Chapter 4 Information is Key
Leilani looked at the cloak on the wall "2 am now is the time to move." thought Leilani as she opened the door into the pitch black living room. To any natural they could barely see the outlines of the darkened furniture but she almost read the title of magazines on the coffee table. She head out the door and quickly made her way down the evaluator to the bottom floor. Once outside she scanned the base across the road. There were a few guards with dogs walking the fence line but once inside there appeared to be nothing. To stop her until she reached the control room. "Here we go." Thought Leilani as she grabbed on to the fence and in less then 30 seconds she was over it. She ran across the darkened runway until she reached the control tower.
"Now for the hard part." thought Leilani as she pulled out her hand held computer and started hacking the key code for the door. The code fell to Leilani's hacking and soon she was walking down the darkened halls of the control tower. It took only a few minutes for her to find an empty computer room. She quickly turned the computer on and started the updating of the virus. At the same time she started to clear her image for the few cameras that might have seen her break in.
As she started to clean the memories of the cameras she spotted five machines under heavy guard on the screens. "What do we have here?" asked Leilani as she locked in the image of the mobile suits. "New gundams. I better find out about those suits and send their data back in my report."
The firewalls of the preventer mainframe wasn't able to stop the updated Angel system virus Leilani sat there watching as the data came up and what she saw made her heart stop. "Crap, they have images of the Plants, the moon bases and cities and even the Orb main land. They are planning an invasion. How many mobile suits?"
Leilani's eyes widened as she looked at the mobile suit number "2 and half million suits with more being built." Said Leilani to herself as her watched beeped. "I better send this to the probe along with my report so that the high command can decide what to do."
In another Universe Admiral Heero Yuy stood in Angel Squad command center waiting for the first report from his daughter to come in. "Sir the probe has returned." said an operator "Files are coming in."
"Put it on screen." Said Heero as his daughter's face appeared on the screen.
"Sir, when you get this I should be back at the apartment I now share with Marena Merquise daughter of Zechs." said Leilani "I have made friends with the five people chosen to be the pilots of their five new gundams. I have looked over the specs of the gundams they seam to be almost equal to ours however their common mobile suit is extremely weak. I am not sure why they would do that but it is the case."
"Do we have the data on the new gundams?" asked Heero
"Yes sir."
"The worst news comes in their number of their basic mobile suits." Said Leilani "It is more mobile suits then I ever thought a single nation would need. Sir this needs to be top concern they have so many suits they could over whelm our forces by numbers alone. I still have not located the file on where their jump drive is but once I find it I will destroy it. I will send another report in four days." With that the image was cut off.
"I want all the information copied and sent to the Plants and EA central command." Ordered Heero
"Yes, sir."
Leilani got back to her apartment before she was missed by anyone, the next day she was dressed and eating breakfast as Marena walked out. "Your up early." said Marena
"I always get up early." said Leilani "I slept in, normally on my five mile run with my friends by now."
"Let me guess you're worried about your first day of real training." said Marena
"How did you know." said Leilani
"I was so scared when I went through basic I felt like throwing up." said Marena with a smile "you skipped basic flight school because you're already a pilot but I am betting you never fired a gun before."
"I sleep with a gun under my pillow." "No I haven't." said Leilani "I've used drill guns but never a real gun."
"Don't worry my dad will give you some slack." said Marena before standing up "I better get ready."
An hour later Leilani sat with the rest of the class in a flight ready room. When Zechs walked in everyone snapped to attention. "All right today we are going to do a training session. So man your machines your training begins in ten minutes."
Quickly the pilots ran to get into their machines Leilani was surprise when they didn't get into flight suits. "I guess this is why Dad sometimes doesn't wear his suit while piloting Wing Angel…well until mom yells at him." thought Leilani as she strapped herself into her suit.
Suddenly Zech's face appeared on the screen. "Squad 1 will be Suits number 1 through 6 while Squad two will be suits 7-12. Squad one your up first." said Zechs as Leilani and the people she had meet earlier marched out and headed out to a large open field.
"Any idea who we are fighting?" asked Victor
"No idea." said Bernardo
"Guys keep an eye on Leilani she has never had been in a fight." said Marena
"Then she will die." said Dimitri
"Do you think that maybe team work is the point behind this and it isn't wise to leave a teammate to die?" asked Leilani
"True, but in the end war comes down to one on one fight." said Aeneas as suddenly an alarm went off on all the suits.
"What?" asked Victor
"It's above us." said Leilani as she jumped her suit back as small explosions hit around the six suits.
"KIA" blared across five of six suits all but Leilani was killed in the simulation.
"Damn it!" yelled Victor "What was that?"
His answer came a white mobile suit descended to the ground. "The Tallgeese?" asked Aeneas
"Dad?" asked Bernardo
"Yes and you all are dead." Said Zechs
"I think your forgetting about someone." said Leilani as she opened up on the Tallgeese with the Leo's gun. Zechs rolled out of the way.
