Chapter 3: Orphan No More
Adin finally finds out who his mother was, and he didn't like
it. Him, a soldier born from the ashes of the fallen civilization of
Earth was born from a pacifist, even worst still an aristocrat. And he
thought that he was having a bad life.
"This is so not right. I mean we don't even look alike."
"Well, you do look like Heero." Duo answered. Adin took a long
look at Heero.
"Really, I didn't notice that before." Everyone excluding Adin
and Heero sweat dropped. "Okay, what's the next subject?"
"The next subject has the same set of parents." Then there was
a girl that has the body and face of Relena Peacecraft, but have the
brown hair and Prussian Blue eyes of Heero Yuy.
"That's my twin sister Janiel." Then Adin looked more carefully
at his twin counterpart. "I still don't see the resemblance." Again,
massive sweat dropped from the crowd. "Next!" And it proceeds onto the
next set of unknown DNA in which he has identified as his fellow militia
soldiers and childhood friends. There were several offspring that even
he couldn't believe. "The baka had spawned." Said Adin to both Hilde
and Duo's children. The only thing he said about Quatre and Dorothy's
children was "Quatre, I feel so sorry for you." and was punched in the
face by Dorothy Catalonia. Other matches had unknown parents. "Don't
look at me, I'm just as stooped as you are." Then the scientists did an
imagery of the unknown parents. Only Trowa knows who the unknown parent
is and he wondered why.
"Midii?" Trowa whispered and wondered why he would meet her
again. Catherine, however, had not known the person that would be the
father of her child, Elisabeth Bloom. After the identification of the
future children, the scientists suggest that they get visual reference
by viewing Adin's memory. They revealed a memory visualizer.
"Hell no, I am not going in that bucket of bolts, and Duo it's
not funny."
"I didn't say anything. Did you read my mind or something?" Duo
asked.
"Hey, I'm an empath, not a telepath. I can only read emotions
and that's it. I don't know what I got it from, nor can I get rid of it."
Then Relena had a sudden thought, that felling that she was feeling when
she was outside Adin's room last night was his emotions and that she can
feel the emotions of others. She was an Empath. After several minutes of
convincing Adin, he was finally within the machine.
"Now just relax. The machine works only when your asleep and so
we need to inject you with something to help you get to sleep." Doctor J
said.
"Your not going to use a needle are you?"
"No, we don't really use such primitive devises." Then Doctor J
used a hypospray and injected the substance into him.
"So, your the guys who invented the Hypo-*snore*" Adin went
completely asleep. Doctor H looked disappointed.
"This neutralizer batch is a bit slow." The scientists activated
the machine and the computer screen shows a now ruined Newport and the
skies are almost as red as blood.
Within the skies were sky hovercrafts that were firing plasma
charges at the ground and were obviously owned by the Bio Weapons. In
the foreground, Adin was inside a still standing building and was
holding a hologram radio receiver and radio chatter was heard. Next to
him was Bartholomew and Janiel and behind them was Elisabeth along with
a small group of children.
"Rodger that HQ. Well be escorting the orphans to rendezvous
point AX-7. Well see you at 0900 hours." Adin then turned off the
hologram radio and turned towards the group. "I still don't see why we
have to baby-sit them."
"Adin, we have to. These kids are the only survivors of that
sea transport. Their just lucky that they strayed from the group."
Bartholomew said and below them, they could hear the bloody screams of
children and the liquid roars and energy discharges of the Bio Weapons
and the shadows of the massacre was shown on a wall.
"Sucks to be them." Was all Adin said before moving on towards
the rendezvous point AX-7. The group traveled through the ruin streets
of Newport filled with the fallen bodies and skeletons of the
Humanity-Bio Weapon War. One of the children stopped to look at
something that looked like a ragged up teddy bear. "Hey kid, your not
suppose to stop-" Then a Bio Weapon appeared from a building crack and
grabbed the young girl and hanged her in the air. The foot soldiers
raised their plasma rifles in attempt to find a vital point on the Bio
Weapon that didn't had the child in the line. The girl screamed her
lungs out as the Bio Weapon swung her back and forth roughly. "Screw
this!" Adin simply shot the dog-legs off the Bio Weapon and it fell down
and the child fell from its claws. Adin grabbed the child in his arms and
blasted the Bio Weapons head off into shredded flesh. "It's okay now kid.
You can let go now." But the child refused to let go and fear can be seen
in her eyes and Adin can feel her fear. He continued in his efforts to pull
off the frighten child off for the circulation of his arm is being caught
off.
"Off, off, please get off, please." Then he spots the teddy doll
that she was previously looking at and Adin picked the thing up. "Look,
teddy, teddy." One of the button eyes fell out and he pushed it back in.
"Teddy." The girl grabbed the teddy but still kept her hold on his arm.
"Well, at least I can feel the blood in my arm again." They continued their
trek until they reached an old abandoned building that looked like the
Institute where the Rendezvous Point AZ-7 was and in the distance, a huge
object that seemed to be made of flesh and was one of the most dominant
structures in Newport Ruins. There they found a battle between the
Liberation Militia and the Bio Weapons. Militia Mobile Suits fought off
Bio Weapon Sky Hovercraft firing plasma discharges and missiles at each
other. The children were frighten of the fight and the group spots a
carrier hover craft motioning them to board. "You don't have to tell me
twice." And the group boarded the carrier.
There were several explosions and multiple soldiers of both
sides dieing as the carrier lifted off towards the Headquarters of the
Newport Front. Three F-22 Raptors escorted the carrier to the headquarters
and following them were seven Bio Weapon Mobile Suits. There was a sky
battle and then the carrier was hit just as they were at the ruin Mall
and the carrier crashed. The four militia soldiers were forced to carry
the orphans and dash for the defense line while the Bio Weapons fired upon
them and the defense turrets. "This is not my day, this is not my day,
this is not my day." Adin continued to chant as he fired several plasma
discharges and continued for the defense line. One of the Bio Weapons fires
a missile and lands somewhere near Adin and he finds himself flying in
the air and looked as if he was going to crash into the asphalt when he
suddenly woke up.
