Wufei: Hey, didn't you already write a chapter 12?
ZT: Yeah.
Wufei: Then why are you writing another one?
ZT: Well, I was taking a look through the story and noticed that the last time you guys had any confrontations between the "Black Knight" was back when he blew up the apartment.
Wufei: So we're going to face him in this chapter?
ZT: Eh, not exactly…
Wufei: But he is going to make an appearance…
ZT: Maybe…
Wufei: …..You have no idea what to write about, do you.
ZT: Eh heh…well
Wufei: Tsuki!
ZT: (Quickly) I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!
Fate Sucks II: Clash of the Moon and Star
Chapter 12
It was late; no wonder it was so dark in there. It took exceptional care not to trip over something in the dark abyss which he was currently venturing through. Relying on all senses other than sight, he tried to make sense of where he was and find his way to his destination. He dared not turn on a light; that would have been suicide. For no one knew he was here, and if anyone found out, he would be dead before he could blink…
Finally getting his bearings, the figure made his way over to the object he was searching for. Glancing around and listening intently to make sure no one was coming, he opened it up and glanced at the contents glowing back at him. 'So this is why you've been so quiet lately…'
The faint sound of a door opening caught his attention and he quickly shut what he was looking at and backed into a corner which he had learned earlier can keep someone concealed in shadows even if the light is on. He watched as the door to the area he was in opened. The light behind the person gave him the view of a feminine silhouette. He smirked; even before she walked in and turned into a person in dim light rather than a shadow against the light, he knew who it was. 'You're not the only one who researches your enemies, my dear…' he thought, watching as the woman put away a tool away in a random drawer. Obviously she was working on something inside her room, one of the few places he had yet to break into. One thing he had to respect about her was her knack for keeping secret things secret, hence the reason why he loved to copy her style so much…
As she turned to go back out, he glanced at her profile; she, like the others she worked with, seemed to have a flawless figure. He smirked. To everyone she knew, it had been a shock when she decided to make a comeback. After all, she had been retired since the Eve Wars. But not to him, no he knew she would come back someday. And he had no doubt she knew it too. That's the reason why she kept so fit. He reclined against the wall behind him as he watched her leave, the device in his back pocket softly tapping the wall once as he did.
It was enough to get her attention. In less than a second, she had turned in his general direction, a gun pulled from who knows where. He raised an eyebrow, impressed. She finally realized the importance of having a gun…A smirk graced his lips; there used to be a time when she would only use her gadgets and her sword. Keeping an eye on the gun, he made sure not to move, not to blink, not to even breathe. He watched as she started to take a step towards where he was hidden, gun still trained in his direction. 'Guess I get to test this out now…ever so carefully, he moved his hand towards his back pocket and pulled out the object which had given him away. He pushed a button on it and set it on a desk next to him before slipping through the shadows to out of the range of the gun yet still well hidden.
Obviously it was a smart move because he hadn't realized there was a lamp in the area he was at, which just illuminated his previous hiding spot. He watched from his new hiding spot as she scanned the area before noticing the object he left on the desk which obviously wasn't hers. He saw her scan the area once more before picking up the object to inspect it. Less than a few seconds later, the object fell out of her hand and he saw her stagger. He swiftly moved out of his hiding spot and caught the blond as she collapsed. Obviously his clear, scentless, sightless knockout gas worked like a charm.
He looked down at the woman in his arms; it would be so easy just to kill her now, but that would be no fun…after all, she had just got her pieces together, why put her in checkmate so quickly? He picked her up and boldly walked into her living quarters, setting her down on a couch before leaving. It was a good night for him: he got to test out one of his gadgets, he snuck into his enemies' lair, he attacked his biggest advesary and found out what she knew, and no one even knew it happened. Yes, it was safe to say it was a good night for him indeed.
