggily.
/Why does my head hurt so much?/ Hallelujah said.
"Because you're sick," Allelujah said, "Go back to sleep, you'll feel better. But before you do, take over. I don't want to take the brunt of what Tieria does to you for what you did yesterday."
/Tieria's not going to do anything to us. He doesn't know how to have fun, so retaliation for what I did is not going to be possible for him to do / Hallelujah said, /But I'll humor you for a bit/
/Whatever/ Allelujah said, /Just don't come crying to me when Tieria gets you back. Sleep well/
"Yeah, whatever."
Tieria woke up several hours later when Sumeragi placed her hand on his forehead.
"Hey," She said, "How are you feeling today?"
Tieria sighed. He felt awful. His head was pounding, he was extremely warm, and the aches were the worse that they had been.
"That bad, huh?" Sumeragi asked, "How is your stomach feeling today?"
Tieria realized that his stomach was the only thing that wasn't bothering him. "It's not bad," He said, "I'm not hungry but I'm not nauseous."
"Do you feel like eating anything?" She asked.
"I'll have something light," Tieria said.
"Okay," Sumeragi said, "I'll be right back."
Sumeragi said as she left the room. Tieria then linked with Veda to give Haro its first assignment.
Haro entered Allelujah's room and like Tieria had been alone, Allelujah was alone. Haro pulled out the small packet that Tieria had given him the night before and got to work.
Hallelujah was jolted awake by a loud pop. And then another one and another and another.
"What the hell is this!?" Hallelujah exclaimed as he opened his eyes and found that there were several low power firecrackers going off in his room.
"This is what you get! This is what you get!" Haro chanted using Tieria's voice, "This is payback Hallelujah Haptism."
"So you set off Fireworks in my room!?" Hallelujah exclaimed. "You coulda killed me with this little stunt!"
"The worst it would have done was singed you a bit," Tieria said through Haro, "But I was nice enough to put that into consideration and I had Haro set them off close enough to wake you but far enough so you would not be hit."
"Damn you," Hallelujah said, "If I wasn't sick I would march my way to your room and wrap my arms around your neck until you stopped breathing and passed out."
"I will take that as a threat and I will do what I see fit about it." Tieria said, "Sleep well."
"Dammit Tieria!" Hallelujah exclaimed, "You get your ass over here right now so I can friggin' kill you!"
Tieria was feeling quite pleased with himself. He cut his link to Veda just as Sumeragi walked into the room.
"What were you doing?" Sumeragi asked, "I walked by Allelujah's room and Hallelujah was cursing your name up and down."
"I was paying him back for what he did to me yesterday," Tieria said.
Sumeragi sighed, "What has the fever done to you?" She asked, "Just don't go overboard."
"I won't," Tieria said as he started picking at the food that he had been given. He really wasn't hungry but he needed an excuse to get Sumeragi out of the room, "If you need to do anything, I'll be alright alone." He said, "I can always call you if I need anything."
"Are you sure?" Sumeragi asked, "You're really sick, Tieria."
"I'm probably only going to sleep anyway," He said, "There's no need to watch me sleep if you have other things to do."
"If you're sure," Sumeragi said as she watched Tieria abandon his fork, "Are you finished with this?"
"Yeah," Tieria said as he shut his eyes.
"Sleep well," Sumeragi said as she left the room.
Tieria then sat up and gave Haro the next set of instructions and when it was to follow through with them, just in case he didn't wake up in time.
Sumeragi sighed. She had never seen that sort of behavior from Tieria before. He was always so uptight. /Perhaps him getting sick like this was a good thing/ She thought, /But it's only a matter of time before his fever breaks…I really hope it's not that bad when it happens…but I have a feeling that it's going to get bad/ She sighed as she remembered how Lockon was acting when she took over for him, /I think Lockon's getting sick, that leaves us with only Setsuna and he doesn't get along with Tieria at all. Hopefully things will work themselves out before Tieria's fever reaches its peak…/
Haro quietly entered Allelujah's room and took out four cans. It stood in front of Allelujah's bed and began its work.
Sumeragi walked up to Allelujah's room with a small tray of food for lunch. She didn't bother bringing Tieria something to eat because she knew that he would take maybe one bite then leave the rest. And besides if Tieria wanted something, he said that he would call her first. She opened the door and got blasted in the face by something slimy, cold and purple.
"What the hell!?" She screamed forgetting that Allelujah was probably asleep. She walked into the room and spotted the culprit, "Haro, what do you think you're doing!?"