"UGH!!!" Adin gasped as he roughly awaken from his memory. He
finds that he was still in the lab and the screen showed him flying from
the explosion with the girl still clinging to his arm.
"What happened after that?" Relena was the first to ask Adin.
"Well, the girl was scarred for life I believe and was scared to
death. Never left headquarters ever since and I was seventeen when that
happened." Duo then counted on his fingers.
"So that will make her how old?" Duo asked.
"She would be seventeen in 239." Adin answered. Relena was amazed
and horrified to the fact that her own children have been brought up into
a world of war and anarchy. Adin did say that the cause of the Bio Weapons'
upraise was unknown, but she wanted to stop it so that her children, no
everyone's children would not have to suffer in that kind of a world full
of endless bloodshed. She knows that in ten years of time, the Bio Weapons
would rise to power and begin the slaughter that would rage for decades
and her hope for total pacifism would only be a dream again and then
something came up in her mind. What of the colonies.
"Adin, whatever happened to the colonies?" Relena asked.
"Them? Why they never got touched by the conflict. The highest
we've been form the Earth was the orbit of MO V because of their blockade."
"What blockade?" Dorothy asked Adin.
"Well during the early days of the war, the Bio Weapons build a
huge blockade armada that blocked traffic from the Earth to the rest of
the Earth Sphere. Probably had a better time then us Earth Bound soldiers."
Adin then stood up and was about to leave until one of the scientists wanted
an audience(It just sounds better, so just shoot me alright.).
"Well, due to some of the information we've gathered from Adin,
we may have an idea where the Bio Weapons came from." Master O said.
"What do yah mean? We've been fighting the Bio Weapons since
215 and we still don't know where they came from, their intentions, or
how they rose to power before the first attack so how can you-" Adin then
saw what the scientists were talking about when they revealed several
tubes filled with a liquid and contained an object connected by wires.
The object had a black exoskeleton, a an arrowhead crest-shaped head,
dog-hind-jointed-legs, three fingers and on it wrists an energy discharge
weapon. Adin was simply in a state of shock and promptly fell to the floor
when he shouted "BIO WEAPON!!!!!". His plasma rifle fell from the ground
and tried to grabbed it back, when Heero stopped him. Adin then pulled
himself up and simply stated "What are those bastards doing here?" to
the scientists.
"Well to begin with, we developed these prototype synthetic
soldiers after I have made the grave mistake of creating a emotionalist
soldier of a human being. So we decided that we should create a soldier
that is not of human origin and we came up with the ideal of the Bio
Weapon. The prototypes still haven't left the birthing pods, but at least
you have and idea of were the Bio Weapons first originated." Doctor J.
said.
"So this is why Newport was the center of the war, this is why
they are so heartless in battle upon us. It's because you fucking
scientists fucking created these bastards! This is where they were fist
created! Do you have any idea how many died because of your fucked up
shit of a weapon?! Huh?!" Adin roared at the scientists who first created
his mortal enemy since he was very young.
"True, we did created your enemy, but we still do not know the
reasoning for their holocaust of the human race on earth and not the
colonies. We are so deeply sorry-" Doctor G was interrupted by Adin's
next outburst.
"You better be sorry because the blood of all those people,
those children, my comrades, now stain your hands. There is no way
anything would atone this action that cost the lives of hundreds of
innocent humans! Nothing!" Adin then left the lab and marched down the
halls angrily. Now harboring two truths that he was happier not knowing;
the origin of his enemy, the Bio Weapons, and the identity of his mother,
Relena Peacecraft.
It was later in the day and Relena found Adin in the garden,
working again on his rifle as if preparing for an upcoming battle. She
walks up to him.
"Adin, can we talk?" Relena politely asked he future son of
her true love.
"Umm, no, I'm not in the mood." Adin said with anger in his
voice, knowing that he feels his mothers need to talk to him. "After
what I've heard earlier, I'm not in the mood." He then got up from the
bench, grabbing is rifle and started to walk away. " So later Relena."
"Could you at least call me Mom, I mean you are my future-"
"Nope, your not my mom yet. I'm not born in this year, so see
yah." And he promptly walked away. Relena walked up to him, still wanting
to talk.
"Could you at least tell me why you hate me so much. I can feel
it."
"So, I got the empathy thing from you, huh? So this is my answer,
not only the fact that I, a soldier from the ashes of a fallen humanity
of Earth, was born from a pacifist, but to the fact that you are a
stinking ARISTOCRAT!!!!"
"What?"
"That's right, and aristocrat. A cast of people who are filthy
in wealth and don't have to work to get the money and think that their
better then everyone else who do work for their finances. I've studied
history and it shows that aristocrats and beurocrats, who are the same
type of people if you ask me, start wars between humans."
"I'm not like that."
"Then tell me, before you met Pops, did you ever even thought
of other people that are so called 'less fortunate' as different or
equal, huh? Tell me? Not just on the colonies but on Earth as well."
"Well I-"
"See, yah don't. You haven't considered non-aristocrats as
equals before you met Pops. You aristocrats are all the same." Adin
then left the garden to find another place where he wouldn't be
disturbed by such nonsense that he himself has not experience such as
total pacifism. In his war torn life, he has never meet with such ideas
and never considered reality until he came to the past. He then found
himself in the Gundam Garage in which he found several familiar suits
and then found Wing Zero, a suit that has saved him several times during
the war. Adin then walks up to Heero who was working on Zero's software.
"She's a real beauty huh?" Heero then turns to Adin.
"You've piloted Zero?"
"Yah, you insisted that I piloted Zero."
"I did?"
"Yah, don't know why though. Maybe I sort a remind you of what
you were younger." Then Heero gets an idea of why. Maybe that he wanted
to be like a father to Adin, but didn't want to know that he was Adin's
father. For what reason for this deception? Is it because he somehow
failed Adin, his sister Janiel, and Relena and that he didn't want to
explain to him why in the near future? "Yo, what are you thinking about?"
