Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Destructional Assassins ❯ From the Beginning ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. This is slightly alternate universe. The scouts will probably remember their past later…much later; we're talking the 10th chapter if I decided to continue.

I know that I said that I will give you all till Friday, but I changed it...how about New Years? Meanwhile, here is the 2nd chapter. If you like both chapters, then please let me know!

Destructional Assassins

The day had gone quite well so far, according to Hotaru's standards. Thankful that no one important recognized her, she walked down the crowd-infested paved street, breathing in the polluted air. She was off to see the contact…they were running low on some supplies…as she passed an empty club, memories flooded her mind at what had happened.

***Flashback***

A young girl sat in the club, watching people pass by. Truth be told, she really didn't want to be there, but it would be her main income. She tried to apply for jobs at restaurants and other places, but she just got turned down. A man around her age walked over to her and sat down across the table.

"So," he began, "are you for sale?" Against her will, she found herself nodding her head…but very slowly. She really needed money for food. "How much?" The girl chuckled as she responded, "A $100 per thirty minutes. The moment that I step out of this club with you, the timer starts ticking. If it takes thirty minutes to get to your house, then you still have to pay. If you don't pay, I'll just leave and perhaps shoot you with my trusty gun. Also, payment in advance." The man whistled under his breath. "Quite a price for just one night. You had better be worth the cash." Reaching for his wallet, he pulled out 4 $100 dollar bills and laid them on the table. "Two hours?" The girl asked. The man nodded while saying, "Come on, your mine for the night." Just as they were about to walk out the door, a young lady blocked the door. Reaching out a hand, the lady calmly told the man, "She's not for sale anymore." Taking the money out of her hand, the lady handed it back to the man. "You better find someone else then." The guy sighed and left. Meanwhile, the lady took the girl's hand and walked over to a booth.

"Just what the hell do you think you are doing? Don't you realize that I gotta eat? That was the first and best deal I have got, and very little girls can get away with selling themselves for 400 dollars." Shaking her head, the green-haired lady spoke. "I want you to save your virginity for the man you marry. You can do better than picking out a rich young guy to sleep with each night. That's why I am offering you a job." Curious, the girl listened. "Now, before I hire you, I need information about your entire past. Be sure to include experience with weapons, such as guns…perhaps missiles." Smirking, the girl started her story, knowing that with her experience, she would probably be hired.

"When I was little, I was trained on a hidden colony, L8. No one lived there but scientists who were testing to see if the colony was able to sustain more life. My father was Professor T. He badly wanted me to be a gundam pilot, so he took advantage of the gym. After many years, the other scientist saw that I was ready. They took me to the main scientist, Professor J, or Doctor J. When they told my father that they only wanted males, he snapped, saying that he could have spent the last couple years training someone else but wasted his time on me. Father got so frustrated that he continued my training, no matter what the other scientists said. He became crazed, and pushed me past my limits. That's why I ran away from him. He…he wanted me to become better than the other pilots, so that he could show the world that he could train better than anyone else. Each month they did stats on my progress. Each month I surpassed one pilot. This continued until I reached the level of the first pilot, the one from the L1 colony. The minute I passed him, my father seemed to turn into another person. Despite my obvious progress and achievements, he wanted me to be the best. He started to inject me with altered DNA and genes so that I would be more compatible with my environment. I have the best night-vision than any other human on the planet, due to feline genetics. I got other genes from various other cats, such as strength, speed, agility, and enhanced flexibility. The other scientists saw the danger, and helped me escape. From there, I was transferred to another hidden colony where I learned to master the arts of weaponry. They taught me all the ancient weapons, such as bows and arrows, swords, and even a lance. The weapon that I was most compatible with was strangely the glaive. From there they taught me how to use a gun, and my aim soon became true. I learned how to create detonation devices from the simple household appliances, such as candles, wood, and Styrofoam. They perfected my hearing and my senses. There was a virus outbreak on that colony, similar to that which was on the L2 colony. I got sent away, to live on Earth, and was adopted by a foster family. They never knew my capabilities, and sent me to school. They didn't know that I had tutoring during my training sessions, so they were quite surprised when they saw me coming home with straight 100s. They both died of cancer, so once again I was left alone. That was a month ago. Lately, I was doing odd jobs for people, and using that money to buy food. An old lady took me in and let me board with her. She said that I was the daughter she never had. Last night, I saw a gang of men come up to her and start beating her with sticks and robbing her of her purse. I automatically reached for my gun, but they had already run. I discovered that I had no more money, no more food, no more shelter, and no more jobs. As I was walking towards here today, I met a young girl who was selling herself on the streets. I questioned her about the money she made, and the amount was fascinating. That's why I am here, trying to make a living." The young girl sighed, as she realized how utterly boring and pointless her life had been. Surprisingly, the green-haired lady laughed.

