Achilles

By Sabersonic
Chapter 6

Aboard the main hangar bay of the Izumo-Class Super Dimentional Battle Fortress Agamemnon, many soldiers were lined up in ceremony to greet one of the Legendary Heeros of the First Robotech War and First Invid War. There to greet the High Commanders, The Admiral and Lieutenant Colonel Heero Yuy stood in attention in REF Dress Uniforms. As the shuttle landed and the occupants stepped out, all saluted with either bare hands, rifles or sabers. The Secretary General and Admiral Hunter saluted back and they walked up towards the two twins.
"Madam, sir, I am Admiral of the 14th REF Armada, Agamemnon, and we are all honored to have you visit us aboard the flagship Agamemnon." The Admiral said.
"I'm glad to meet with you face-to-face, though it was odd that you did not have a name." Secretary General Lisa "Hayes" Hunter said.
"My apologies-" The Admiral was interrupted by Admiral Rick Hunter.
"That's okay, you'll have a name soon enough." The High Commanders, The Admiral and Colonel Lieutenant Heero Yuy walked away from the Hangar Bay and towards a conference room.
"May I ask you a question Madam Secretary General Hunter?" The Admiral asked.
"You have my permission, though you don't have to ask for it Admiral."
"What is the current situation with the REF? I have been born with the knowledge of the REF military up to the year 2047 AD."
"Well the REF had demilitarized after we defeated the Invid occupying Earth after 2048 and we made an attempt to built up the REF's strength when we received a distressed call from an alien government that we have said to you earlier."
"I see, so what is to become of my Armada after the Zentraedi are defeated?"
"Well I would have to have this discussed with the Third Earth Government Congress. But from what I've seen from what you have done with the REF starships, I would have to suggest to you as a call to action fleet when there is an attack upon the Sentinel Alliance Worlds." Secretary General Hunter then spies the Admiral's twin brother. "I see that your Lieutenant Colonel is somewhat quiet at the moment Admiral."\
"My twin brother, as far as I have gathered, doesn't speak unless he deems that it is important enough to say."
"Your twin brother?" Admiral Hunter asked.
"Yes, my brother and I are the final results of Project Achilles, a program to create the ultimate soldier for the battlefield. We had lived in my subordinate's home universe for twenty-one years. We returned here so that we may return to the battlefield that we were destined to fight upon."
"Aren't you worried of what you are going to do with your life when peace comes around?" Secretary General Hunter asked.
"As far as I've pondered, humanity will always be at war whether they want to or not." The Admiral replied.
"Dose your twin brother have a name?" Admiral Hunter asked.
"In the universe that we've spent most of our lives in, he was known as Heero Yuy."
"That is an interesting name." The Secretary General said as they reached the doors of the conference room.
"You must pardon me Madam Secretary General Hunter, but my brother and I must prepare for another attack from the Zentraedi." She simply nodded, then the twins saluted and left. The Hunters enter the conference room and they find Relena Darlian standing next to the table.
"Excuse us, but do you know where the representative is?" Admiral Hunter asked.
"I believe that I am that representative." Rick Hunter had the look of shock all over his face.
"I'm sorry, but I was expecting someone a little bit older." He apologized to the young Peacecraft.
"Don't worry, I have six years of experience behind me." Secretary General Lisa "Hayes" Hunter was surprised. How could this girl have become a political figure when she was at the age of fifteen. It just didn't seem right to her, girls her age should be going to college and visiting her friends and probably dating. "I am Vise Foreign Minister Relena Darlian of the Earth Sphere Unified Nation." Vice Foreign Minister, that is just too much for a girl so young. Not as much work as a Foreign Minister, but still just as difficult. Lisa wonders how did she become a Vice Foreign Minister at such a young age.
The others were freed to go where they liked aboard the Agamemnon, they saw the multiple factories aboard the Super Dimensional Battle Fortress and all the recreational and training areas aboard the enormous starship. They were amazed by the technological abilities of the REF, with the development of Veritech Mechas, Destroids and even the Cyclones. And all of them were powered by Protoculture, which is actually a form of alien plant life that created tremendous amounts of energy and are so compact. The technology of Mobile Suits required large nuclear reactors to power them. They soon reached a fitness area aboard the ship and they found several Robotech Defense Force Personnel, or RDF, from the other Armada there. The RDF and REF personnel found that they were looking at the Admiral punching at a punching bag with what seemed like ferocious attacks, only the REF personnel of the Agamemnon Armada were concerned about their Admiral.
"Man, did you see that, he just keeps on punching and kicking at that thing nonstop. I swear that he's not even human." One soldier said.
"Yah well even he has limits." A second soldier said.
"Well he doesn't seem to be slowing down." The Admiral assaulted the punching bag without protection for either his fists or shins as he practiced fighting techniques embedded in his DNA. His knuckles, elbows, knees and shins bleed from constant impacts but the Admiral continued to test his endurance in a fight.
'Why dose she have to interfere?' He threw a punch at the bag and it swayed backwards. 'Why dose she have to get in the way of my brother's programming?' A jump kick bent the incoming bag. 'He's nothing more than a soldier, why can't she accept that? That's his destiny in life!' He elbowed at the punching bag. 'Why dose she care? She's a pacifist fool of a politician and he's a soldier born from war and will always live for war. So why dose she believe otherwise!?' A round house kick sent the bag spinning. 'Why can't she see that it's our fate to be what we are?' An upper cut sent the bag flying upwards. 'Why is she so naive?' Another flying kick flung the bag backwards. 'WHY DOESN'T SHE UNDERSTAND!?!?!?!?!?!?!' Flashes of energy erupted from his skin as the bag swung forward from inertia. His hand glowed and it formed an energy blade and he sliced the bag in two, sending the contents flying where ever physics allowed them to go. The energy dissipated as he collapsed onto the padded floor on his knees and his lungs drew in air, hungry for oxygen. Blood flowed from the breaks of his skin where continuous impacts were. Bead of sweat were found all over his body as he tried to collect himself from his exercise. His subordinates rushed in to aid their tired Admiral and RDF soldiers and the Earth Sphere inhabitants were shocked as to what the Admiral had just seen.
"Sir, are you alright?" A soldier asked while lifting up her superior.
"I can manage by myself, but thank you." Not believing his words, the REF soldiers carried him towards the nearest medical facilities. As he walked passed, the RDF couldn't do anything but wonder.
"Did you see that? He just cut that thing in two!"
"Yah, I don't want to be around when he gets angry."
"Now that's what I call a soldier! Ruthless and deadly."
"Hate to see a Zentaedi go in a fistfight with him. He'll cook 'em alive." Relena looked upon the tired warrior as the Admiral was lead to a medical facility. She could only wonder what was going through his mind during his exercise. She then finds Heero walking up towards a viewing window on the other side of the area and she followed him. Heero looked back to see Relena following him as he reached the window.
"Relena?" Heero said as soon as she walked up to him.
"Why Heero? Why did you join up with him to fight?"
"As much as I don't want to Relena, my genes wants me to fight, and it won't leave me alone until I do fight. I just can't do it back at the Earth Sphere with total peace finally achieved." Heero explained the difficulties to Relena.
"But there is so much more that you could do Heero. So much more."
"Well, my DNA suggested otherwise. I almost got myself into a fight some time ago back at the Earth Sphere. If I don't fight and release the tension, I will explode and destroy anything that is closest." Heero turns towards the window. "There's no other choice left for me Relena." Relena could only pity him for what has happened to him since before he was born.
'Oh Heero, there's so much more you could be besides a soldier. You could have been beside me.' She though. Not knowing what to do with Heero's predicament as the stared off into star clustered space.