"What?" Heero deep thoughts was interrupted by his future spawn.
"You were getting some negative vibes there." Heero still didn't
believe that this person could actually be his son.
"Hey Adin, what are you talking about?" Duo walks up to the two.
"Pops was starting to get negative emotions there."
"Heero? Emotional?"
"Yah, it's a bit hard to believe that this stone hard freak has
emotions, no offence Pops." Heero simply grunted.
"How can you talk so much Adin?" Heero asked him.
"Remember, I was raised by both you and the braided baka here."
"Hey, you can't call me- What's a baka?" Duo was dumbfounded from
Adin's insult.
"Don't worry, Pops will call you that all the time soon enough."
Then the two worked on Wing Zero together. Adin still finds this era
alien and strange to him but he started to feel comfortable more and more the longer he stayed, though there are still concepts in which he is totally dumbfounded of. He continued on this existence in the past, knowing that when someone enters the gateway of the Chronic Displacement Equipment, they never return to the present in which they left and so he figures that he will never return to 239, nor will 239 will come to him and that is the only thing he feel proud of, knowing that fact that a certain girl will never bother him again. He was once again inside the lab and the latest memory they have seen was the final battle in which all of the forces of the Liberation Militias began a counterattack on the main hive and he was selected to be sent into the past to stop the Bio Weapons plans. "And I find myself here and the rest they say is history."
"Do you remember anyone following you when you entered the
gateway?" Wufei asked.
"Nope, no one followed me to- Wait a minute, I do remember a
shape following- Oh no, please no." Adin had fear in his eyes, that a
sudden realization came to his mind, someone that he most despised had
followed him to the past.
"What?" Everyone asked. Then Pagan came to the lab.
"Mister Adin, there's someone here to see you."
"Who could it be?" 'Please let me be wrong, please.' Adin added
mentally. He rushed towards the door, hoping that he was wrong, he was
right. In front of the door, there was a girl of 25 years of age, with
platinum blond hair, and wearing the same armor from the future and
rifle. Adin promptly shut the door. "No, I'm right." The others were
just staring at him, wondering who was out there.
"Adin, is that you?" The girl said from the closed door.
"Nope, no one goes by that name in this house. You must have
the wrong address or something." Adin said in a nerdy tone of voice.
"Adin, who was that?" Noin asked.
"No one that you need to worry about yet."
"Say, doesn't she look like that Rosalie girl of yours Zechs?"
Duo asked while Adin continued to make hand gestures to get him to shut
up.
"Why don't you let her in Adin?" Several people asked.
"Right, just don't mention me, 'kay?" Then he jumped onto the
ceiling and held on with his fingertips and soles of his shoes. The
group with the exemption of Heero Yuy was amazed to see that Adin could
do something like that, then they opened the door and let Rosalie in
the castle and she constantly looks around.
"Have any of you ever seen a young man with honey colored hair
and Aquarian eyes here? I'm looking for him." Rosalie asked the group.
The group tried their best not to give Adin's location, but she caught
on and found him hanging on the ceiling. "Adin, what are you doing up
there? You could get hurt." Just then, Adin noticed that a piece of the
ceiling that he was hanging on started to crack and he had a faint ideal
of what would happen.
"This is going to-" The peace broke off and he fell onto the
floor with the piece crashing on his head. "Hurt!" The group gathered
around the "crash site" and both Rosalie and Relena helped him out.
When he finds Rosalie holding his arm, he pushes her aside roughly.
"Away." Relena, Heero, and Duo have and idea why Adin didn't like
Rosalie that much. Rosalie sees Milliardo and looked greatly surprised.
"Father?" Rosalie whispered. Later on after a chaos when Adin
was being chased by Rosalie, the group gathered at the family room and
Rosalie sitting next to Adin while he pushes her away every time she
comes too close.
"Off." He said as he pushes Rosalie away. Both Milliardo and
Lucrezia wondered why their own daughter would be attracted to her own
cosine. Heero then was reminded of what Relena had done to him during
the Eve Wars when he watches the two future children of war.
"Is this the thing you didn't want to talk about Adin?" Duo
joked.
"Yes, I-Off- still do not understand why-Off- she would be
attracted to-Off- me. I mean we are bloody cosines for crying out-Off-
loud-Off!" Many of the girls with the exemption of Relena and Lucrezia
were giggling every time Rosalie came to close to Adin and he would
shove her away and every time he would say "Off."
"Do you have and idea when this happened?"
"Not as far as I remember. She's probably been pestering me
ever since we were toddlers-Off." Adin said.
"Well it was love at first sight with me." Rosalie said as she
then cuddled against Adin.
"And became my annoyance OFF!!! Do that one more time and I'll
shoot you in the head."
"Adin, you know your unable to do that." And she cuddled to him
once more and Adin pulls out his rifle and shot it in her direction.
He looks back and looks disappointed as he only singed her hair.
"DAG NABIT I MISSED!!!" He threw his rifle to the floor in
frustration, picked it up again and left the room. Rosalie stared with
wide eyes for several moments before she fainted. The group were equally
shocked as they rushed to Rosalie's aid. Even Heero was somewhat
surprised to see that his somewhat curse has befallen upon his children.
Did Adin really miss her intentionally or was it outside of his control
like him when he was being acquainted to his future wife, Relena. Adin
was found in his room, frustrated to the fact as to why he didn't blow
her brains out earlier. He had the perfect opportunity and he screwed
up and he did not miss consciously. Then a thought came to his mind that
he did it subconsciously. "I have no feeling towards her exempt annoyance
and hatred, that is fucking all!" At least that's what he hoped that
was all.
Each and everyday, he would help Heero with the maintenance
of Wing Zero and everyday there is at least one chase in which Adin was
the one running away and Rosalie was the one who was chasing towards.
It was annoying at first, but then they got used to it and everyday,
the couples with the exemption of Relena and Heero would ask them about
their future children. Then they asked him to go into the memory
visualizer and everyone was present.
