Sea of Emotion ? Chapter 11
By Gundam Girl
Heero tore his eyes from Relena to inspect the layout. Though the Rosetta was a decaying mass of metal, it had a top deck that was almost perfectly aligned with the Golden Waves. He?d been able to judge that by seeing if he had to look up or down at Relena?s form. She had been dead on in his vision.
?Captain Merquise!? Treize called. ?This is how it?s going to happen. You want your colonel back, and I want Miss Noin. We have with us a line,? he motioned to a member of his crew, who held up a large, gun-like device, ?that will shoot from here straight to the wall of your ship, just behind where you are standing.? He smiled as many people turned to look at the wall behind Zechs. ?I trust you have something that will work similarly??
Of course they did, Zechs thought. Their equipment was the same as the Rosetta?s, only newer. ?I do,? he replied grimly.
?Then I?m sure you can figure out the rest from there. You will send Miss Noin to us on the line we will be attaching to your ship, at the same time as we send Miss Darlian to you on the line you attach to ours. They should land at the exact same time.? Treize smiled. ?Have we a deal, Captain??
Discreetly, Zechs grasped Noin?s wrist. ?I don?t know what to do,? he told her in a whisper.
Noin smiled. ?You must do what is necessary, sir.? Her eyes slid to the side to find his already on her. ?When I am at the halfway point, have your best shooter fire. By the time I hit the water, Colonel Darlian will already be here.?
Zechs inhaled sharply. ?I can?t just??
?I told you before what I wanted to happen. Please?? She turned her hand up and gripped Zechs?. ?Fulfill my last wish.?
The bounty hunter captain sighed and raised his voice, ?Very well!? he shouted to Treize. ?In five minutes, we will be ready.?
Heero watched with stone-cold emotions as Zechs calmly ordered a few men to fetch the required tools. Although his expression was solidly cool, his mind was working madly. Two lines, he thought. Two lines?
His eye landed on Noin, the kind woman who, just minutes earlier, had foretold that he would become a great sailor. In her eyes, he saw, was resign. And his blood surged through his veins. Just what in hell had she resigned to? Going back to Khushrenada?
His attention was averted yet again by the men who returned with a line-shooter and a grappling handle. Zechs took the shooter himself, as did Treize from across the water, and both men nodded to each other. The crew was ordered back, and the two lines connected to their appropriate ships with double metallic clangs, the magnets latching tightly.
Relena and Noin were both harnessed quickly and efficiently to the lines. Heero watched the two women acknowledge each other with a respectful bow of the head. He had to fight looking at Relena again. Seeing her only distracted his thinking. And he couldn?t stop thinking?
?How about we proceed the old-fashioned way?? Treize?s grin was still visible even in the distance between him and Zechs. ?One.?
Zechs? eyes narrowed, his heart pounding. Behind him, Trowa disengaged the safety of his gun. ?Two.?
Something glinted in the sun, and Heero saw it. One of the repairmen on the ship was standing just in front and to the right of him. He had obviously been working on something before being called up to the deck; there was a short chain in his hand. Short, but long enough to be held at both ends by two hands. It was well oiled and thicker than the lines between the Golden Wave and Rosetta.
Two lines! Without thinking, Heero suddenly grabbed the repairman?s shoulder, knocking him off guard, and wrenched the chain from him easily.
?Three.? Treize leaned forward and whispered in Relena?s ear, ?It was fun seeing you again, Miss Darlian.?
?Go to hell,? Relena muttered before Treize pushed her off and away from the ship.
?Goodbye, Noin,? Zechs said. When the woman didn?t reply, he gave her the push. He couldn?t see the Italian woman?s tears.
Both women were moving, and so was Heero. Giving no one the smallest of time to react, he jumped from the ship, straight onto the line Relena was approaching on, holding onto the chain?s ends on either side of the line.
?Heero!? Duo exclaimed as the Japanese youth went slinging down the line at a quick pace. ?What the fuck?!?
Relena was right there, speeding toward him. Heero knew what he was doing, or at least he knew what he wanted to happen. He was going so fast down the line that he was actually ahead of Noin. Ignoring Treize?s yell of outrage, or Relena?s shocked expressed, he caught the colonel around the waist a bit beyond the center of the line. Both were hanging onto the same line now and it drooped dramatically.
