Chapter Three: Lunatics and Attacks!

Trash, no other word described them better than that. Non-humans were lower than then low amongst everything. In his opinion they all deserved to die, and those few left living would forever be HIS servants. Every time he found his mind wondering to this particular thought, his anger boiled and rushed under his skin to fester like an infected wound. Such hatred he held for the vile creatures they were, and what they hid from the rest of the world. He knew though, knew just what kind of killers they truly were and how they would take and take until the world fell into complete ruin and chaos covered the land as a whole. With the judgment of just about all humans heavily clouded by such thick, deceitful lies, it was up the Milliardo Peacecraft, also known as Zechs to annihilate them all.

Zechs was a very sophisticated looking man with long, silken white-blonde hair that flowed down freely to settle past his hips. He was a stern, serious looking man in his late twenties that stood proud and tall, showing off his wisdom and power to anyone within his presence. Upon his face he held a pair of cold, pale, cornflower blue eyes that seemed to always see everything that went on around him. He was usually seen wearing a pair of expensive slacks with a button down long-sleeved shirt of various pale, neutral colors and a long, pristine white, lab coat. Zechs was, in fact, a very smart man that had completed many years in several prestigious universities, learning all he could on the human body and all he could on science and knowledge. Some said that he carried a feel of utter darkness to him and always seemed to look down upon any who were not like him in his mannerism of thinking.

After graduating with his many degrees, he had gone into a good line of business as a scientist and held his lab right on the outskirts of the city, so that it would be secluded. To the outside world, he looked like a very hard-working man just trying to live his life and better life for all humanity, but no one knew what terrors really coiled and hissed within the dark hallways in that large building. It was protected as though holding some kind of nuclear weapon and with so much heavy protection, it clearly told everyone to stay out and far away if they did not belong. the building from the outside was large, and stood a proud two-stories. It was a cream-colored building and held large windows, many that were covered with bars. Around the facility stood a large, thick wall and at the top an electric, barbed wire ensured nothing was getting in...or perhaps they were keeping something from getting out. what the general public eye did not see however, was the lower two levels deep within the ground that held many chambers that resembled dungeons, maze-like hallways that passed many rooms, some that looked like torture chambers. The whole building could easily freak a normal person out if they were to know what twisted deeds took place deep within the thick, metal walls down below.

The building was one of Zechs' best achievements, since he had designed it and had it constructed, and therefore, took much pride in it. He currently sat in his office, eyes scanning over a file he held open on the large oak desk. With the file was a photo held on by a simple, paperclip. Blue eyes narrowed as his fingers reached out over to the picture and landed upon the picture with a resounding thud. He glared at the file with such hatred, even though an evil smirk was lighting up his features. He was unable to help the deep resounding chuckles that fell from his lips as his mind went back to how he had acquired this picture and it brought such joy to see his sister joining his side and seeing that all people that were not pure humans were garbage and mutant freaks needing to be put down like the rabid beasts they are.

~Zechs had been working on a project, writing his various notes on his tests he had begun to conduct in his facility on some trash he had cleaned up from the streets when his door practically fell from its hinges to allow his younger sister entrance. Relena Peacecraft, his younger sister that was nearing the ripened age of twenty. She had honey kissed, golden-brown hair that fell just below her breasts. She usually had part of it braided to wrap about to the back and secured with a clip, her bangs falling within her face and stopping above her smoldering blue eyes. Her eyes were a few shades darken than Zechs were. She was a petit girl and always wore the most expensive attire she could, even when flaunting herself over the boy she felt was meant to be her soul mate. She was not very large in the political field, but when she held an opinion she loudly spoke it and care not if anyone disagreed. It was her way or no one got anything at all and she would storm off with her tantrum of determination.

She had rushed in, angry tears filling her eyes as he slammed her hand fiercely upon the wooden desk, not caring how it stung the palm of her hand as she all but threw a picture at her older, much taller brother. She was so riled up, it was rather un-ladylike, but he highly doubted she cared as she began to speak in a rather high, irked voice.

"Brother I DEMAND that this boy be removed from the face of the planet! " she screeched out in pure furry.

Zechs was about to wave her away as being a silly child, but his caught upon the photograph that had skittered along his desk to lay before him. His eyes scanned over the long haired boy with a rather large smile. He was curious about this boy... the eyes showed thousands of years of age, even though the boy looked no older then twenty-one. With his curiosity being highly prodded, he found a brow raising towards his sister delicately as he folded his hands properly upon his desk and spoke, needing more information, after all he could not just pluck anyone off the street if they were normal.