In this memory, Adin was about four years of age and he was
following two elder versions of Duo and Heero along with another group
of unknown militia soldier. Following him was the orphans and following
closely behind him was the two year old Rosalie. The group were wandering
within the ruins of Newport City and by the look of the amount of equipment
and crates being carried, they had not found their Headquarters yet. Adin
was looking around for no apparent reason. Then he sees a large ruin
that used to be the Newport Mall.
"Pops, look at what I found!" Adin pointed at the mall. Heero
then patted Adin's head in acknowledgement.
"Good work, you'll make a fine scout Adin."
"'Ell no I'm not going to be a soup-scout." Adin corrected his
lip.
"And why not Adin?"
"'Cuz soups-scouts are the firm-first ones to get shop-shot.
Stinking lip!"
"Don't worry kid, the lip thing will end soon enough when you
get older." Duo advised the young Adin.
"Beeper-better, this lip is strapping- starting to make me
pups-nuts. Ugh!" Adin corrected himself again.
"Well I think it's kawaii Adin-kun." The little two year old
Rosalie said.
"Rosalie-bark-baka, nobody's listening to you so shut up."
"Papa tells me that God is listening to us."
"Well whatever his name isn't replaying- replying to us." He
attempted the finger that Duo had taught him but only raised his pinky.
"Dag nabit, wrong finger."
"Adin, I don't think that you're suppose to learn that when
your that young." Heero told Adin.
"Funny, Duo said that I should learn it because there are
always people that annoy you Pops." Heero then gave Duo his patient
Death Glare and he shrugged nervously. Just then, there was an
explosion and the foot soldier scattered and the children were shown
a temporary shelter. Adin and the other kids watch as Heero and the
other militia soldiers rushed off into battle against the Bio Weapons.
Adin then sees a rifle by him and he quickly picks it up the rifle and
holds it over his shoulder.
"Adin, what are you doing?" Bartholomew asked Adin.
"I have no glue-clue. But I'm not just going to sit here and
watch Pops and others get killed. It's kill or be killed." Adin said
and then he felt Rosalie on his foot.
"But you'll get hurt Adin-kun."
"That'll be the waist-least of my worries and don't call me
Adin-kun and get of of my beg-leg." Then Adin rushed into battle
followed closely by Janiel, both having no clue as to what to due but
fire at the enemy. "RAAAAAA!!!!!" He was a good shot for his age and
size as he plucked one Bio Weapon after another and Heero spots the
two twins.
"Adin? Janiel? What are you doing here?" Heero asked.
"'Were here to yelp- help Pops." Then there were several
explosions off in the distance.
"This is not safe, you have to get back to the others."
"But Pops-" Adin was interrupted by an unknown soldier.
"We got them on the run. We've beat them." The soldier shouted.
"That was too easy." Heero said bluntly.
"Humph, easy my foot. Those Bio Weapons did give us a real
beating." Duo said.
"Well lets set up our base in there." Heero pointed at the mall
ruin.
"What? In there?" Heero nodded.
"It's large enough to house Mobile Suits and ammunition."
"Heero, you do realize that we don't have Mobile Suits. And
Wufei won't be able to produce even Leo Mobile suits until he can
repair the MO II construction zones and that will take weeks and we
still have no idea how to transport them here."
"Then we'll cross that bridge when we meet it." Adin puts a
hand over his eyes and scans the area.
"What bridge Pops, I don't see it?" As the soldiers assembled
into the building, the orphans were reunited again.
"Oh Adin-kun, you were wonderful." Rosalie was complicating
Adin's recent actions.
"Shut up." He then turned to Bartholomew. "I'm so sorry that
you had-have to handle this." Adin pointed at Rosalie.
"Tell me about it. Say Quatre, what do you think we're going
to do now?" Bartholomew asked.
"I don't know, I'm not a psychic." Quatre II said.
"Come on, last one is a stinking Bio Weapon." The orphans
laughed as they ran towards the ruin mall and trying to beat everyone
else from reaching it first. Adin was the first to enter the mall and
something caught his eye and he stopped in his tracks and before he
realized his mistakes, the other orphans crash into him and they formed
a pile of fallen orphans and at the very bottom was Adin. "Hey I can't
breath!" Cried the muffled voice of young Adin. Everyone who was able
to pull them selves out stood up and helped the others and all that was
left was Rosalie and Adin. "Away." Adin warned as soon as Rosalie came
too close to him.
"Why'd you stop Adin?" Noel asked. Adin simply pointed at a
store filled with odd objects. "What is that?"
"Why'd you asking me for? I'm just as buffered-baffled as you
guys are." They walked up towards the ruin store and the first thing
they saw was a ragged teddy bear with its stuffing escaping from its
stitches. "That thing looks ugly if you ask me."
"Adin, you shouldn't judge things just by their exterior looks."
Rosalie told Adin.
"Rosalie, like I said before, nobody's listening to you. And
besides, do you have an idea of what bat-wack-that thing is?" Rosalie
just shrugged. "Then it's settled then. This thing will be called Ugly
until-"
"It's a teddy bear Adin." Heero walked up to them.
"A what?" Adin asked.
"The thing is called a teddy bear, a doll used to play with by
you children before the war with the Bio Weapons."
"What kid would want to play with that ugly thing?" Adin
pointed at the ragged teddy bear.
"It didn't always looked like that Adin." Then Heero grabbed
an aging, but still intact teddy bear and handed it to Adin. "This is
what they normally looked like."
"I'd still call it Ugly." Adin said with a grotesque face as
he sized up the doll in his arms. The orphan girls began to grow an
interest towards the relic toy.
"I think it's cute." Rosalie stated.
"Rosalie, nobody's listen-" Adin was caught short by Heero
placing a hand over his mouth.
"I believe that it is rude to say that to her Adin."
"Oh and you are Pops?" Adin crossed his arms, poorly. He tried
every formation to try to get the basic shape right. "Close enough."
"Adin's got you there Heero." Duo then received a punch in the
face for that remark.
