Accepting it.
Hello everyone before we begin I know the characters may seem different that's cause despite being turned back into teenagers they are still adults mentaly and have matured adnd or grown a bit over the years as I felt would not make sense for adults to act like kids. Granted the de-aged back to kids but still mentally grown ups. Also still open to ideas for who to ship Trowa with tho I have a idea but open to on with the story. Any way let us now get on with the story now.
The Gundam had finally returned to Arzenal they turned in data they had on the dragons they fought and got a massive amount of money each, each got a bit over a million. Tho Dead got far more.
"Where you think the others at?" Asked Duo.
"Yeah it's real quiet.'' Said Wufei.
"They are in the infirmary.'' Said Dead who sensed them.
They went in and found everyone standing around Ange who was strapped to a bed.
"Do we even want to know what is going on here?" Asked Heero getting the others attention.
"Quatre." Said Salia as she ran o him and hugged him.
"Wufei your safe." Said Ersha as she held him.
"Yay you guys are back." Said Vivian,
"What happened?" Asked Trowa who saw Some of the squad was missing, a certain blond in particular.
"Zola, Coco and Miranda, they, they were killled." Said Rosalie.
"And it's her fault." Said Chris pointing to Ange.
A number of the gundams were surprised o hear, tho Dead simply did not care, and Heero felt a similar way.
"Coco and Miranda are gone?'' Asked Duo who had just gotten to know them, and had grown attached to them and they attached to him.
"Where the hell were you?" Snapped Hilda. "Why wern't you there helping us.''
"Hilda that's not fair.'' Said Ersha. "This is not their fault.
"Do not blame us for your own faults and weakness.'' Said Dead in his icy tone.
"What did you say you filthy man?" Yelled Hilda.
"You always act like you don't need us, and act like you are better. And now you blame us cause your nott as great as you thought." Said Dead. "If you were half s good as you like to act then you should not have needed us. It is not our fault your to weak to help save anyone.''
"Bastard.'' Yeled Hilda as she threw a punch that Dead caught and then broke Hilda's hand.
"AAaaauuuggghhh my hand.'' Screamed Hilda as Dead then punched her in the face knocking her down and out.
"It was not my fault.'' Said Angew who was in denile.
"Not your fault you got those killed.'' Yelled Duo. "they were innocent people.''
"Norma are not people, they are norma.'' Said Ange.
The Gundam pilots were sick of hearing her talk like that even Heero and Dead, who had been on the receiving end of similar things due to being a newtype.
"Murderer, murderer, murderer.' Yelled Chris.
"I didn't do anything wrong, it was not my fault.'' Said Ange refusing to admit it was her fault." As she spoke to everyone surprise Quatre walked up to her and slapped her.
"You make sick." Said Quatre. "You call Norma monsters, but what about you and those so called humans? What dose that make you? Way I see you and them are the real and true monsters.'' "Human or not they were living beings.''
"That's enough.'' Said Wufei. "Control yourself.''
"Yeah she is not worth it.'' Said Duo.
Everyone was surprised to hear him talk like taht even his teammates, Quatre was always a kind gentle soft spoken type. The girls were touched that he stood up for them like tha.
"I did nothing wrong. Let me go I am princess of.''' Before Ange could finish Dead grabbed her by the neck and choked her a bit to shut her up.
"Thought for sure you were gonna kill her.'' Said Trowa.
"I was tempted." Said Dead as he took out a revolver and took out all but one bullet.
"What are you going o do to me?" Asked Ange who at this point just wished she could die.
"I want to play a game.'' Said Dead."A game that will ultimately decided your fate. If you should die here like the pathetic whore you are, or live to see another day and finally wake up and face reality.'' With that he put the single bullet in and spun the barrel.
"What are you doing?" asked Salia.
Dead said nothing just pointed the gun at Ange face.
"Dead what are you doing?" Asked Ersha as she tried to do something only for Wufei to stop her.