"Relena, so why are you wanting this boy gone? What could he had possibly done to get your emotions all out of control like this? It is very unbecoming of a young lady you know" he lightly scolded.

"T...THAT SCUM IS BEWITCHING MY BELOVED HEERO!" To her that was all that would be needed, but once she started her dam had burst by this point. "He goes to college with me and let me tell you.. he has some kind of mind control over poor Heero! AND just wait until you hear this next part! It's completely discussing! Once he was sick and next thing I knew he turned into some furry creature in the cafeteria! It was just nasty what the vile little beast did...I want him gone... I know you are conducting your experiments towards your own goals to eliminate them all, and I think Duo Maxwell would be a perfect candidate. He's just a freak of a kid... talking about ghosts and sensing stuff and then Heero always there... this requires your expertise to rid that parasite from MY HEERO so that I can show him I am the one he really loves...please Brother."

Hearing that the boy indeed was a supernatural being greatly increased his interest as he listened to what his sister babbled about and put it into his own terms. So from what she was saying, he summed up that the boy had an animal form, yet someone held an affinity with Death... It made Zechs wonder as he tilted his head and stared at the picture. He doubted it could really be true... legends hardly were anymore, so he just summed up that this child would do better to test on since he would be more resilient. He hated to admit it but a few of his captives had already gone mad and died from the testing he was conducting, so it would be interesting to see what this boy's body did, plus... he would need to put him in his place and show him that he was there to worship and serve the human race.

"Alright Relena... I will get to work on it and begin making preparations, but it will still take me some time, so do refrain from throwing a bomb at him... I do think he will prove to be very special to my research... now my dear sister I must meet Treize for some business so I will have to talk with you later."

With that Zechs had gotten from his desk and left his office, the picture of Duo left behind as he made his way down many stairs and elevators until he reached the room where Treize was. Treize was a very tall man that held a very stoic face and a toned body. He had dark brown hair that was neat and slicked back with bright, vivid blue eyes and sharp almost Roman like facial features. He wore an officers outfit showing he was part of the military. He had been in a room and before them, huddled upon the floor was a small child of only ten years of age. She shivered from the cold air that struck her battered body bringing coughs to her lips. A foam like substance trickled slowly from the corner of her trembling lips as her messy, chopped silver hair gave her the appeal of an animal that was threatened.

Zechs just sneered at the child and watched in pure fascination as the body began to convulse and shake, more foam falling from her lips as he curled up tighter, tears falling her delicate cat-like eyes as she whimpered for her mother, her father, anyone to come and hold her. She did not last too much longer as her body soon slumped and went completely limp, blood pooling from her mouth as her eyes stared wide-opened at them with the plead for help forever frozen in them. Treize hid his discomfort at having to watch a child like this, but as long as Zechs was in charge, he had no say so when it came to this. Zechs though, was highly disappointed with the now lifeless girl. Such a waste she had been to even have been born. His serum must have been too much for her to handle and thusly had crushed her organs internally until her lungs filled with blood and she suffocated. The child's twin had died the same way, but Zechs had been more hopeful with how this one had lasted much longer.

"If you had been born a human you would be so worthless...Treize... go burn the body with the rest of the trash" Zechs said before storming from the room.~

Zechs had finally found a host for his serum that, so far was holding up. He just glared and figured the brats would be best suited for body manipulation instead of his various drugs he was creating and testing out. He had a point to prove after all, and to do so he had to make sure he had all facts he needed as well as plenty of results from tests. His eyes once more scanned to the file before him as he glanced over the contents...Duo Maxwell... He was going to be very tricky to capture, but he had other pressing matters to attend and when the right time came Duo would be his and he would have so much fun showing him who he belonged to and seeing his writher in pure pain from all the experiments he had planned. The thought alone brought such a bright, cheerful smirk upon him smooth face as he leaned back in his chair and allowed his eyes to slip closed.

~Dream~

Zechs had been playing within his room, Relena was asleep in her crib not too far away from him. It had started off as a nice day and the large house was alive with work, meetings, and everything else Zechs could not remember. There was no time for the children so they were restricted to the playroom for the day until someone came to bring them lunch, but lunch never came. The peace was interrupted by horrified screams filling the hallways. Zechs, being completely startled, stood up and moved, opening the door as he stepped out into the hallway and moved down the hallway and hid behind a pillar as a dark blue rushed by.