"And that proves my joint-point." And Adin tosses the teddy
bear to Rosalie. "Here, yah can keep old ugly here."
"Thank you Adin, your so kind-"
"SHUT UP!" Adin loudly grunted to her.
"And what about the rest of us brother?" Janiel asked her twin
brother.
"Hey, there's more where that came from." Adin thumb-pointed
at the store and the orphans rushed in to collect their booty. Heero
looks at Adin, expecting him to go with the other orphans. "What? What
are you looking at me like that?"
"Aren't you going to join them?"
"And what would I find interesting about a-" Adin was
interrupted by Quatre II's discovery.
"Hey, I found a rifle!"
"Hey wait! Save me one." Adin rushed into the ruin toy store.
Duo chuckled.
"And to think, those kids would be begging their parents to
take them there if the Bio Weapons didn't attacked." Adin then tripped
and fell into a bin filled with action figures.
"What are these guys?" He figured that the action figure were
actual living people and decided to free them of their plastic bondage.
"Hey guys, we got some trapped soldiers here!"
"What, where?" Hollered Anastasia.
"Right over here." The group gathered at the bin and looked at
the action figures.
"I think that their already dead." Jean Diana Winner said.
"Guess so. Might as well give them a proper burial." Bartholomew
then thought for a minute and said. "Dose anyone know what a proper
burial is?" There were several shaking of heads. "Lets ask Heero then."
The group then gathered at where Heero was standing and he had seen what
they were looking at.
"Kids, their just toys." Heero flatly said. The orphans did a
double take and then they realized that the soldiers were toys.
"Oh." The orphans said in union.
And then Adin woke up. "That was pleasant." Was the first thing Adin
said after waking up. Several members began to chuckle at this memory.
"What?"
"You were cute when you were younger." Hilde and Dorothy said.
"Huh? What's so cute about me?" Adin asked.
"Your funny lip." Hilde said.
"Don't remind me." Then he looked at Heero. "I still can't
believe that Stone Cold Heero Yuy here is actually my father. No
offence."
"None taken." Heero flatly replied.
"Right, and Miss Cheery Pacifist Airhead is my mother."
"Adin, you shouldn't call me, your own mother that." Relena
scolded him.
"Look, I have learned from my experiences that there are just
some facts that should be remained unknown and I was happier before,
and it seems that this is one of them."
"But Adin-" Rosalie was interrupted by Adin's next outburst.
"Shut up Rosalie, nobody's listening to you, nobody's listening
to you, nobody's listening to you, right!"
"Don't you dare speak to my daughter in that tone of voice!"
Milliardo then became defensive of his daughter.
"Hey Mills-"
"Adin, I said don't call me Mills!"
"Right, whatever Mills-"
"DON'T CALL ME MILLS!!! MY NAME IS MILLIARDO!!!" Then the two
began an argument in which a few insults and curses were thrown at each
other and were on the verge to make a fistfight when they were
controlled by headlocks. "Lucrezia, what are you doing?"
"Let me at him! Let me at him! Let me at him!"
"Shut up you bastard of a brat!"
"Oh that is it! It's now on white boy!"
"I'm going to bust your ass, you ingrate of a child!"
"Bring it on whitey! I'm right here!" It took the group several
anarchy filled minutes to try and cool the tempers of the two combatants.
The two avoided each other for the remainder of the day, not wanting to
see the other anytime soon. The Gundam pilots went to their Gundams as
they received information of a missile silo was being controlled by
unknown rebels and Adin wanted to join up, but Heero refused. "Aw come
on, I know how to pilot a Mobile Suit. Let me go with yah guys!"
"I said no Adin and that's it!"
"But, but-"
"No buts! I do not want you to get hurt."
"You, worried I'd get hurt? Come on you know me better than
that? I'm not like Uncle Duo over here."
"Hey, stop making jokes about me!" Duo called from his cockpit
waving his fist.
"Come on. You've trusted me with a Mobile Suit before-or after-
you know what I mean." Heero pondered for several seconds before-
"Right, just don't get yourself killed." Adin jumped as he raced
towards the only available Mobile Suit, a White Taurus. The Gundams
and the Taurus launched from the hangar bay and towards the missile
silo. Relena then ran into the hangar and watched as the Gundams
launched.
'Heero, Adin, please be alright.' Relena thought as she sees
the Gundams streak the sky. At the missile silo, the pilots find
themselves under fire by modified Leos and Aries. The Leo had huge
European style shields and had what seemed to be a gem at the center
of the shield, beam cannons on each shoulder, armored skirt, large
machine rifle with army knife bayonet, missile pods on its Gundam
style legs and a head shaped like that of a motorcycle helmet. The
Aries where also different for they lacked the bulky jet engines and
thick thighs of the old Aries model and were replaced by smaller jet
thrusters that were attached to its back and the legs fold into wings
in flight mode and had machine cannons on it's shoulder and internal
missiles in its wings and had beam sabers stored in its hips. Both the
Aries and Leos were painted with black and red colors.
"Whoa, where did they come from?" Duo asked as several beam
cannons fired at him.
"Those are Bio Weapon Mobile Suits." Adin eyes widen at the
sight of the Mobile Suits.
"What?" All of the pilots said in union.
"During the war, the Bio Weapons started to salvage Mobile
Suit parts and started to rebuild and modify the designs of all Mobile
Suits so they are lethal and more agile than standard mobile suits.
They can even be proven a match for a Gundam."
"Well, lets find that out." Wufei then thrusts forward and
uses his beam triton to eliminate most of the Aries in the air. Twice
that many replaced them as the Leos began a sky sweep attack with their
plasma weapons. Trowa fires all of his missiles at the Leos but most
of them survived the barrage with their energy shields and continued
their defense. Quatre and Duo made close up assaults with their blades
and sliced the Leos one by one, Heero and Adin fire their beam cannons
at the surviving Aries that fired their remaining missiles that were
easily dodged. Wufei made a huge break in the defense line and there
was a gap for the Gundams to pass through, but with difficulty with the
masses of Leos armed with beam sabers and soon enough, every mobile
suit was facing ten Leos at a time.