?What on earth,? he heard Relena say, but he didn?t have time to respond to it. He glanced back over his shoulder, face sweating, just in time to see Noin race toward them on her line. Quickly, he swung out his leg and stopped her path.
?What?s going on, Heero?!? Noin shouted. ?What are you trying to do??
On deck, Trowa had his gun aimed at Noin. ?Sir?? he said to Zechs.
?No!? Zechs yelled, holding out his arms. ?Wait!?
?Tell the captain not to dive,? Heero said sternly to Noin while the Rosetta crew was scrambling for weapons. ?And to open the door on the other side of the ship.?
?But what do you?ah!? Noin felt Heero give a hard, swift push to her stomach with his leg, and suddenly she was sailing backwards.
?We?re stuck here!? Relena exclaimed to him, her hair flapping madly in the breeze around them. ?We don?t have anything to propel us either way.?
Heero glanced at the Rosetta and then the Golden Wave; she was right, of course. Then he looked up, glaring at the sky. ?Well,? he replied to her concern, his voice flat, ?we have gravity.? Clutching both ends of the chain with one hand, he pulled an army knife from his pocket, switched it out.
?Heero!? Relena protested, but in no time he had cut the harness away from her body. She didn?t scream, though she was surprised, and she clutched at Heero?s waist. ?We?ll die!? she insisted. ?They?ll shoot us!?
Heero gave her a straight look. ?Would you rather have them kill us or give ourselves a shot, real or fake??
Relena?s gaze softened. ?Let go,? she whispered.
He did, and then they were falling, falling together into the cold, cold water below. They landed with a splash.
---
Zechs watched, horrified, as his sister and Heero Yuy dropped into the sea. Noin was still in his arms, trembling. He?d been the one to catch her when Yuy had pushed her back toward the Golden Wave. They stood there together, seeing the two younger people surface, taking in air.
He looked up; Treize?s men were armed now, loading bullets and waiting for their leader?s orders to open fire.
He turned and shouted at his crew. ?Prepare to??
?No!? Noin half-screamed it. ?That boy said to stay above the water! And?and to open a lower door on the other side of the ship!?
The look Zechs gave her was confused. ?I don?t understand.?
?I don?t either,? Noin admitted. ?He didn?t say anything else. But please! Trust him, Zechs!?
Was there any choice? Zechs looked at the two below, swimming toward the ship, and new there wasn?t. He turned away from the sight of his sister possibly meeting her death. Noin?s tear-filled eyes took their effect on him.
?Everyone below!? he bellowed. ?Stick to the bridge! Barton, Chang, Winner, and Maxwell, you?re with me!? He looked and Noin and took her hand. He found that his was shaking right along with hers. ?You too,? he said softly, and they raced to go inside the ship.
---
Relena was fine with swimming. She was even fine with swimming under fire, if it came to that. What she was not fine with, in any way, shape, or form, was swimming in a goddamn dress; the same dress she?d been wearing on the date she?d gone on with the idiot of a man swimming with her.
?What the hell is your plan, Heero?? she demanded, more out of annoyance than fear. ?Do you even have one?!?
?Yes,? he said stonily, though he had absolutely no idea when he?d had time to think of it. ?We?re going to do something very crazy, Relena.?
A wave soared toward her; she dove and came back up, her brows furrowed. ?I can?t,? she told him, gasping for air, ?think of anything so crazy?as dropping from sixteen feet into the water, managing to survive the impact, and then swimming in saltwater in?? she stopped herself from saying ?a dress,? ?in between two ships. We?ll be crushed in a minute, if either of them dive.?
?The Wave isn?t going to dive,? he told her. They stopped swimming and let there legs rest for a few seconds, staying afloat with their ever-moving arms. ?Noin took care of that. And Treize isn?t going to dive because, actually, they?re about to shoot at us.? He grabbed her hand and got them swimming again. ?Which inspired the crazy thing we?re going to do.?
?And that is??
Heero met her eyes; they were startled and she was pale, but she was also determined. She radiated courage. He only hoped he could be like that, too. ?We?re going to swim underneath the Wave to the other side.?
He might as well have said they were going to chew at each other?s jugulars so they could kill each other instead of Treize doing it. ?Are you insane?!? she shouted.