Zechs slapped a small hand over his mouth in pure horror as some large monster grabbed a hold of one of the cleaning maids who had been trying to flee for her life. The long, sharp claws ripped and pierced into the sensitive flesh and the woman screamed out in pure pain and terror. Blood dripped to the clean, marble floor right before the beast growl and chuckled darkly and removed the claws in a different manner which ripped the main in more than two pieces. The now dead, cruelly murdered maid lay in a cooling pool of her dark, crimson blood.

The monster was tall and stood well over seven feet tall with ten, crazed, glowing eyes that were a dark black. The skin was covered in a slimy, clean substance that oozed from the body. Long, two feet long claws glinted in the light on each hand as a long, snake-like tongue flicked out to lap at the blood upon the claws to clean them. Two coiled horns stood upon the head as she beast was covered in both scales and rotting bits of flesh. The stench alone could easily knock a person out if standing within the same perimeter of the foul monstrosity. A long, spiked tail swayed back and forth as the beast leaned over to rip a piece of flesh from the dead woman and delighted at the blood that flowed from its mouth that was filled with rather sharp, scary fangs.

The monster was not alone though, but four others, just like it were there as well ripping apart the staff and members there for the meeting. Once the one monster had left, Zechs turned and ran for his life in search of his parents. Upon finding his dad he found what had been left and could not help the scream that left his lips as tears streamed from his face. He had been unable to find his mother and remembering about his baby sister he turned and ran back to playroom and locked himself in. He turned and gasped as he came face to face with his badly injured mother. She had deep gashes everywhere upon her body and looked pale and weak and though she were a breath's sigh away from death.

She had wrapped her arms around him, causing his clothes to become drenched and soiled with her blood as she pulled him with her as she lifted her baby girl up and moved to the secrete door in the back of the room. She heard the claws raking against the door to get into the playroom and hurried to get them all inside and sealed it shut tight. The door was metals and would not budge. Using most of her strength, her body slide down the wall and coughed up a bit of blood before trying to smile weakly to her son. she wiped the tears from his eyes and kissed him tenderly.

"Milliardo..my precious son, you have to be strong, brave and take your sister down this tunnel. It will lead you to my sister's house. Once there tell her we are all gone...can you do that for your mother?"

All he could do was nod to his mother as she smiled and took her last breath, her hands sliding away from him as he took his baby sister into his arms and turned, silent tears falling from his, scared, terrified eyes. He walked, armed protective as he made his way down the darkened tunnel that seemed to take forever. He had reached his Aunt's house and explained what happened and she had taken them in and raised them.

~End Dream~

That day something snapped in Zechs, and even though he never could forget what had happened, he would never forgive. In his mind ALL non-humans were like that and deserved death. In his opinion he did not understand why they were let free to co-exist with humans, that were so defenseless. He had cursed them ever since that day and from that day forwards, he had begun to stud science and how things worked to achieve his revenge for his whole house, and parents being murdered by a group of cold blooded monsters. His mind always turned to dark, horrendous ways to eradicate them.. make them suffer as he has suffered over the years.

Meanwhile, across the city, Duo was getting off his job and heading on his way home. He cruised on his Porsche motorcycle that he had custom ordered. It was a sleek, bad machine and was solid black to blend in with the darkness that always lurked wherever he went. It took him hardly any time to get home as he weaved through the traffic, soon coming upon the parking garage. He parked and secured his bike before making his way to the door to head inside. He was stopped however by two men standing and blocking his way. His adrenaline suddenly rippled through him, putting him on edge as he prepared himself, his eyes seeming to change color and become more violet like.

The two men did not speak, they lunged for him, knives in hand to attack. Duo twisted his body, the knife cutting into his cheek as he hissed out, his foot catching once off guard and dropping him to the ground. His eyes gave off a rather eerie glow as he hunched low and lashed back at the other man who swung at him. Punches and kicks were exchanged until Duo was able to grab the head and snapped the neck easily, his eyes turning to the other man who saw this and called for backup. Duo was badly bruised and bleeding from several cuts did not stick around, his body sinking into the shadows as he rushed to the door and into his apartment complex. He cared not about the elevator as he ran, stumbling up the many flights of stairs until he got into the apartment and fell in coughing violently as he closed and locked the doors securely.

