Death to all

[tornin1/2]

i guess its my turn to post straight after posting before he he.

The room echoed as the sound of a knock on the door resounded on the walls. 'Who is it?' Porthole asked, his voice bland.

'It's me Wufei.'

Porthole didn't say anything, so the man outside took it as acceptance and walked into the room.

'We want to speak to you in the office.'

'We as in?'

'You'll find out when we get there,' was Wufei's only reply as he walked out of the room, expecting Porthole to follow. He did.

*******************

On seeing the arrival of the two Quatre greeted them. 'Hi Wufei. Hello, Mr...'

Porthole who had been gazing around the office suddenly looked straight into Quatre's eyes, 'Just call me Porthole.' With that he looked away again.

'Um-I see. Well we were wondering if we could ask you a few questions about yourself, as we haven't had time for this with the movement of bases and the enemy attack.'

....silence....

Duo leaned towards Quatre and whispered, 'Let me handle this Quatro.'

Turning to Porthole, the slight interrogation began.

'So Porthole, do you have any parents?'

'No. They're dead.'

'Okay, do you remember anything about yourself, and could you tell us why you are called Porthole?'

'I grew up in the asylum. They beat and starved me because I was apparently different. They called me Porthole by the way i came to the asylum.'

'And why's that?' Trowa asked.

'A huge porthole appeared in the ceiling and i dropped out of it onto the floor.'

'Ooooo, tough start!' A voice from the door exclaimed.

Naora stood by the door, slowly combing her thick, black hair and looking at Porthole in a strange way. 'Oh! sorry! Am i interupting something here?'

'It's okay Naora.' Wufei told her.

'Father told me to tell you that he's had slight problems in getting here, but doesn't think its that serious. Apparently, he sighted some enemy mobile dolls about 4000km away from here heading North-East. That must mean that we're safe, because they were heading in the opposite direction.'

'Thankyou Naora.'

Taking that to be a dismissal Naora made her way to the door. On reaching it she suddenly turned around and said. 'C-ya Porthole.'

*********************

Outside, she leaned against the closed door, and thought disgustedly to herself, //Why did i just do that?//

Was that good people, i just thought it would be a good way of getting them to know Porthole and his abilities more and add something more to this fic.

[color=#]The drama! I can't believe the drama!

LAST DAY OF CLASSES!!![/color]

[Kira Anvari Maxwell]

" Reku give me your watch, yours too Maeko." Duo said suddenly remebering something important.

They both slide off their watches.

" Maxwell is there a point to this?" Wufei asked still thinking about the Mobile dolls.

" Yeah , the cockpit recorders, you know the cameras in the gundam heads." He connects them both the Gallian's laptop.

" You know you should ask if you can use it." Gallian said.

" It's important, can I use it." Duo asked not caring whether he got an answer or not. " Alright there it is, This is before Maeko's gundam got pushed out of the way and there's the blast that hit the Nightstalker and sent it to the ground, and right after, he hit the floor the mobile suits disappear and Porthole's gundam flickers a bit."

" I didn't see a blast" Gallian said a little confused.

" Were you paying attention, Reku what kind of guns are those?"

" Um, modified Pulse Rifles, only if you've been trained to see the blast can you actually see it." Reku he said rubbing his side where it had hit the gundam's cockpit.

" Alright here's Maeko's cam she was facing the way Gallian was, and here's Reku's cam He was facing the mobile doll with the cannon, Had he not pushed Maeko out of the way, regardless of whether she wanted him to or not then she would have left that crator there instead of him. And then this is where his camera cuts off and Maeko catched Porthole's gundam flicker." Duo said out of breath.

" So why coulld he see it and not us? "Gallian asked.

" You two are good with your weapons, but he's good with the sences that work completly, that's why he's a preventor. He's had to compensate and you don't have to, or somethign like that." Quatre said hoping that this would finally get the girl and boy to stop arguing.

" I'm going outside to, well I don't need to tell you every thing do I?" And with that Reku walked outside.

