I do not own Gundam Wing.
To Live
Part 1
Relena woke up with the sun shining through her window. The brightness filled her room with life. She could see the clouds slowly moving through the sky. She smiled knowing that she was a successful woman in the world. Yet, sadly she had no one to share it with. But it didn’t matter. She knew that one day her man of her dreams, most likely Heero, would soon come and declare his love for her. Yes, someday, but she wasn’t idealistic. She knew that day wouldn’t come yet it was her own personal dream.
As soon as she was finish dressing up she walked out of her room and headed towards her personal office downstairs of her mansion. Just as she entered her room she spotted Heero Yuy standing by the window silently awaiting her. He was after all her bodyguard, he was always there, although it seemed too much.
"Morning Heero." She said.
"Hn"
She sat on her chair and looked over her schedule for the day. Interesting, she had a conference with the delegates of Colony L246. She had nearly forgotten about that. If she remembered correctly, Quatre R. Winner would surely be there as well.
"I have a meeting with Colony L246 delegates today at noon at the Conference Hall at Region 93030 on Earth. I must be leaving as soon as possible." She said but she felt that she was talking to herself instead of Heero.
"I have a meeting with the Preventers at 1pm at the Preventers’ Headquaters, but I can cancel." Heero responded.
"That won’t be necessary. Quatre is going to be at the meeting with me."
Heero turned around to finally face her and she felt as he was studying her. After what seem like a few minutes he answered.
"Very well. I’ll inform him as soon as possible."
And with that Heero left her office. She wondered many times why she loved him but she knew why. Those eyes of his had captured her heart.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Quatre was already leaving his mansion when he heard the phone ring behind him. HE ignored it and continued on his way until one of his servants called him.
"Master Quatre, Heereo Yuy is on the phone, he insisted that he must talk to you."
Quatre sighed and walked back to his mansion. He picked up the vid phone and readied himself for Heero’s coldness.
"Good to see you Heero. How are you?" Quatre politely asked.
"I won’t be able to guard Relena while she’s at the meeting, I need you to keep an eye on her."
Quatre almost laughed out loud. Here he was making some talk with Heero when he should have know better.
"Alright Heero. I’ll watch her."
"Hn"
And with that Heero disconnected the lines. So much for catching up.
----------------------------------------------------------
Relena arrived at the meeting with only a few seconds behind schedule but she made it. As she headed for her seat she noticed Quatre sitting in front of her. She smiled at him and he smiled back.
"I am so please that all of you very important individuals made it. I was beginning to worry that some of you might have not shown up but you are all here. I am so please." Said the man who had set up the meeting. He was the Representative of Colony L246.
Relena looked outside the window. She saw a jet fly by. She thought it was strange that a jet was flying so close by them.
"The reason I called you all here today is very interesting indeed. Let me show you." He said while suddenly taking out a gun and pointing it at the others sitting in the room.
"Just great." Relena whispered to herself.
------------------------------------------------------
Heero was walking upstairs to the meeting room where the other Preventers were to meet at. His head was facing forward as he walked but he took notice of everything around him. Everyone around him seemed to be disorganized for some unknown reason. The Preventers members walked around the whole place carrying loads of papers and Heero even caught a few running around screaming and yelling at each other. Something was happening.
Finally he made it up to the meeting room and there waiting for him was Lady Une, Noin, Zechs, Duo, Trowa, and Wufei. The only one missing was Quatre, but he was busy protecting Relena.
"Heero, we have a problem." Noin said.
Heero didn’t say anything but waited for someone to tell him what was going on.
"The Representative of Colony L246, Ronald Jills, has taken Relena, Quatre, and a few other politicians hostage." Lady Une said.
Heero turned around and began to leave.
"Heero, where are you going?" Duo asked while following Heero closely behind.
"To save Relena."
"You can’t." Trowa said from a corner of a room.
Heero turned to look at Trowa and glared at him.
"There’s a jet fighter close to their location, any sudden moves and they destroy the place." Zechs said.
"What do they want?" Heero said while giving Zechs a look of impatience.
"They haven’t said anything. They know we’re watching and waiting for their word, but they haven’t told us anything or their reasons for this situation." Lady Une responded from behind a table where she sat watching all of them chatting.
Two hours went by and still no word from the enemy came. Heero was beginning to wonder that he was wasting his time and soon decided to leave without anyone realizing it.
Suddenly he heard a beeping sound coming from the vidphone next to Lady Une. Lady Une picked it up and then turned it around so everyone could see what was happening.
A middle age man appeared dressed in a dark blue suit. He wore a red banner around his right arm and he held his face high.
"I am Ronald Jills and I am the Representative for Colony L246. My people and I have been through so much since the war and yet we continue to suffer even though there is talk of peace. We have suffered so much that it is time for a change. As the Representative of Colony L246, I was anointed the duty of declaring war with Earth and its other Colonies. As proof of this declaration, I will send the order to shoot missiles at the Conference Hall Building where some very important politicians, including Vice Foreign Minister, Relena Peacecraft, are being held. Now for the show." With that he disappeared and the jet fighter was shown flying around the building and then shooting two missiles.
Heero and the others could only watch with their mouths open as the missiles headed towards the building where Relena and Quatre were.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Quatre held Relena by her hand as they walked down the hall. The Representative, Ronald Jills, had left them and the other politicians alone 20 minutes ago and so they decided to escape.
Quatre felt like something was wrong at that they should get out of there fast. He had a bad feeling.
"Quatre, why do you think Jills left us suddenly?" Relena asked as she walked closely behind him.
"It does seem weird that he would suddenly leave and then put guards at the exits and not even good guards. I don’t know what to make out of it." Quatre answered.
As they continue walking down the hall, Quatre heard a familiar noise that made him stop.
"What’s wrong?" Relena asked.
Quatre turned around and made Relena stand behind. The noise was too familiar and it brought fear to his body. Something was going to happen, something real bad.
"Missiles." Quatre whispered softly.
"What?"
Quatre turned around and looked into Relena’s blue eyes. Quatre was scared and he could tell that she was too. She knew what it was too. That’s why she was looking at him like that.
"Run!" Quatre yelled.
Quatre found himself running right behind Relena and the noise got closer. Suddenly there was a loud noise behind them and they began to run faster. Then Quatre felt the heat pushing him up and throwing him down the hall. He heard Relena scream and he heard himself screaming as well. His eyes shut down and all he could hear was yelling and screaming. He felt the grounds beneath him give away and he felt himself falling. He was injured and he knew it was bad.
He found himself thinking of Relena. She had to be around, she was with him when the missiles hit. It was his job to protect her. He had to protect her. She was in danger. Heero would kill him if he didn’t. Where was she? Then he remembered he had his eyes close. And that was the last thing he remembered as he felt himself fall into unconsciousness.