"Then you're definitely perfect for the part. We need to work on your people skills, however. If you are willing, then I would like to turn you into an assassin. There are two others just like you…well, sort of like you. They had lead tough lives, and were saved from clubs by me. However it seems that they enjoy going out to clubs anyway. They are not as experienced as you are, but they are slowly learning."

At that, the lady pulled out $500 dollars and set it on the table. After seeing the confused look on the girls face, the woman replied, "This is your beginning salary. $500 dollars for pocket money, for I will provide room, clothes, and food for you. If you ever want a raise, just let me know, however, no raise until you complete a mission. Understood?" The girl silently nodded her head and pocketed the money. She followed the lady to her car. As she got in the passenger's seat, the lady added, "By the way, my name is Setsuna Meiou, and you may call me Setsuna. Whenever we are doing a mission, my code name is Time."

"My name is Hotaru Tomoe…and I suppose my code name will be Destruction."

"Perfect. The name suits you. Now, when we get home, I will introduce you to Blaze and Bunny."

Pulling up to the mansion, (A/N: Can't you just tell that I love mansions?! Lol…) Hotaru gasped as she saw the large house. "I'm going to live here?"

Setsuna took Hotaru up to her room, which was very dark, the walls were painted black and there were small lamps decorating the otherwise empty room. The bed was queen sized, and had black sheets and comforters. "We will go shopping for your clothes tomorrow. Let's go back downstairs where you will meet the other girls."

Sitting on the couch were two girls, both her age. One was wearing a tight red shirt, and tight black pants. The other was wearing a pink tank top with white shorts. "I'm Bunny!" Said the blonde. "My real name is Usagi Tsukino, but Bunny is my code name." Hotaru shook her hand while she turned to face the other girl. "My name is Rei Hino, and my code name is Blaze. It's a pleasure to meet you. It was getting quite lonely here with just Usagi and Setsuna…I'm glad that I have someone else to talk to!" Smiling softly at the raven-haired girl, Hotaru turned back to Setsuna. "May I see the weapon's room?" she inquired. Rei jumped up and asked, "Can I take her?"

Rei and Hotaru walked into the basement. Lined across walls were all the old fashioned weapons, which Hotaru was quite familiar with. On the other side of the wall, there were guns of all types and sizes. Seeing a worktable on the wall, Hotaru walked up to it. There, she saw multiple pins, earrings, headbands, and clips. "They are for altering." Rei informed her. "We take them apart, then install systems into them, such as tear gas, smoke bombs, detonation devices, tracers, timers, you name it!" Hotaru suddenly knew that she had gotten herself in something big, and for once she was doing something. Content with the supplies, they walked back up, where Setsuna was having tea. They found Usagi sitting in front of the television, watching the news.

After the first initial days, Hotaru felt right at home, and started working on her hacking skills. With the new record of 8 kills in 3 days, Setsuna gave Hotaru a raise, doubling her salary. Happy with her accomplishments, Hotaru accepted the offer to go clubbing with Rei and Usagi.

***Flashback ends***

Hotaru smiled in spite of herself. During their night at the club, they discovered Love, or Minako Aino. It was strange how fate played its part. Instead of opening up, Setsuna noticed that Destruction was rather closing herself up. True, she was the fourth member of the team, but much more valuable due to her past. Hotaru stopped her train of thought when she reached an old wooden door at the end of a dark alley. Knocking twice, the door opened immediately. A young boy opened it. "Yes?" he inquired. "Hello Jacob, I'm here for more supplies." Smiling sweetly at his adopted older sister, (all the girls adopted him) he led her to the room behind the kitchen. There she met her usual dealer. "Why hello Destruction! It is so nice to see you again! I have news for you! There is a new partner that we have added, you might know him." At that, an old man that Hotaru could not recognize turned around. "Hello, Hotaru." Stumbling back, she stared at the figure. "F-father?"