Duo felt dizzy and in his stupor he froze up, his body tensing as he felt very warm fingers gently brushing the bangs from his face. Heero. Heero had saw him come in and looked out the window at the large van that squealed away down the road. Heero was so mad it looked like flames were dancing along his flesh, but seeing that Duo was not getting up he had turned to worry over his braided baka. He crouched, lifting the other up as he moved him into his own bedroom and laid him down upon his bed before flicking on the light and inspecting the body. Just by look it pissed Heero off all over again as he swallowed, his teeth gritting as he moved and gently ran his fingers over the bruised and blood face of Duo. He worked on removing the ripped shirt and was appalled. Duo had several deep gashes in his flesh that were bleeding. Pushing himself from the bed, Heero silently moved off into his bathroom and brought back bandages and cleaning supplies. He moved, cleaning the wounds and paused as he leaned over and let his tongue slide along one of the cuts that swirled from Duo's ribs up to his collarbone. His tongue was hot like fire as he lapped the blood away slowly.

It took some time, but Duo would eventually be all patched up when he had been sliced opened. Heero sighed and gently ruffled the bangs of Duo who groaned gently and allowed his eyes to flicker open and look up to the other who slowly pulled his hand away. Duo blinked in pure confusion...HOW DID HE GET INTO HEERO'S ROOM? He looked around and slowly sat up with more than a few grimaces of pain. His eyes moved and paused as Heero caught his attention and held his gaze as though daring Duo to even try and get out of this bed. Duo actually did quite the opposite, he turned a bright red and bowed his head, holding back the urge to cry as it crashed on him that he had been attacked.

It pulled a shiver throughout Duo's body as he gasped as strong arms wrapped gently around him and pulled him against a very strong chest. Heero found his nose buried within Duo's hair, unable to help but sniffing lightly as he purred to Duo softly to try and help calm him down. Duo found the embrace to ease his anxiety and he nuzzled his face gently into Heero as he shivered, curling up tightly against Heero as though this were but a dream and he would wake in a dark cell somewhere. Heero gently pulled back and lifted Duo's face by his chin slowly as he looked into the face of the other very intently.

"Duo... it'll be okay... I'm here ." Heero spoke before leaning down to press his lips to the others.

Duo did not want to get carried away by the kiss, unsure how Heero really felt since Heero normally tormented him like this as a game he enjoyed playing, but lately the teasing had been different. It was not long before Heero became more demanding in the kiss and swept his tongue against Duo's lower lip to suck it within his mouth lightly to nibble upon the tender lip lightly. The action caused a soft moan to fall from Duo's now parted lips as he felt the blush rising upon his cheeks. Heero shifted them gently and used his presence to gently push the braided youth down fully upon the bed as he ravaged his mouth, his tongue seeking out every inch he could find as his left hand slowly caressed down Duo's body and along his chest to stop over where his heart was beating as though prepared to burst. Duo had trembled into the kiss, his hands gently holding onto Heero as he accepted the kiss and returned it fully, his body not seeming to feel the pain as he just enjoyed this moment with the man he had fallen in love with years ago.

The kiss though, ended as a soft knock sounded on the door and Heero reluctantly pulled back and left another, soft kiss to the tip of Duo's nose. Heero had left to go get the door and Duo was curious to just who it could be and low and behold Quatre came bursting into the room, tears falling down his face as he refrained from hugging Duo to death. He had felt what had happened and when Heero had called, the blond, frantic as a mother hen, yanked his lovers out of the house and into his car and somehow got them there in a car he had never driven before. Trowa and Wufei glanced in from the doorway as Heero came back in to resettle himself upon the bed to make sure Duo would be alright.

"Duo... I'm so glad you are alright! This is horrible.. what if they try again... this is getting out of control... on the news there has been a total of fifty non-humans to go missing... we need a plan... a.. strategy" Quatre spoke rather diplomatically.

"I have to agree with Quatre...If Duo had not of gotten away when he did, who knows what would of happened or where they would have hauled him off to." Wufei spoke, his voice soft, yet firm and sophisticated.

"I'm going to stay by his side from now on...I refuse to let some lunatics kidnap him because of their agenda...and maybe Duo should stay home for a bit.. unless he can go with all of us to be on the safe side." Heero muttered gruffly.

Quatre looked up to Heero silently and shuddered. He felt the heat radiating from the Japanese boy and he could tell that almost loosing Duo had him highly upset and pissed off to the point of wishing to rip the people who did it apart. It was discussed after that with Duo falling asleep in the middle leaning again Heero without knowing it. His body had been left drained and it showed, but the other four boys continued to talk and it was settled Duo needed to lay low and be with a few others at all times regardless if he was leaving the apartment and that was just how it was going to have to be after this surprise attack. After they had finished their meeting, Quatre left with Trowa and Wufei with promises to come over for the weekend and with that it had been left with just Heero and Duo. Heero soon locked up and patrolled the apartment before curling up protectively around Duo in hopes of preventing any harm befalling his slumbering angel.