"Well at least one of you survived past the first attack." said Zechs as he fired back as Leilani. Leilani moved out of the way firing at the ground kicking up a small cloud of dirt and dust.
"Using the terrain to your advantage very nice." Thought Zechs as he scanned waited for the dust to clear.
Suddenly Leilani appeared energy sword in hand. Zechs pulled his suit back pulling his sword as he did.
"Wow Leilani is great." Said Victor as Zechs sword came down.
"I have to throw this battle I already shown too much." Thought Leilani as she let go of the controls and let Zechs sword come up to her face.
"Very good Leilani Hawke but you still need to master the basics." said Zechs
"I know sir." said Leilani
"However you did far better then your teammates, you managed to use your environment around you to get the upper hand very resourceful you only need to brush up the fine points." Said Zechs
"Thank you sir." said Leilani
"Now report back to base." ordered Zechs as they started back toward the hangers. "There is something up with Leilani Hawke her style I've seen it before but where."
Meanwhile Heero walked into an underground hanger only to find Erika Simmons looking over a clip board.
"I heard you were looking for me Admiral." Said Erika
"Yes, I have data on the Preventer gundams and their mobile suits." said Heero as he handed the files over to Erika "I need you to confirm Angel's findings."
"Sure thing." said Erika as she took the files
"Also I need you to have this and the gundams finished within two weeks." said Heero
"Heero that is impossible." said Erika
"Erika their gundams are up and running and in two weeks their pilots will graduate from school." said Heero "Relena will not waste a moment if she has too. We need those gundams."
"Ok, I'll see what I can do."
"Oh what a day." said Marena as she sat down on the couch in her apartment "That training course was horrible."
"Ya, that was rough." said Leilani as she remembered the training course they had to run "If you thought that was bad you wouldn't last a single day with Angel squad, we do that as a warm up."
"Well you came in 5th and that is great." said Marena "I only came in 3rd after my brother and Victor."
"Believe me if I had done my best I would have been first." thought Leilani with a smile "Thanks."
"Think we have two more weeks like this and then we will graduate." said Marena as suddenly a knock came from the door. "Oh, crap I forgot its Tuesday."
"What happens on Tuesday?" asked Leilani as Marena stood up and walked to the door. She opened the door to their friends.
"Movie night." said Marena as she let her brother and their friends in.
"Movie night?" asked Leilani
"Do you need to clean your ears out?" asked Dimitri
"Shut up Dimitri." said Victor as he jumped the couch and sat down. "How is she supposed to know our tradition?"
"Victor is right Dimitri." said Aeneas "Besides she is a woman she can't help not knowing things."
That caused a death glare from both Leilani and Marena.
"You are spent way too much time with Commander Wufei." said Victor "And if you keep that up your likely to get your ass kicked by two pissed off woman."
"Maybe my words were out of line, not all woman are weak." said Aeneas "Considering our President is a women and she isn't weak."
"Lets just drop the subject and watch the movie." said Bernardo
"I agree." said Victor as everyone started to sit down. Soon only Leilani was without a seat.
"I was going to look over the files but if I don't do this I might lose my cover." thought Leilani as she looked for a seat.
"Here you go Lei." Said Victor as he moved over giving her some room but she was still very…very close to Victor. So close she was almost sitting on his lap.
"What are we watching?" asked Leilani
"Your see." said Marena as the movie started. Leilani's eyes widened as an image of Wing Angel and the Impulse appeared on the screen. She sat their watching as the movie was showing her parents and their friends as the bad guys out to kill everyone and Relena as the person trying to make peace.
"This movie is so false, how can they believe this?" thought Leilani as she noticed the smiles on her friends faces when the part came where her mom was shot down by Zechs or when ever their was an anti-coordinator line.
"See look at that, those dirty Coordinators can't stand up against us!" yelled Victor as the part when the Zaft and Orb forces began falling back around the Neo-Plants.
Then came the nuking of the Neo-Plants done by the coordinators after the colony had seen the error in their ways and tried to defect to the good side. The movie ended with Relena being rescued from the remains of Peace Million II and hope coming back to the world.
The whole movie made Leilani's skin craw and made her sick to the stomach "How in the world can people believe this?" Thought Leilani as he friends started talking about their favorite parts of the movie.
"So what did you like about the movie Lei?" asked Victor
"That we killed so many coordinators." said Leilani as she felt ready to throw up.
"True and think soon we will get revenge against those coordinators." Said Dimitri
"We need to get some sleep first." Said Leilani as she stood up and headed to her room. Thanking God that she got away from that.
"I wonder why they don't know the truth, Zechs Noin, Wufei and Duo where there their kids should know the real story behind that battle." Thought Leilani as she ran her fingers though her hair.
I know nothing really happened in this chapter I am only showing how much the Wing universe has built up their mobile suit numbers. Well I hope you like it any way and I ask that you keep on reading and reviewing. Thanks Wilkins75.