"This is not good. These are not good odds. You get use to it."
The pilots, minus Heero, looks at him strangely. "What?" He slices
through three Leos at once.
"Get used to it?" Duo exclaims as he slices two more Leos.
"Yah, this happens every other hour in a deep campaign." Adin
uses his special cannon to wipe out a group of Leos. The Gundam then
gain access to the silo, Quatre, Duo and Wufei kept the Bio Weapons'
Mobile Suit at bay while the remaining pilots entered the base. In
Adin's perspective, the Bio Weapons were sending full barrages against
them. To the pilot's perspective, they were simply firing warning shots
to scare off unnecessary lives. Like-
"Civilians." Heero said as he fired another round of bullets at
the Bio Weapons.
"Say what?" Adin asked his future father.
"They are shooting us as if we are nothing but civilians and
they are firing warning shots and yet we are killing them. They are
attacking at full strength only at you."
"I don't get it. Why are they trying to kill me and yet spare
your lives. They attacked us when we got to the silos."
"They were firing warning shots at us and yet we are killing
them." The pilots finally reached the main control center of the silo
base and they faced overwhelming odds of Bio Weapons and a group of
them seem to be programming the launch sequence at a current unknown
target. After several minutes of fierce fighting, the silo was taken
back and the Bio Weapons retreated. Heero went to see what their target
was and what they found made more questions then answers. "Launch time
is T-minus nine years, seven months, fourteen days, fifty-six minutes
and twenty-two seconds?"
"What kind of launch time is that? I mean, come on what are
they waiting for?" Adin asked as if expecting no answer.
"It seems that they are targeting something that would be
coming until that time."
"Yah, but what are they targeting? The quadrant points of the
'suppose' target is nothing more than space and more space. No colonies,
no shipping lines, no civilization, no nothing. Just space."
"Exempt for something that arrives periodically." Heero stated
as he turns away from the terminal.
"What a comet?" Adin questioned sarcastically.
"From the data downloaded, yes." The pilots found several
missile silos and laser cannons targeting several target areas that
seems to be the path of a comet that has an astronomically close path
to earth. A comet that seems to have never seen the light of the sun
this close, yet.
Adin finally finds out who his mother was, and he didn't like
it. Him, a soldier born from the ashes of the fallen civilization of
Earth was born from a pacifist, even worst still an aristocrat. And he
thought that he was having a bad life.
"This is so not right. I mean we don't even look alike."
"Well, you do look like Heero." Duo answered. Adin took a long
look at Heero.
"Really, I didn't notice that before." Everyone excluding Adin
and Heero sweat dropped. "Okay, what's the next subject?"
"The next subject has the same set of parents." Then there was
a girl that has the body and face of Relena Peacecraft, but have the
brown hair and Prussian Blue eyes of Heero Yuy.
"That's my twin sister Janiel." Then Adin looked more carefully
at his twin counterpart. "I still don't see the resemblance." Again,
massive sweat dropped from the crowd. "Next!" And it proceeds onto the
next set of unknown DNA in which he has identified as his fellow militia
soldiers and childhood friends. There were several offspring that even
he couldn't believe. "The baka had spawned." Said Adin to both Hilde
and Duo's children. The only thing he said about Quatre and Dorothy's
children was "Quatre, I feel so sorry for you." and was punched in the
face by Dorothy Catalonia. Other matches had unknown parents. "Don't
look at me, I'm just as stooped as you are." Then the scientists did an
imagery of the unknown parents. Only Trowa knows who the unknown parent
is and he wondered why.
"Midii?" Trowa whispered and wondered why he would meet her
again. Catherine, however, had not known the person that would be the
father of her child, Elisabeth Bloom. After the identification of the
future children, the scientists suggest that they get visual reference
by viewing Adin's memory. They revealed a memory visualizer.
"Hell no, I am not going in that bucket of bolts, and Duo it's
not funny."
"I didn't say anything. Did you read my mind or something?" Duo
asked.
"Hey, I'm an empath, not a telepath. I can only read emotions
and that's it. I don't know what I got it from, nor can I get rid of it."
Then Relena had a sudden thought, that felling that she was feeling when
she was outside Adin's room last night was his emotions and that she can
feel the emotions of others. She was an Empath. After several minutes of
convincing Adin, he was finally within the machine.
"Now just relax. The machine works only when your asleep and so
we need to inject you with something to help you get to sleep." Doctor J
said.
"Your not going to use a needle are you?"
"No, we don't really use such primitive devises." Then Doctor J
used a hypospray and injected the substance into him.
"So, your the guys who invented the Hypo-*snore*" Adin went
completely asleep. Doctor H looked disappointed.
"This neutralizer batch is a bit slow." The scientists activated
the machine and the computer screen shows a now ruined Newport and the
skies are almost as red as blood.
Within the skies were sky hovercrafts that were firing plasma
charges at the ground and were obviously owned by the Bio Weapons. In
the foreground, Adin was inside a still standing building and was
holding a hologram radio receiver and radio chatter was heard. Next to
him was Bartholomew and Janiel and behind them was Elisabeth along with
a small group of children.
"Rodger that HQ. Well be escorting the orphans to rendezvous
point AX-7. Well see you at 0900 hours." Adin then turned off the
hologram radio and turned towards the group. "I still don't see why we
have to baby-sit them."
"Adin, we have to. These kids are the only survivors of that
sea transport. Their just lucky that they strayed from the group."
Bartholomew said and below them, they could hear the bloody screams of
children and the liquid roars and energy discharges of the Bio Weapons
and the shadows of the massacre was shown on a wall.