" Stubborn, like his mother....

[Kira Anvari Maxwell]

I forgot to add this part because I had to help my mom.

****************

She finally got off the base where she had been held for more than three months.

" I've been here for far too long I want to go home."

She had an advantage, her husband was good at sneaking out of places and she learned from him. Her son had given her the key and she left to earth, to the preventor base.

" I'm almost safe I just have to get in."

She climbed the walls of the base knowing that if she didn't get help soon she would probably pass out.

She came to a lonely tree in the middle of the training ground and spotted a person she knew all too well taking a nap against the tall oak tree.

" Reku!" Hilde called out happy that he was not dead " Reku it's me!"

" Mom! It can't be." He ran to her almost knocking her over as he always did.

" I'm so happy you're alive, Alex, he's-

" the enemy mom I know. Dad! he'll want to know you're here."

And with that he picked her up and carried her inside.

" I..I.. don't believe it..How.." Duo tryed to speak but it was just too hard.

" I see your family is almost back together." Quatre said smiling.

" And this must be Miss Maeko....

[Chibi Reli]

"Maeko would be fine Mrs. Maxwell," Maeko says, one hand still on her sword.

"Just call me Hilde then," Hilde says with her husband's arm around her waist.

"It's great to see again Hilde," Quatre says, giving her a quick hug.

"You too Quatre, Wufei, Trowa."

"Glad to see your safe," Trowa says.

"Same," Wufei answers.

"So I guess Reku has told you all about his girlfriend," Gallian says as Reku blushes slightly and Maeko becomes angry.

"I am not his girlfriend!" she screams, turning around from the crowd.

"He's actually told me about everyone. You must be Gallian," Hilde says looking at the boy.

"Yes."

"And you must be Porthole and Naora."

"Yep," Naora chirps as Porthole just nods his head.

"Hilde, I know you just got back but we're going to be having a meeting with Lady Une soon to talk about this new enemy. DO you think you could give us some insight?" Quatre asks politely.

"Of course. I want to get those bastards back for everything they've done to me and my family," her voice dripping with venom.

"Well I think that we should be going then. Heero contacted us saying that Relena left her meeting a while ago," Trowa comments.

"Then we better get going." They all start to leave, until Hilde stops Maeko by putting her hand on Maeko's shoulder.

"Maeko, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Shouldn't we be getting down to the meeting?" she asks, trying to avoid the subject.

"It won't take that long. Promise. I just want to have a little girl chat," she says sweetly, turning the girl around.

"I guess so," she says giving in as Hilde leads her to a nearby table.
***
"Hey, where's Hilde?" Wufei asks.

"She stayed behind. She wants to talk to Maeko about stuff," Duo answers.
***
"Dammit! How did she get away?" Gelfis shouts at his advisors.

"WE don't know sir, but we believe that she is probably with the rest of her family right now."

"This isn't good. It looks like I'll have to think of something new."

The rating has just gone up!!! Sorry. Plus, I love drama. Hehehe.

[Kira Anvari Maxwell]

" I know my son can be very protective, to stop him you just have to show a little force. I don't mean smaking him, you got to give him a good punch in the arm."

" I don't like him. I hate him." Maeko said blushing a little.

" I didn't like Duo at first either, I even tried to kill him, but when I learned his true personality I warmed up to him."

" I don't like him, I don't!"

" I'll tell you something, For a while he had to go to public school and he met a little girl named Midoriko, who is just like you two now. She wouldn't stop protecting him because he was smaller than everyone else. He pushed her away and he got to leave. Then a few years ago we found out that she got married and seemed happy. Then she was murdered because there was no one there to protect her. He just makes sure that doesn't happen again."

" So still doesn't mean I like him.....

[Chibi Reli]

"He just cares about you. He's afraid of losing someone else," Hilde says, trying to change her mind.

