Chapter Nine: Only One
?Lady, you mustn?t die today, you can?t.? Une groggily drifted in and out of consciousness listening to a familiar voice, ?Just as I won?t die today. Let?s both make it out alive again. But this time let?s do it together, the three of us. I swear I will correct my mistakes.? The voice kept tumbling around in her head the words registering but the voice not. It hit her right before she drifted back into unconsciousness, Treice.
Treice noticed that she had gone under again and pulled out his cell phone, hitting a speed dial button while he put it to his ear. ?Hello? the voice on the other end answered.
?Zechs are all of you ready?? he said referring to the other four Gundam Pilots.
?Yes preparations have been made and we are all set. We are now waiting on you.? Zech?s confirmed regarding the plans to take down what had come to be labeled Rougewave.
?Good, then head to the rendezvous point.? Treize put the phone as he reached his car and got in. He then began to think about the events of the past hour.
It had all started with that phone call from John, he smiled inwardly, no one else had known that it was Quinze. However his way of thinking hadn?t changed with his image. He had escaped Libra before it went down and happened to quite literally run into Treize during his escape. Quinze took Treize in and treated his wounds. After the Mariemaia incident which Quinze had and indirect hand in planning wise, he decided to take a more direct approach at killing peace so to speak. For this he used Treice. But he hadn?t realized Treize hadn?t changed until just an hour ago when Treize received a phone call.
?Hello Treize.?
?John, where are you right now?? Treize was worried.
?You can drop the John shit.? John said menacingly, ?In about ten minutes the entire universe will know the truth.?
?What do you mean?? Treize was now nervous and irritated which was very rare for him.
?Just turn to any news station and you?ll find out.? Treize heard John laugh on the other end of the phone then the line disconnected. Treize was in his car on his way to preventer HQ at the time to talk with Zechs and hopefully bring an end to this masquerade he had been performing. He pulled to the shoulder and switched on the TV which he had underneath the radio, immediately hearing the newscaster?s voice.
{Ladies and Gentlemen we are about to air a live feed that we were informed of just seconds ago. Here it is:
?People of Earth and Space? Treize recognized the voice as that of Johns. ?I will start off by introducing myself. I am known to most now as John, however the all people know me truly as Quinze. I am the creator of the failed Operation Meteor.?
?So he?s laying his cards out on the table.? Treize said quietly to himself. The face on the TV continued.
?With the failure of Meteor on two occasions I have decided to up the ante on the bid for mankind. Today each one of you will know what it truly means to be powerless. I along with the remnants of White Fang will demonstrate how easy it is for the feeble minded masses to collapse when their support is taken away. A new age is about to be ushered in with the death of these people.? the camera turned to focus on two figures. ?People of the universe I give you Queen Relena and her pathetic guard Gundam pilot 01. Together they are peace and war, wisdom and strength, and both are soon to be dead. But first a certain failed almost world leader has some words.? Quinze appeared on camera again, dragging a body with him. He picked the person up by the shoulder length red hair causing Treize?s heart to stop.
?That?s right Treize,? Quinze taunted, ?it?s your daughter. But don?t worry; she?s not dead, yet.? Quinze grabbed Mariemaia?s mouth and imitated speech, ?please help me daddy these men are very hairy and scary, don?t let them hurt me. Please save me daddy.? Quinze then brutally threw the unconscious figure against the wall where Relena were chained and also unconscious.
?NO? Treize screamed aloud.
?If you want her back Treize then come and fucking get her. But in the end she is going to meet the same fate as her dear fake mother.? Quinze smiled again, what had he done to Une. Treize started the car back up and hit the gas, he had to get to Une?s home.
?Ladies and Gentlemen, stay tuned,? Quinze continued, ?it?s the end of the fucking world and you are all going to see it live from this feed. So fuck your girl and tell your children good by because at twenty hundred today all people are going to die.? Quinze took a bow and the camera turned back to the prisoners. Various noises could be heard in the background before the audio was shut off, but the picture stayed on as promised.
Quinze you son of a bitch. You better hope that neither Une nor Mariemaia dies or I?ll make sure your death is as slow as possible. Treice pulled into the driveway and practically jumped out of the vehicle almost before it stopped. He ran through the open door and called for Une. He could smell it before he saw it but he knew it was there, blood. Walking into one of the hallways and seeing brown hair partially sticking out of a door on the ground, he knew who?s it was.
Running to the near lifeless figure of his beloved he threw himself down, feeling for the barley noticeable pulse while taking off his shirt and jacket to wrap around the wounds. After this was done he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed the number he knew he would reach Zechs at.
?Hello,? came the obviously stressed voice at the other end.
?Zechs it?s Treize, send an ambulance to Une?s right now she?s been shot.? his voice was calm but his mind was racing.
?What the hell are you??
?I?ll explain everything later Zech?s just send that damned ambulance.? with that said Treize hung up the phone and waited.
The ambulance had shown up and along with it Zechs, who Treize took the time to explain the situation with on the drive to the hospital. He told Zech?s about Quinze rescuing him and realizing that Quinze had lost it. He had been forced to go along with the plans the White Fang leader had constructed and decided the best thing he could do would be to sit back and wait for the opportune moment to bring Quinze and the White Fang down for good, until then he could only play along.
Zechs dropped Treize off at the hospital and informed him that his car would be delivered to the parking lot. He was going to HQ to get plans ready, Treize was to meet him there once his car was dropped off.
So here things stood Treize though as he pulled into the Preventers HQ building. ?Hold on my Lady and stay strong Mariemaia, I am coming to reign hell on those who have wronged you both.
**********
?What would you like us to do with his daughter sir?? one of the soldiers asked Quinze after the audio for the live feed was turned off.
?Beat her then string her ass up so all the world can see. Then bring the execution device in here and get it set up away from the camera. I want snipers posted at all locations and men posted at every door. Get your best men to guard the entrance to this room and make sure 01 is secured tighter then a virgin. If he manages to free himself we?re all dead. I don?t want anything to interrupt the beheading of his bitch.? with his instructions issued Quinze walked out of the room, a smile on his face and death in his eyes. His one thought, it?s time for the world to burn.