"Sucks to be them." Was all Adin said before moving on towards
the rendezvous point AX-7. The group traveled through the ruin streets
of Newport filled with the fallen bodies and skeletons of the
Humanity-Bio Weapon War. One of the children stopped to look at
something that looked like a ragged up teddy bear. "Hey kid, your not
suppose to stop-" Then a Bio Weapon appeared from a building crack and
grabbed the young girl and hanged her in the air. The foot soldiers
raised their plasma rifles in attempt to find a vital point on the Bio
Weapon that didn't had the child in the line. The girl screamed her
lungs out as the Bio Weapon swung her back and forth roughly. "Screw
this!" Adin simply shot the dog-legs off the Bio Weapon and it fell down
and the child fell from its claws. Adin grabbed the child in his arms and
blasted the Bio Weapons head off into shredded flesh. "It's okay now kid.
You can let go now." But the child refused to let go and fear can be seen
in her eyes and Adin can feel her fear. He continued in his efforts to pull
off the frighten child off for the circulation of his arm is being caught
off.
"Off, off, please get off, please." Then he spots the teddy doll
that she was previously looking at and Adin picked the thing up. "Look,
teddy, teddy." One of the button eyes fell out and he pushed it back in.
"Teddy." The girl grabbed the teddy but still kept her hold on his arm.
"Well, at least I can feel the blood in my arm again." They continued their
trek until they reached an old abandoned building that looked like the
Institute where the Rendezvous Point AZ-7 was and in the distance, a huge
object that seemed to be made of flesh and was one of the most dominant
structures in Newport Ruins. There they found a battle between the
Liberation Militia and the Bio Weapons. Militia Mobile Suits fought off
Bio Weapon Sky Hovercraft firing plasma discharges and missiles at each
other. The children were frighten of the fight and the group spots a
carrier hover craft motioning them to board. "You don't have to tell me
twice." And the group boarded the carrier.
There were several explosions and multiple soldiers of both
sides dieing as the carrier lifted off towards the Headquarters of the
Newport Front. Three F-22 Raptors escorted the carrier to the headquarters
and following them were seven Bio Weapon Mobile Suits. There was a sky
battle and then the carrier was hit just as they were at the ruin Mall
and the carrier crashed. The four militia soldiers were forced to carry
the orphans and dash for the defense line while the Bio Weapons fired upon
them and the defense turrets. "This is not my day, this is not my day,
this is not my day." Adin continued to chant as he fired several plasma
discharges and continued for the defense line. One of the Bio Weapons fires
a missile and lands somewhere near Adin and he finds himself flying in
the air and looked as if he was going to crash into the asphalt when he
suddenly woke up.
"UGH!!!" Adin gasped as he roughly awaken from his memory. He
finds that he was still in the lab and the screen showed him flying from
the explosion with the girl still clinging to his arm.
"What happened after that?" Relena was the first to ask Adin.
"Well, the girl was scarred for life I believe and was scared to
death. Never left headquarters ever since and I was seventeen when that
happened." Duo then counted on his fingers.
"So that will make her how old?" Duo asked.
"She would be seventeen in 239." Adin answered. Relena was amazed
and horrified to the fact that her own children have been brought up into
a world of war and anarchy. Adin did say that the cause of the Bio Weapons'
upraise was unknown, but she wanted to stop it so that her children, no
everyone's children would not have to suffer in that kind of a world full
of endless bloodshed. She knows that in ten years of time, the Bio Weapons
would rise to power and begin the slaughter that would rage for decades
and her hope for total pacifism would only be a dream again and then
something came up in her mind. What of the colonies.
"Adin, whatever happened to the colonies?" Relena asked.
"Them? Why they never got touched by the conflict. The highest
we've been form the Earth was the orbit of MO V because of their blockade."
"What blockade?" Dorothy asked Adin.
"Well during the early days of the war, the Bio Weapons build a
huge blockade armada that blocked traffic from the Earth to the rest of
the Earth Sphere. Probably had a better time then us Earth Bound soldiers."
Adin then stood up and was about to leave until one of the scientists wanted
an audience(It just sounds better, so just shoot me alright.).
"Well, due to some of the information we've gathered from Adin,
we may have an idea where the Bio Weapons came from." Master O said.
"What do yah mean? We've been fighting the Bio Weapons since
215 and we still don't know where they came from, their intentions, or
how they rose to power before the first attack so how can you-" Adin then
saw what the scientists were talking about when they revealed several
tubes filled with a liquid and contained an object connected by wires.
The object had a black exoskeleton, a an arrowhead crest-shaped head,
dog-hind-jointed-legs, three fingers and on it wrists an energy discharge
weapon. Adin was simply in a state of shock and promptly fell to the floor
when he shouted "BIO WEAPON!!!!!". His plasma rifle fell from the ground
and tried to grabbed it back, when Heero stopped him. Adin then pulled
himself up and simply stated "What are those bastards doing here?" to
the scientists.
"Well to begin with, we developed these prototype synthetic
soldiers after I have made the grave mistake of creating a emotionalist
soldier of a human being. So we decided that we should create a soldier
that is not of human origin and we came up with the ideal of the Bio
Weapon. The prototypes still haven't left the birthing pods, but at least
you have and idea of were the Bio Weapons first originated." Doctor J.
said.
"So this is why Newport was the center of the war, this is why
they are so heartless in battle upon us. It's because you fucking
scientists fucking created these bastards! This is where they were fist
created! Do you have any idea how many died because of your fucked up
shit of a weapon?! Huh?!" Adin roared at the scientists who first created
his mortal enemy since he was very young.
"True, we did created your enemy, but we still do not know the
reasoning for their holocaust of the human race on earth and not the
colonies. We are so deeply sorry-" Doctor G was interrupted by Adin's
next outburst.
"You better be sorry because the blood of all those people,
those children, my comrades, now stain your hands. There is no way
anything would atone this action that cost the lives of hundreds of
innocent humans! Nothing!" Adin then left the lab and marched down the
halls angrily. Now harboring two truths that he was happier not knowing;
the origin of his enemy, the Bio Weapons, and the identity of his mother,
Relena Peacecraft.
It was later in the day and Relena found Adin in the garden,
working again on his rifle as if preparing for an upcoming battle. She
walks up to him.
