Better Ideas 11



Heero was up early. He started decoding the disk Zechs had sent him. Even with his skill it was difficult, obviously Zechs didn?t want anyone knowing what was on the disk except for Heero.
He rubbed his eyes from the strain of staring at the screen. He would leave the next day and him and his team were assembling all their equipment and packing it up today. The computer beeped and brought him from his thoughts. There were only two files on it, an image and a document. Heero opened the document first.

Yuy- Enclosed is the location of Epyon?s remaining parts. I thought they might be useful in repairing Zero. I didn?t want just anyone getting their hands on a near-complete and operational gundam. ?Zechs

Heero read the letter twice, not surprised by Zech?s generosity, but still intrigued as to how he still had it at all. He opened the image file to reveal a blueprint of the old mobile suit factory on the moon. A small red dot was the only marking, presumably to mark Epyon?s position. He closed it and ejected the disk, slipping it into his jacket pocket. ?I?ll get it after we return from this mission.?

Heero had to leave before Mariemeia had awoken. He left a small note explaining the situation to her.

The day was long and filled with manual labor as they moved food, tents, vehicles, and other supplies onto an old mobile suit carrier. He rarely had time to even think.

Mariemeia found the note Heero had left her on the nightstand and read it. It wasn?t uncommon for him to leave such notes; he did whenever he couldn?t tell her in person due to conflicting schedules. After dressing and eating a small breakfast, the auburn haired young woman left for morning class. The professor droned for what seemed like hours. Thoughts of Heero, and her mother as well as a few others drifted through her mind. Heero hadn?t said anything about her mother at work. ?Maybe she hadn?t said anything, or maybe she gave up and accepted the fact she loved Heero. Wow, hold on a second, where did that come from?? She back peddled in her mind over her previous thought. ?Love? I don?t love him. Do I?? She decided it was best to not think about and tried to pay attention to the professor.

Heero unlocked and opened his door at nearly one o?clock in the morning. They still weren?t finished loading up, but Une ordered them all home so hey could get some sleep before leaving for the mission the next day. A voice called out to him as he locked the dead bolt.
?Hey, what time is it?? Mariemeia sounded as if she had just woken up, which she probably had. She was lying on the couch with a blanket pulled over her legs.
?Ten after one.? He paused. ?I?m only here to pick up a few items, your mother ordered us home, but I still have things that need to be done before we leave.? Mariemeia looked disappointed but stood up and walked to him.
?Be careful, Heero.? She put her palm to his cheek. Heero didn?t respond other than looking at her. He moved away from her and retrieved a pre-packed duffle bag from the closet.
?I?ll be back in a couple of days.? He nodded and walked out the door.


Three of his teams were regular Preventor soldiers, the fourth was a group he himself had helped train. Several of the members of this team were men he had worked with during the original operation meteor, mostly associates of Howard and Doctor J.

Things had gone terribly wrong. Two of his four groups of men hadn?t checked in or done their jobs in the past three hours. The weather was slowing them down. They had to move in on foot through the jungle and with the heavy rain it made it nearly impossible to tell what was in front of you. Heero?s objective was reconnaissance. They needed to know how well they were stocked and financially backed. He?d heard gunshots just before his two groups became un-accounted for and he couldn?t respond in fear of revealing his position.
He came upon a small structure that appeared to be a bunker. Vines and small plants had nearly overrun it, but the hatch was surprisingly clear. Someone had been in and out of that door recently. He waited above the hatch and listened. Hours passed, more gunshots were heard, and another one of his teams stopped their periodic check-ins over the radio.
A twig snapped behind him, his head and eyes scanned the area behind him, as he did so the hatch burst open and several soldiers ran out and turned around to face him. He didn?t have the time to even raise the rifle in his hand before a pistol was pressing lightly against his temple. ?You should have just bombed us. Give me your radio.? Heero moved his hand to his radio, next to his pistol. ?Ah, slowly.? Heero pulled the radio and handed it to him. ?All three of your teams have been secured. It was easy considering they were working for us.? Heero didn?t make any response to the man. His voice had a gruff and heavy accent Heero couldn?t recognize.
One of the soldiers took his rifle and all of his weapons. Another one forced his hands behind him and put handcuffs on his wrists. A sharp pain formed at the back of his head.



To Be Continued?

It's so sad that the only name you see on here is mine when this is such a great story with such an interesting pairing...he's putting this up and ya'll should at least tell him he's doing a good job. It's the least that you could do.