"Tieria's orders, Tieria's orders!" Haro said as it threw the last can of silly string at her, "Gotta go! Gotta go!" The small robot then escaped the room by floating over Sumeragi's head.
"What the hell is this shit?" Hallelujah said as he looked around his room, "Tieria you goddamn bastard! Allelujah, you're taking over for this one!"
"Sumeragi-san, what happened?" Allelujah asked as he too looked around the room.
"Haro is what happened," Sumeragi said, "And a delirious Tieria." She paused, "Do you want something to eat?"
"That would be nice," Allelujah said, "How is Tieria doing anyway?"
"It's hard to say with his most recent behavior," She said, "But his fever is up to thirty-nine point eight and I'm concerned that his fever could break at anytime now and he's gonna get really sick."
Allelujah sighed, "What are you going to do about it?" he asked.
"What can I do about it?" Sumeragi said, "Aside from keeping an ice pack on his forehead, have someone monitor him closely and hope he sleeps though it."
"I wish you could give medication to make it easier for him to deal with it," Allelujah said.
"If Moreno-san didn't tell me to keep Tieria off the fever reducers then I would be administering them to him every four hours," Sumeragi said, "I don't like seeing him suffer like that. I don't like to see any of my pilots suffer."
Allelujah smiled lightly, "You'll be a good mother someday Sumeragi-san," He said.
Sumeragi blushed violently, "W-what?!" She exclaimed, "Allelujah! You…you…Don't say things like that!"
"Why it's true," Allelujah said.
"It's embarrassing," She said, "Well I have to go check on Chris and Tieria."
Allelujah sighed and shook his head as a still flustered Sumeragi walked towards the door.
"I'll get a few of the other Haros to clean this mess up."
"Alright," Allelujah said, "Hallelujah, I'm going back to sleep and you're going to take over again."
/Fine, fine/ Hallelujah said as he took over, "Happy now?"
/Yes/ Allelujah said, /Sleep well/
"I hate you."
Tieria woke a while later to a cold hand on his forehead. He opened his eyes and came face to face with Sumeragi.
"You are an extremely devious person, Tieria Erde," Sumeragi said as Tieria sat up a bit, "Silly string, really?" He nodded, "The high fever must really be messing with your head for you to come up with something so jovial and childish."
Tieria shrugged. He didn't feel like talking he just wanted to give Haro the next set of instructions then get back to sleep.
"I'm almost afraid of what you're going to do next," She said, "Do you need anything?" Tieria shook his head as Sumeragi handed him the thermometer, "Yeah I figured that was the case." The small device beeped and Tieria handed it back to her, "It's come down a bit it's down to thirty-nine point six. You should try to get some sleep. Do you still want to be left alone so you can plot?" Tieria nodded, "Alright, just don't get carried away."
Tieria nodded again then gave Haro the careful instructions for the next phase.
The next time Hallelujah woke up he noticed a peculiar smell in his room. It was a chemical-like smell.
"What the hell is he trying to poison me?" Hallelujah exclaimed as he opened his eyes and sat up. Then something hot pink at the corner of his eye caught his attention. He got out of bed and went over to the mirror. And, he screamed. His hair was the same shade of vivid purple that Tieria's was and to make matters worse he had hot pink highlights and Tieria's pink sweater was tied around his neck.
"What's wrong Allelujah?" Feldt asked as she entered the room, "What happened to you hair?"
"Tieria Erde and his little pet is what happened to my hair!" Hallelujah screamed, "The bastard had his little bastard pet friggin dye my hair pink and goddamn purple!"
"Hallelujah," Tieria's voice said through the Haro unit, "Should you be using that kind of language in front of a young lady such as Feldt?"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Hallelujah roared, "I CAN SAY WHATEVER I GODDAMN WANT TO GODDAMMIT!"
"You're going to give yourself a terrible headache if you keep screaming like that," Tieria said.
"I DON'T FRIGGIN CARE!" Hallelujah said as he untied the sweater from his neck, "And this is what I think of your goddamn sweater!" He took out a lighter, set one of the sleeves on fire then dropped the sweater on the ground to watch it burn.
"You really are too much, Hallelujah Haptism," Tieria said, "But I am a step ahead of you." At that remark the sprinkler system kicked on and the burning sweater was reduced to a smoldering pile of what used to be a pink sweater. "And Sumeragi should be there in three…two…one…"
"Just what the hell is going on here?" she asked. She took notice of the lighter in Hallelujah's hand and the remains if the sweater, "As much as it amuses me to see that thing burn, you are forbidden to do so on this ship. Fire is bad Hallelujah Haptism!"