"Do it, kill her.'' Said Chris.
"Make her pay.'' Said Rosalie.
"You cant.'' Said Vivian as Duo stopped her from saying more.
"Enough.'' Said Dead. "This is called Russian roulette.'' Said Dead. " i have taken out all but one of the bullets. Now you have a one in six chance getting shot. You get 3 chances where I spin the barrel and pull the trigger, if you should survive all 3 you will live and work to atone for this. If you are not fortunate enough to make it to three you will die.'' He then looked at Rosalie and Chris. "Dose that work for the 2 of you?" He asked as they nodded. And with that Dead pulled the trigger and nothing.
"that's one.'' Said Dead as he spun the barrel and aimed again.
"Dead that is enough.'' Said Salia as Heero made her stay back. "Stay out of this.'' Said Heero as Dead puled the trigger again and nothing. Ange was now sweating and breathing like crazy. Afraid she was going to die like a norma.
"Last one.'' Said Dead as he aimed the gun the room was silent as Dead pulled the trigger and nothing. "You live.'' Said Dead as he revealed that the bulled that was left was real as he shot one of the straps off Ange. "But if you do this again, get anyone else killed mainly those on my team I will put you down like a rabid dog.'' With that he left as the other Gundam pilots fallowed.
Later the Gundam pilots were sitting by themselves.
"Can't believe Coco and Miranda are gone.'' Said Duo.
"And Captain Zola.'' Said Quatre who despite all the times she trie to rape them. She was a good caprtan who cared for her comrades.
"I will not miss the attempted rape tho.'' Said Wufei.
"Not important.'' Said Heero as they looked at him. "We have our own problems, Noin has reported that the ship is almost ready.''
''Meaning we are finally gonna be out of here.'' Said Duo happy at the thought of seeing Hilde again.
''But what about everyone here?'' Asked Quatre.
''What about them?'' Asked Wufei.
''We can't just leave them here.'' Said Quatre. ''I mean many of them are actually nice good people.''
''Sept for that Hilda bitch.'' Said Duo.
''If they want to come they can come.'' Said Dead. ''We can ask them if they want to. If they choose no then we leave without them.''
''We have our own problems as well back home.'' Said Trowa. ''Once more Kortax could attack at any moment. And if he dose before the others arrive we will be finished.''
"So what? We can take em.'' Said Wufei.
"Not if he sends all his forces after us.'' Said Dead.''Without the Vindication to back us up we would be overwhelmed both by his mobile dolls and those dragons of his.''
"So we wait still Huh?" Asked Duo as the others nodded.
The next few days were a handful, mainly due to Ange. Tho she did accept she was a norma and started adjusting to life, Rosalie and Chris kept causing her trouble like spiking her water, tearing up her uniform, anything to mess with her. Also the machine she was given called Villkiss which belonged to a girl called Naomi who died sometime before they arrived. Was a machine Salia wanted and was not happy that Ange got it.
Most of the Gundams ignored it, tho Quatre and Duo did try to stop some of it. Trowa also helped a little. Dead, Heero and Wufei stayed out of it, seeing it as not their business.
Dead was sitting in the mess hall alone eating, when to everyone's surprise Ange sat at the same table as him.
Dead looked at her with a raised eyebrow before going back to eating, Ange also ate her own food. "So not gonna say anything?" Asked Ange as Dead just kept eating. "Most guys would be happy when a girl sits with them.'' Said Ange.
"What do you want?" Asked Dead who knew Ange was there for a reason.
"Saw through me did you?" Asked Ange as Dead nodded his head. "OK I want to join your group.'' Dead stopped eating as he looked at Ange with another raised eye brow. The girls in the room where all speechless.
"May I ask why?'' Asked Dead.
"I have my reasons, one being I feel your group might be the only ones I could trust.'' Said Ange. "Also I am grateful to you for how you opened up my eyes."