"Well I have an equally sad story." She pulls off her left shoulder strap off her shirt, showing a long scar right where her heart lies underneith.
"You see this? I got this from a guy trying to protect me. I was in a fight with some much bigger guy and he didn't think I could handle this guy. When he called my name, he distracted me and the guy cut me right by my heart. Then my so called savior came and couldn't defeat this guy and instead got himself so badly hurt he can't handle a sword. Before he came, I was ready to make my final move on the guy. That's why I don't want any guy defending me. So you can tell that to your son."

"I think it would be better if you told him this story Maeko. This way, you too can figure things out. At least try that," Hilde asks, putting her hand on Maeko's right arm, as she puts her strap back on.

"Man, I'm making things too easy on him. Fine. Tell him we'll meet back where the gundams are when the meeting is done. Now, I think we should be going," she answers while walking out the door.

"There's definately something between them," HIlde whispers to herself as she walks out.

[Kira Anvari Maxwell]

" Hey, um look. If you want I wont even go near you alright, I wont even talk to you." Reku said as his mother and Maeko walked up.

" Reku I need you to help me with these readouts." And with that his mother pushed him away.

A few minutes later.

" Alright from the data I can tell you this, we need to be invisible to get past them." Reku said trying to sound important.

"And how are we going to do that genius." Gallian said with a snort.

" Well we use this." He pushes a button on his watch and disappears from view only to reappear next to his father.

" Very interesting, and you plan to make these for everyone." Wufei asked with a small hint of approval on his face.

" Actually I'm already finished, I did it when I was outside, um before my nap." He said rather timidly. " And the ones for our gundams I'll be finished with those tonight."

" Great then, everyone, you be leaving again tomorrow, so get some rest." Lady Une exclaimed.

An hour later when everyone is asleep an alert sounds and they rush to the hanger bay.

"There's Gallian, fully dressed, figures. Then Porthole, at least he changed his clothes. Naora, she's in her bed clothes. Maeko, she changed too. Then our son, half dressed and half asleep, well at least this time he has pants on." Hilde said as they all ran to the gundams

"So shall we go back inside." Duo said.

" Of course, oh and one thing, pick a little girls name."