"Tieria set this up!" Hallelujah said as his head began to pound, "He planned this whole thing out!"
"What are you talking about?" Sumeragi said, "I was just in Tieria's room, he's been asleep for the past two hours."
"WHAT!?" Hallelujah said, "HOW!?"
"Pre-recorded! Pre-recorded!" Haro chirped in its normal robotic voice.
Sumeragi laughed, "I hate to say this, but I think Tieria has you beat." She said.
"Just wait until I get my hands on him," Hallelujah said.
"I forbid you to touch him," Sumeragi said, "Should you disobey and I will let him take you off Kyrios."
"Goddammit!"
"Now," Sumeragi said as he looked around the room, "It doesn't look as if the damage is all that bad. I think it will be alright for you stay here."
"What the hell are you going to do about my goddamn hair?" Hallelujah asked.
Sumeragi looked at the empty canisters, "It's washable," She said, "However I think you've been worked up enough today so go back to bed and sleep. Tieria still has one more "phase" to complete."
"Fine," Hallelujah said.
"Wake up! Wake up…Wake up! Wake up!"
Tieria moaned. He was feeling much sicker than he had been and he kept his eyes closed.
"You okay? You okay?"
"Haro," Tieria muttered.
"Final phase! Final phase!"
"Alright," Tieria said as he linked with Veda. It was much easier than verbally giving the small robot instructions seeing that his head didn't seem to want to work very well or very fast for that matter. And of course, everything needed to be perfect.
"Directions received! Directions received!"
"Good luck Haro," Tieria said softly as he tried to fall back to sleep as the heat and pain steadily got worse.
For the fourth time Haro entered Allelujah's room. Tieria usually gave very precise instructions but this time around, his instructions lack the preciseness that they usually had. So Haro decided to matter into its own hands.
Hallelujah was rudely awoken again, but this time instead of loud popping noises or a strange smell it was a sharp pain in his arm. Then there was another to his leg and another to his other arm and one to his chest.
He opened his eyes and saw that his room was covered in purple blotches as was his bed and his clothing. He then hit the panic button and waited.
"Allelujah hit the panic button," Feldt said.
Sumeragi sighed, "I'm going to see what he wants," She said as she walked from the room.
When she got to Allelujah's room she was quiet amused to find it covered in purple paint, however she was not amused to find Hallelujah covered in purple paint as well and a trigger-happy Haro wielding two paintball guns shooting at anything and everything.
"Alright, this has gone far enough!" She said sternly, "Haro, give those to me then get your little buddies to help clean this mess! Hallelujah, let Allelujah take over again!"
"Roger, roger!"
"Fine," Hallelujah said as he withdrew.
"I'm sorry Allelujah," Sumeragi said, "I need to do something to keep Hallelujah from murdering Tieria . Will you be alright while I go give that boy a piece of my mind?"
"Yeah," Allelujah said as Sumeragi marched from the room.
/Eh I don't feel bad for the little bastrad for what he's about to get/ Hallelujah said.
"But he's really sick," Allelujah said.
/He seemed well enough to pull off what he did/ Hallelujah said, /So I don't feel bad./
"Tieria! Sumeragi called sternly as she entered Tieria's room, "Tieria wake up!"
Tieria shifted a bit but did not sit up or respond and immediately, Sumeragi knew something wasn't right. She walked over to the bed and found that Tieria was awake but she could tell that he was barely conscious. His face was extremely flushed and he was breathing heavily.
She placed her hand on Tieria's forehead and gasped, his skin was burning up. She reached for the thermometer and placed it in his mouth. When it beeped she removed it and bit her lip. /In just six hours his temperature spiked more than half a degree,/ She thought, /Dammit, so much for thinking that he was on the mend./
"Feldt," She called, "I need you to bring several ice packs to Tieria's room immediately!"
/Okay,/ Feldt responded, /What's wrong?/
"His fever just spiked," Sumeragi said, "It's probably breaking as well, but it's up to forty point three."
/I'll be right there,/ Feldt said.
Sumeragi sighed and bit her lip as she placed her hand on Tieria's forehead again, /It is not going to be a good night for him…I really hope that Lockon hasn't gotten sick yet…/
I would count that as a Tieria victory. It always pays to go last with something like this. But of course his victory is short lived with a forty point three degree fever (104.5 degrees Fahrenheit), hey at least it's breaking. But what's gonna happen if Lockon is sick? That only leaves Setsuna, how's that going to play out if Setsuna has to monitor an extremely sick Tieria all night? Well find out next time Minna-san!
