A/N: this chapter is going back to Kayla and Heero until I can figure out what to do with the other pairings.
Chapter 5
Wormth filled his body, but he couldn't quite tell just where it was coming from. He opened his eyes and quickly masked the shocked look that crossed his features. He was warm because he was in the arms of someone, but not just any someone. That girl Kayla was keeping him from getting worse, but for the life of him he couldn't figure out why.
Slowly he slipped from her protective grip covering her back up in the bed before he tested his limbs. It was then he truly noticed what a wonderous place he was in was, and knew without her help, he wasn't going to find his Gundam, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try. As he succured a portable oxygen tank, Herro made his way from the room and out into the halls. Oz had seemingly given up their search and now flying camaras were now taking pictures of what was forming now that the magic was gone.
Time was running out and he knew it upon seeing them. If they saw the remains of this place then they would surely spot him, something he couldn't afford to happen. ::It just has to be here:: he thought not remembering anything after he had blacked out the first time. The clock was ticking now because his oxygen was started to run low. ::Kuso I'm slipping up…:: he thought when he noticed the gage for the tank had been broken.
Quickly he ran back only to discover that he was now lost the sound of mobile dolls suddenly approaching. He knew it wouldn't be long now before he was discovered, or Kayla for that matter. Kayla, why she had flashed in his mind he didn't know but he had to focus.. he was a loan fighter and he was better off alone right? His blue eyes grew as the said machines came into his line of vision, but before the machines had seen him he had managed to duck. Holding his breath like he was under water he started running back the way he had come to find another spare oxygen tank so he could get back to his mission on hand.
She groaned waking up only minutes after Heero had left and quickly noticed that he had left the bed. She instantly started to worry knowing that even though he tried to hide it, he wasn't ready to be running around just yet, but she had to wonder what was so important that he risked his health so. It wasn't long after she bugan her search that the noise of the strange machines filled the air, and it was almost instantly she knew that they were heading straight for her.
Sprinting down the halls she had an idea of where Heero might have tried to get to, and now she feared for his life. Sure enough she had been right again with her guessing and a few feet down the massive halway Heero lay almost passed out on the floor struggling to come back to where he once had bin. With much effort she reached down and tried to pick heero up, but that proved to be rather difficult. Transfering what she had she created a sort of oxygen buble around herself and him and waited for him to regain his strength.
Once he was strong enough he lept to his feat unsure on what to say or how to react. “I know what your looking for, follow me.” She said softly and Heero could only nod. This time it didn't shock him that she knew considering the facts, but what amazed him was how she moved through the halls seemingly weaker then himself and without relying on her eyesight. She pushed a code in a door and once confirmed the old door slid back creaking from lack of oil. In the dimly lit room stood the object Heero had been searching for looking brand knew not even a scratch or any sign that it ever had an owner or had even been used for that matter.
As he saw it, he ran for it not noticing the strain that Kayla was placing on herself to give him his Gundam back and giving him enough air to breath to reach it. He pulled a string and climbed to its middle hoppng in the hatch and buckeling up. As he started the machine, the roof opened giving him more then enough room to exit. “I suggest you don't try and fallow me” he stated using the on board sound system to allow Kayla to hear him. She just leaned against the open door frame before slumping to the floor, but by the time she had fainted, Heero was already long gone.
The sounds of guns being fired left and right soon echoed through the darkest depths of the moon and outer space as Heero shot and demolished one mobble doll after another easily clearing himself a path. ::this seems a little to easy:: he thought as he reached the lunar OZ base located on the other side of the moon from where he had been with Kayla. That girl had entered his thoughts again as well as flashbacks of a time when he felt truly happy.
Flashback
The sky was bright and little white fluffy clouds filled it passing by just as quickly as they had come. Heero when he was about four or five years old laughed as he skipped then rolled head first down a hill only to land on his back looking up at the sky. A shadow filled his vision and he sat up slightly startled. A little girl with a dog had stopped and introduced herself to him handing him a yellow flower.
Later that same day, the same boy held a mettle trigger in his hand explosions sounding instantly. The base that the girl had run too earlier that morning now lay in a heap smoke and flames billowing up from the broken glass and stone. Images of her bright smile, and her laugh rang through his head unable to understand why such were happening. Slipping a hand in his pocket he pulled out the flower and gazed at it a single tear landing on his palm.
The next morning after the fires had died out and ash remained where the base once had been heero searched for signs of the little girl or her dog. On top of some broken stone the dog lie dead covered in soot and its own blood a sad sight for anyone. Picking up the limp form of the animal, Heero berried it marking its grave with the simple flower.
End Flashback
Heero had to shake his head to clear it from the images which shocked even him. He had thought after that day he had forgotten, but meeting Kayla must have brought it back. She was so kind to him, and she had broken him of his feaver like state. Even when he wanted to leave to continue his mission, she had helped him in his quest only giving him a sad tired smile for his departure. As he fought on, he remembered what she had done for him and her face could never seem to leave his mind along with a dreadful feeling that something wasn't right.
Turning harshly he returned across the moon easily and quickly destroying anything that dared get in his way. ::I knew this was too easy, those ..:: he growled as he knocked off one mobile suit after another man operated or computer, it didn't matter to him. The moon palace had been exposed and now it was turning to dust right before his eyes. Tears once stung at his eyes but he held them back as he fought on clearing any obstacle not resting until he was convinced it was clear enough.
Landing he took his oxygen supply from the machine and sprinted back to where he last saw Kayla. Brown hair could almost be seen peering out over one of the smaller piles as the girl in question was loosing the battle to stay alive and awake. Digging through the rubble, he noticed she was going to be alright and only seemed to have a few minor cuts. Her labored breathing was due to the fact her appearance had changed. Her blonde locks had turned into her natural shade of brown. The little bit of clothing she had on hardly covered her. Arranging it so her most private area's were covered he lifted her knowing full well that you shouldn't move an injured person, but this was one of those times that you had to. Using the spare oxygen mask he had with his pack, he placed it over her and high tailed it for his Gundam.
He took off this time clearing a path as quickly as he could this being more of a challenge then the last. From the looks of things Kayla was there target and now that he had her everyone after her was now after him. Taking hit after hit and blasting everything in his path, he barely managed to make it to his home base on the L1 colony where he was from. The only thing that was on his mind was to make it a personal mission to find out who she was, and what exactly she was.