Dead was still not sure if he could trust Ange. Dead had used his powers and the whole relationship he had with Maggie to learn a few things about Villkiss and how Ange was the only one who could handle it due to the ring her mom gave her and her bloodline. Jill refused to say anything despite their agreement. He also sensed Ange had other reasons.
"And let me guess? You think if you were with us the hazing might stop?" Asked Dead as Ange was surprised he figured her out like that.
"OK yeah that's one reason." Said Ange as she played with her hair a bit while blushing a little. "also this might sound strange but i do find you attractive.'' Said Ange with a blush.'' Ange could not explain it but something about Dead drew her to him, did not feel like love more like a pull of some kind. She thought the others were attractive to but Dead was different.
"Everyone fights in my group, all pull their weight, and watch each others backs and no funny stuff. Also if I give a order you fallow it.'' Said Dead as he stood up to leave. "Do that and you can be in it. But cause any trouble or don't fallow orders I can't say I wont put a bullet in you.'' With that Dead left and Ange sighed a sigh of relief that he accepted her. But as that happened all the girls were mad. Ange was going to be in a group with boys.
"NO fair."
"That slut."
"That's all it took to join them?''
''She's gonna hog them all.''
Ange just ignored them all.
With Dead.
He walked by then noticed Heero.
"May I ask what that was about?" Asked Heero who could not understand why did that.
"A little payback at Jill for trying to go back on her word." Said Dead. "Plus I think Ange and her machine could be useful.''
"I can see how." Said Heero. "That machine of her's could be useful."
"And for now est let the others know.'' Said Dead as they left.
"Also we need to keep a watch on that red head and her friends." Said Dead.
"Yes while Chris and Rosalie are not much of a threat, Hildegard is another story." Said Dead. "Where are the others?"
"Quatre and Duo along with Trowa are trying to find new weapons to buy. Wufei went off somewhere to train."
With Wufei.
He was alone on the beach practicing his swordsmanship. As he did he felt a presence behind him and turned to face them with his sword, only to stop when he saw it was Ersha.
"Ersha, what did I say about sneaking up on me?" Said Wufei.
"Sorry I just wanted to know what you were doing.'' Said Ersha with a blush.
"Practicing, need to keep my skills up.'' Said Wufei as he sheaved his sword and Ersha saw the blisters and everything on his hand.
"You shouldn't push yourself to hard.'' Said Ersha as she took his hand and treated and wrapped it.
"Thank you, you did not have to do this, but I am grateful.'' Said Wufei who felt unknown feelings he had not felt in a long time.
"Its OK I am used to helping others like this.'' Said Ersha as she was a mother figure to all, or at least tried to be.
"Yes I can see, you would make a good mother and wife one day.'' Said Wufei as Ersha blushed a little. "Why the hell did I say that?" Thought Wufei.
Ersha just blushed. In truth being a mother was her greatest wish, she loved children and would jump at the chance to have a child that was hers. But until Wufei and the others arrived, Ersha felt it was a pipe dream. When they did arive, real males she had hoped one of them might want to have children.
"I would not mind having children, tho I would need a man for that to you know." Said Ersha who knew she would need to have sex with a male to get pregnant.
"you think any of your friends would want to be parents?" Ersha asked twiddling her fingers.
"Duo and Heero each have a girl back home who they love and wil not leave for anyone.'' Said Wufei. "Quatre I feel would most likely want to be a father one day if he met the right women, Trowa hard to tell I don't think he would have a problem with it.''
"What of Dead?" Asked Ersha as Wufei sighed. "Dead is a warrior in the truest sense of the word, to him sex is just something to relieve stress and something when he is bored. He loves to fight and kill and see's it as his purpose and if fighting were to stop and no more battles he would leave and try to find battles else where. Going from one fight to the next. I am afraid it would take a women beyond amazing to pull him out of that life.''