?I already told you that it?d be nuts,? he said bluntly. They were nearing the ship. ?When I say breath, I want you to breath.?
?Heero??
?Breath!? When she didn?t, he knew he?d have to jumpstart it in her. Grabbing her back the waist and back of the head, he moved in like he was going to kiss her; her chest heaved in surprise, and he pushed her under the surface of the water with him, where everything was black and airless and cold. He heard gunshots and clangs against the metal above them.
The Golden Wave was a wide ship, but it was longer in length than width. And since they were to the front of it, it was the narrowest they could get to. But it was a challenge. They kicked relentlessly, and Heero released her completely. Not caring if he went blind or not, he did yet another stupid thing and opened his eyes. The salt of the water stung them, and he felt agony, but he kept them open. Beside him, he saw Relena?s eyes were closed, but she was still nearby and she was keeping up. He looked forward. The edge of the ship wasn?t that far, but his lungs were complaining.
In the next five seconds, they burned. Though he couldn?t do much thinking, he imagined Relena was in just as much misery, but he forced his aching muscles to move faster and harder. He would collapse soon, his body screamed that is was so.
But there was light now, he could see it, could practically feel it. Suddenly, there were at the edge of the underside of the ship; he grabbed the edge, and looked back. Relena was no longer moving, and was behind him by about a foot and a half. He stretched his arms, and by a miracle, he managed to hook his leg below the knee around Relena?s waist. He pulled, then, on the edge of the ship, bringing both of them out from below the Wave. Grabbing her with his free arms, he kicked upward, even kicking off the ship.
They exploded from the water. Heero gasped like he?d just been woken from the dead. He surmised that he probably hadn?t been too far from it.
Then he saw Relena, who was limp against his side. Frantic, he could only swim toward the ladder that had been let out of the open door that he saw clearly, just five feet away. In a few seconds, he was able to grab onto one of the ladders rungs, Relena feeling like dead weight in his arms. He saw Zechs at the door, reaching down. The captain shouted something, but Heero could only hear his heart pounding and his own panting breath.
He felt Relena being lifted from his grip, and, like a madman, he reached up to try to catch her, but instead, something caught him; someone was holding onto his wrist. He felt himself being pulled, and then another pair of hands was grabbing him, hoisting him upward.
?Yuy?? someone said. ?Jesus Christ, you fucking moron, don?t you dare die! God, the Colonel will have your ass! Yuy!?
He felt himself hitting something hard; it was cold, but not as cold as the water he?d been in for what felt like an eternity. God, at least he could breath. After only lying still for a few seconds, he was being carried again, and he heard a door shut behind him.
?He is going to be okay, right?? asked a man who sounded emotionless.
?We?ll see,? answered a kinder voice. ?We need to get him out of these clothes. Sally?s seeing to the Colonel, so bring Heero to my ward.?
Relena. Was Relena all right? Damn it, he couldn?t see anything, and his eyes stung like hell. He couldn?t begin to think of who was speaking, though he knew they were Golden Wave crewmembers.
?What did he say?? a gruff voice asked.
For a moment, there was silence except for the footstep sounds that the men were making. ?Nothing,? one of them answered.
Nothing, Heero thought. Nothing sounded good right now.
The blackness darkened even more. And then, there was nothing.
---
Zechs watched Duo and Quatre carry Heero up toward the infirmary, and he knew Noin and Wufei were ahead of them with Relena. Both of them, Quatre had estimated, would be all right with a dry bed and a long time of rest.
Well, resting was an appropriate thing for them to do. As for Zechs?
He turned to face Trowa, the only man still standing with him. ?The Rosetta haven?t even attempted to dive yet, have they??
?No, sir,? Trowa said calmly. ?However, reports from on deck say that Treize is probably planning a getaway as we speak.?
?He?s not getting anywhere.? Zechs smiled. If anything, this would make Relena happy when she woke up. ?Alert the Bregenz authorities immediately, Mr. Barton. Khushrenada will be behind bars by dinner time.?

I?ve noted how this chapter is a bit shorter than the others, but I thought this would be a good place to stop. At least everybody?s safe. Well, except for Treize, but? Oh whatever.
Review please!
