"What
the HELL was that??!!"
Heero
looked back at Duo, who looked rather disturbed and shaken. He too was quite
shocked, but he maintained his coolness as he was completely determined to
uncover the nature of their enemy. In all his years of training and in the
battles against OZ and their troops, he had NEVER before seen this sort of...
contender. It was, literally, out of this world.
"Probably
Oz's newest weapon. I don't know, but I will contact Doctor J and find
out," he replied somberly, as he walked out of the hangar and made his way
into Quatre's mansion.
He
logged in and waited for a few seconds. His Prussian blue eyes shimmered in the
cold, halogen light of the computer screen. If anyone had taken the minutes to
stare into them, they would had seen profound confusion and maybe...fear? That
last mission...their encounter with that..thing...something deep inside him
churned. Something about this was terribly wrong, it wasn't the feeling of an
upcoming enemy or more battles...it was as if a hollow despair could be
breathed and stinted the air. Heero suddenly shook as he saw Dr. J's log in.
Seconds later, a file was sent to him, slowly downloaded. Heero clicked on it
to reveal their next mission... and his eyes were filled with an
uncharacteristic terror as the information revealed itself to him.
"It
was made of light???" Quatre's head cocked in confusion.
"I
don't know, man, it was weird!! It was as if it was shining...no it was more as
if the thing was made of light or something like that. And it was HUGE! Way
bigger than a mobile suit! It was freaky!!" Duo sputtered out, eyes
widened as he tried to sip on some tea.
Trowa
folded his arms across the kitchen table, glancing over in his usual cold stare,
but visibly thoughtful. Wufei, on the other hand, was fuming and pounding his
fist on the hard surface.
"Dammit
Maxwell!! Stop making up stupid stories and tell us what really happened! Why
did you retreat, right in the face of Oz's troops? Everything was going just
fine! And don't give me more of your U.F.O bullshit because I'm not buying
it!"
"Hey!
If we hadn't left, there wouldn't had been ANYTHING left of us OR OZ! That
thing was there and it was shooting at us! I don't know what the hell it was
but it did a hell of a lot of damage to Zech's men. So much for that army
anymore."
"Did
you not attack it?" Trowa's even tone soothed out momentarily the tension
in the room.
"Yeah
of course, but our weapons didn't hurt it at all. It had some sort of shield
around it or something. Wing's Buster Rifle and my
Scythe
didn't even get close to it!"
Quatre
looked at Duo with concern. Sure, he could be a clown and make stupid pranks,
but the look in his eyes told him that the Deathscythe pilot was really telling
the truth and was obviously struggling trying to explain something he could
barely understand himself.
"So
where is this thing...what are we going to do about it?" he asked him,
just as he was asking himself.
Duo
stared at his cup in silence for a minute. He finally looked up and addressed
the three completely confused Gundam pilots. " We don't know its location,
it seems it has temporarily disappeared from radar, but it is definitely sure
that it will reappear. In only we knew where it could be goi..."
"Tokyo.
Tokyo, Japan."
The
four heads turned simultaneously to face the scowling Heero Yuy.
"...Is
that where its heading?" Quatre ventured to ask, noting his companions'
silence.
"The
'object' seems to be directing its course towards Japan, specifically Tokyo. I
received data from Dr.J and our orders are to intercept it there."
"But
Heero!" Duo slammed his teacup on the table, spilling its contents
partially; "you saw how that thing was completely oblivious to our
attacks! Just how in he world are we going to destroy it?!"
"The
necessary weapons for its destruction are located in the place we will be
arriving at in Tokyo. We will be assisted there. We are to leave for our
location tomorrow at 0600 hours." Heero eyed his companions, and could
feel the tension in the room building. A question was being left unanswered.
Wufei,
frustrated and upset, finally popped it.
"What
the hell are we fighting against, Yuy?"
Silence
"We
are fighting an Angel."

continued)...