Ersha was silent, she felt sorry for Dead after that. The way Wufei described him like he was a child who had lost their way and searched out fill a endless void with battles while searching and hoping for someone or something to show him another way. At the same time it seemed like Wufei admired that about and and envied it.
"What about you?" Asked Ersha as Wufei looked at her. "What kind of life do you want?"
"To be honest I'm torn." Said Wufei as Ersha tilted her head a bit.
"There was a time where I craved the life Dead has." Said Wufei as Ersha's eyes widened. "A warrior of amazing strength and power and skill who's only home was on the battlefield and who sought out battle after battle fighting till they died.''
"You really sound like you admire him.'' Said Ersha who could see the admiration in his eyes.
"In a way I do, he stands at the top of us all in skill and power." Said Wufei as he sighed sadly. "There is only room for one at the top of the mountain and he stands there strong and proud."
Ersha just looked at himamazed she did not think he was the type to admit to having someone better then him.
But while part of me wanted his life. I realized that if I did I would never be able to realize my dream.''
"Your dream? What is it?" Asked Ersha.
"To restore my clan.'' Said Wufei.
"Restore your Clan?" Asked Ersha.
"Yes.'' Said Wufei as he started to explain. "My clan was banished from our home because our government feared our strength, but even then we were not safe.'' Said Wufei as he got a bit angry, Ersha saw his fists clench. "They hunted us and soon wiped out my clan save for me.''
Ersha was left speechless, she could not believe such a thing could happen to anyone for such a silly reason. She also felt sorry for Wufei as she could tell he was saying hewas the last of his clan, she could also imagine what that must feel like being the last of your family ad knowing it could end with you.
"If I could I would gladly start a family if I could find a women who would have me.'' Said Wufei as he looked out at the see watching the sun set.
"If you did take a wife what would you do then?" asked Ersha.
"I would protect her and any children we had to the death and kill anyone who lay some much as a finger on either of them or harmed so much as a single hair on either of their heads.''
"Wufei.'' Said Ersha as she took hold of his right hand with both of hers as he turned to face her he found her press her lips to his in a kiss. Wufei was shocked he had never had this happen before. He instinctively kissed back before they parted for air.
''I'm sorry "'m sorry.'' Said Ersha as she stepped back a bit blushing like crazy. "I just got carried away, not that it wasn't nice it was I just."
Wufei just smiled and walked up to her and pulled her close. Ersha stopped talking as he did.
"You women talk to much." Said Wufei as he pulled Ersha in for another kiss. Ersha was surpized but soon gave in and kissed back as she undid her top as both of them fell on the beach sand as Wufei dropped his pants.
Meanwhile Salia was reading in the Mess hall by herself. She was so fixed on it she did not see Quatre walk in.
"Miss Salia.'' Said Quatre getting Salia's attention as she freaked out and dropped her book.
"Sorry did not mean to scare you." Said Quatre.
"No it's OK Quatre, I was just researching.'' Said Salia as Quatre saw a few more books like what Salia had in a pile.
"What are you reading?" Asked Quatre.
"Just some things to prepare." Said Salia.
"For what?" Asked Quatre.
"to pilot Villkiss.'' Salia said by accident.
"But isn't that Ange's machine?" Asked Quatre wondering why Salia would be interested in it.
"It should be mine." Snapped Salia who saw the slightly hurt look on Quatre's face. "Oh Quatre i'm sorry.''
"It's OK I get it new responsibilities." Said Quatre as he sat net to Salia who blushed a bit. "So close." Thought Salia.
"But can I ask why this fixation with Villkiss?" Asked Quatre.
Salia was not sure if she should say but, she felt she could trust Quatre.
"Is there somewhere private we can talk?" asked Salia as they went to Quatre's room.
"I'm in a boys room, I'm in a boys room, I'm in a boys room.'' Thought Salia over and over as she and Quatre sat on his bed. Took a while for her to calm down before she was able to tell Quatre why she was so fixed on Villkiss.
"I see.'' Said Quatre who got much of what Salia was saying.