" What?!" He said suddently figuring it out.

~~~~

" Alright, I just have to say one thing" Reku said avoiding everyone. "If you see a pulse cannon the only way you can tell it's been shot is if your gundam starts to vibrate loudly. In that case get away."

They start moving on their own when Dagger's mobile appears.

" There it is the one with the cannon." Naora said looking at it closely.

" Any takers on taking it down." Porthole finally.

" I'm not gonna, that damn thing is fast." Reku said looking at the movements of the suit. " mobile dolls are no match for five gundams."

" I'm going alone if you don't mind." Maeko said over the comm unit. " And I don't need anyone's help. Got it Maxwell?"

" Yeah... understood.....but....

[Gundam Girl]

Dagger paced back and forth in her office. "I put you in charge of this fleet because I trust your capabilites, Tohai."

"I know that, ma'am. Please try to understand, this is exterting a great deal of pressure of me." A shaky breath, then an exhale, and the captain's glass-green eyes opened to reveal icy indifference.

"Pressure or not, I'd appreciate it if you took down at least one Gundam."

"With all due respect, the pulse cannon's one-shot abilities won't be very efficient. These new Gundam models are faster than before and in Miss Relena's time of peace..."

"It is out of my hands, Tohai," Dagger interrupted harshly. "The Vice Foreign Minister will die soon enough. Now, I want you to lead that unit and take down one of those pilots."

From her mobile doll, Rosaan's grip tightened on the pulse cannon's controls. "Roger that." Shutting off the link, she surveyed the area and that five Gundams that occupied it. Her gaze lingered on the black, amethyst, and green Gundam.

Derekai, she thought. Have we finally come to this point? The point where I... Her grip shifted the mechanism off the pulse cannon and to close combat. ...Must kill you?

***

"They're moving in!" Naora shouted in surprise. "I thought they were gonna use the cannon."

Gallian's eyes narrowed. Close combat, blade drawn halfway toward the opponent, raised above left shoulder... Her brought up his Gundam's beam saber with just enough time to block the vicious swipe. "Can it really... No. It can't be her..."

Hearing his unintentionally audible murmur, Reku asked, "Hey, Gallian, you okay, man?"

Rosaan! Nearly convinced, Gallian shouted, "One of you, hold this one back! But don't harm him!"

Confused, but ready to make some kind of move, Maeko rushed forward and grabbed the arms of the mobile suit from behind.

Rosaan started to sweat. Was the cannon even an option?

"Got it! Do something!" Maeko urged him.

Using exceptional hacking skills, Gallian opened an insecure communication line with the enemy mobile doll. "Who are you?" he demanded, and was replied to with an abrupt halt of breathing. "Tell me, damn you!"

At the curse, Rosaan's eyes fluttered closed. "It is you," she murmured.

"Oh, God." It was all he could think to say. "Oh, God. Rosaan. Rosaan..." There was more shaky breathing, and he sped on. "This is you, isn't it? Christ, tell me how to get you out of there!"

There was some brief silence, and then finally soft laughter. "Who do you think you are speaking to this way, Gallian Kenn? This is the leader of the fifth unit of your main enemy. Do not speak of rescue of me. Instead, I would suggest you find some way to save yourself."

Gallian and his Gundam lurched back when the beam saber of the enemy mobile doll elongated.

"That's a hell of a blade," Reku said with gritted teeth. He shot down another doll.

"Rosaan!" Gallian called as she lifted her sword.

"Now die," she said with a monotone and surged out of Maeko's grip. "Die at my hands!" she shouted and thrust the sword at him.

There was a burning sensation from the heat when the beam saber struck through Sage Gundam's shoulder. "Rosaan..." he said again. "Why?"

Rosaan's voice barely crackled through. "You are my enemy. You are no longer Derekai Zusa, as I am no longer your betrothed. Farewell, Gallian Kenn."

"Rosaan," he started as his Gundam began to tremble with malfunction.

"Retreat!" Rosaan called to the unit she lead, and the mobile dolls responded and flew away.

"Gallian, stop!" Naora grabbed Sage Gundam's arm with her own Gundam's hand to keep him from racing off. "Your condition is terrible."

"She's leaving! Oh, God, let go!! Rosaan! ROSAAN!" Gallian's head fell forward in unconsciousness. In his previous delirium, he wished he'd asked only one thing:

Do you still wear my mother's ring?

[Chibi Reli]

"Naora, can I ask you a favor?" Reku asks over the private link as the five gundams return from their encounter.

"It depends. I don't know you that well."

"I was wondering...if you could talk to Maeko for me. You know, have some type of girl bonding thing," he says, slightly embaressed.

"What for?" she questions.

"So I can see if she likes me or even if there's a chance," he answers, trying to hide his face.

"I see. I guess I could. I could play Cupid. But you're going to have to owe me," she answers, smiling.

"Sure. Thanks."
***
"How is he?" Quatre asks as Gregory opens the hatch to Sage gundam, taking out the unconscoius Gallian.

"Still in pretty bad shape."

"Who's this Rosaan girl?" Porthole asks as the others have exited thier gundams.

"A very important girl from his past that hurt him, forming the man we now know."

"Is he going to be okay?" Reku asks.

"I hope so. Let's take him to medical bay though," the doctor says picking him u with Quatre's h elp and taking him away.

"Reku, could you stay here for a second?" MAeko asks from behind.

"Um...if you want Maeko." He turns towards her to see her in a more serious tone.

"I think we need to talk again."
***
"It looks like things are going great. One of the gundams was defeated just by seeing his old flame," Dagger said.

"I know. Maybe out best bet is to try to destroy the pilot's minds rather than their gundams since it has already proven effective. Now we just need to see who the next victim will be."


Another one has been completed! And study week has begun!