"I don't get why Jill gave Ange Villkiss." Said Salia. "I have been here longer I thought she trusted me.''
"I think its more then that.'' Said Quatre as Salia looked at him. Quatre then told Salia about Ange's ring and what they learned.
"So if I get her ring I can pilot Villkiss. Thats it.'' Said Salia.
"Salia no you can't take Ange's ring it wont work, you need to be a member of a royal blood line.' Said Qautre."Then what else am I to do huh? Just wait to be thrown aside completely.'' Said Salia as she started to shed tears.
Am I just a joke? A nothing dose no one need or want me?" She stated as she started to break down and start crying. "Dose no one care about me?"
"I care.'' Said Quatre as Salia looked at him as he smiled at her.'' You do?" Asked salia as Quatre nodded. "Don't hold all the answers but I know I will be here for you.''
Salia did not know what else to say her body just acted on instint as she pounced on Quatre oinning him to the bed pressing her lips to his. "Make me feel better." Said Salia as she broke the kiss and removed her top. "Make me feel better.'' Said Salia as she pressed her lips to Quatre's again.
""

Later a night.
Hilda was in the hanger and soon came to what she was after Villkiss.
"This will teach that bitch a lesson." Said Hilda as she walked up to Villkiss with one of her bras.
Hilda did not notice a figure in the shadows.
"Care to explain yourself?" Came a voice as Hilda tuned to see Dead.
"It's none of your business." Said Hilda in a huff.
"Considering Ange is now technically part of my group I'd say it is.'' Said Dead.
"So which of you did she have to sleep with to get that?'' Asked Hilda oping to get a rise out of him.
"Unlike you she is not that pathetic and weak.'' Said Dead.
"What did you say?" Yelled Hilda not liking what he said.
"I know you only clung to Zola to keep yourself alive like a scared weak child.'' Said Dead which left Hilda shocked. "How dose he know?" Thought Hilda.
"You try to act tough and better then others, but in truth your more pathetic and weak then any other. Letting Zola treat you like a object just to stay alive, tho I can understand the whole survival thing and can't blame you for all of it, but some parts I can.'' Dead continued as Hilda felt her anger rise. "You try to act like others are the problem but lets face it we both know the real issue here.'' Said Dead as Hilda tried to attack him with a punch only for him to vanish.
"Where did he go?" asked Hilda as she felt a fist in the back of her head knocking her down. Then felt someone grab her by her left leg and throw her across the room into a wall.
"The real issue is you.'' Said Dead as Hilda looked up to see him looking down at her with discussed. ''Trying to act all high and mighty to hide your own insecurities.''
"Who are you? How do you know all this?" Asked Hilda scared at how Dead knew so much.
"Minds are like books if you know how to read them.'' Said Dead as he placed a hand on Hilda's Head as she got afraid of what was coming. "Be still.'' Said Dead as Hilda found herself unable to move feeling like she was in a trance. "Now get up and return to your room and forget all of this.'' Said Dead as Hilda did just that.
Later Dead was heading back to his room He saw Ange.
"May I ask what brings you here?" Asked Dead.
"Sorry I just need someone to talk to.'' Said Ange.
"About What?" Asked Dead.
"I know what you said before but I still don't know what to do." Said Ange.
"That is up to you I am afraid.''' Said Dead. "The only Advice I can give is advice one of the pilos who trained me gave..'' Said Dead as Ange looked at him. The only way to live a good life is to act on your emotions.'' Said Dead.
"But how? Asked Ange.
"Good question. I still don't know myself. My emotions are more or less long gone." Said Dead. As he opened the door to his room. "If you want to stay the night you can, don't worry I will not try anything." Said Dead as he entered his room fallowed by Ange.
OK that is it for now. Also yes Wufei and Ersha did do it or are doing it. Same with Quatre and Salia. I promise to try and make them longer. please review and until next time this is Myzor king of war signing out.