"Adin, can we talk?" Relena politely asked he future son of
her true love.
"Umm, no, I'm not in the mood." Adin said with anger in his
voice, knowing that he feels his mothers need to talk to him. "After
what I've heard earlier, I'm not in the mood." He then got up from the
bench, grabbing is rifle and started to walk away. " So later Relena."
"Could you at least call me Mom, I mean you are my future-"
"Nope, your not my mom yet. I'm not born in this year, so see
yah." And he promptly walked away. Relena walked up to him, still wanting
to talk.
"Could you at least tell me why you hate me so much. I can feel
it."
"So, I got the empathy thing from you, huh? So this is my answer,
not only the fact that I, a soldier from the ashes of a fallen humanity
of Earth, was born from a pacifist, but to the fact that you are a
stinking ARISTOCRAT!!!!"
"What?"
"That's right, and aristocrat. A cast of people who are filthy
in wealth and don't have to work to get the money and think that their
better then everyone else who do work for their finances. I've studied
history and it shows that aristocrats and beurocrats, who are the same
type of people if you ask me, start wars between humans."
"I'm not like that."
"Then tell me, before you met Pops, did you ever even thought
of other people that are so called 'less fortunate' as different or
equal, huh? Tell me? Not just on the colonies but on Earth as well."
"Well I-"
"See, yah don't. You haven't considered non-aristocrats as
equals before you met Pops. You aristocrats are all the same." Adin
then left the garden to find another place where he wouldn't be
disturbed by such nonsense that he himself has not experience such as
total pacifism. In his war torn life, he has never meet with such ideas
and never considered reality until he came to the past. He then found
himself in the Gundam Garage in which he found several familiar suits
and then found Wing Zero, a suit that has saved him several times during
the war. Adin then walks up to Heero who was working on Zero's software.
"She's a real beauty huh?" Heero then turns to Adin.
"You've piloted Zero?"
"Yah, you insisted that I piloted Zero."
"I did?"
"Yah, don't know why though. Maybe I sort a remind you of what
you were younger." Then Heero gets an idea of why. Maybe that he wanted
to be like a father to Adin, but didn't want to know that he was Adin's
father. For what reason for this deception? Is it because he somehow
failed Adin, his sister Janiel, and Relena and that he didn't want to
explain to him why in the near future? "Yo, what are you thinking about?"
"What?" Heero deep thoughts was interrupted by his future spawn.
"You were getting some negative vibes there." Heero still didn't
believe that this person could actually be his son.
"Hey Adin, what are you talking about?" Duo walks up to the two.
"Pops was starting to get negative emotions there."
"Heero? Emotional?"
"Yah, it's a bit hard to believe that this stone hard freak has
emotions, no offence Pops." Heero simply grunted.
"How can you talk so much Adin?" Heero asked him.
"Remember, I was raised by both you and the braided baka here."
"Hey, you can't call me- What's a baka?" Duo was dumbfounded from
Adin's insult.
"Don't worry, Pops will call you that all the time soon enough."
Then the two worked on Wing Zero together. Adin still finds this era
alien and strange to him but he started to feel comfortable more and more the longer he stayed, though there are still concepts in which he is totally dumbfounded of. He continued on this existence in the past, knowing that when someone enters the gateway of the Chronic Displacement Equipment, they never return to the present in which they left and so he figures that he will never return to 239, nor will 239 will come to him and that is the only thing he feel proud of, knowing that fact that a certain girl will never bother him again. He was once again inside the lab and the latest memory they have seen was the final battle in which all of the forces of the Liberation Militias began a counterattack on the main hive and he was selected to be sent into the past to stop the Bio Weapons plans. "And I find myself here and the rest they say is history."
"Do you remember anyone following you when you entered the
gateway?" Wufei asked.
"Nope, no one followed me to- Wait a minute, I do remember a
shape following- Oh no, please no." Adin had fear in his eyes, that a
sudden realization came to his mind, someone that he most despised had
followed him to the past.
"What?" Everyone asked. Then Pagan came to the lab.
"Mister Adin, there's someone here to see you."
"Who could it be?" 'Please let me be wrong, please.' Adin added
mentally. He rushed towards the door, hoping that he was wrong, he was
right. In front of the door, there was a girl of 25 years of age, with
platinum blond hair, and wearing the same armor from the future and
rifle. Adin promptly shut the door. "No, I'm right." The others were
just staring at him, wondering who was out there.
"Adin, is that you?" The girl said from the closed door.
"Nope, no one goes by that name in this house. You must have
the wrong address or something." Adin said in a nerdy tone of voice.
"Adin, who was that?" Noin asked.
"No one that you need to worry about yet."
"Say, doesn't she look like that Rosalie girl of yours Zechs?"
Duo asked while Adin continued to make hand gestures to get him to shut
up.
"Why don't you let her in Adin?" Several people asked.
"Right, just don't mention me, 'kay?" Then he jumped onto the
ceiling and held on with his fingertips and soles of his shoes. The
group with the exemption of Heero Yuy was amazed to see that Adin could
do something like that, then they opened the door and let Rosalie in
the castle and she constantly looks around.
"Have any of you ever seen a young man with honey colored hair
and Aquarian eyes here? I'm looking for him." Rosalie asked the group.
The group tried their best not to give Adin's location, but she caught
on and found him hanging on the ceiling. "Adin, what are you doing up
there? You could get hurt." Just then, Adin noticed that a piece of the
ceiling that he was hanging on started to crack and he had a faint ideal
of what would happen.
"This is going to-" The peace broke off and he fell onto the
floor with the piece crashing on his head. "Hurt!" The group gathered
around the "crash site" and both Rosalie and Relena helped him out.
When he finds Rosalie holding his arm, he pushes her aside roughly.
"Away." Relena, Heero, and Duo have and idea why Adin didn't like
Rosalie that much. Rosalie sees Milliardo and looked greatly surprised.
"Father?" Rosalie whispered. Later on after a chaos when Adin
was being chased by Rosalie, the group gathered at the family room and
Rosalie sitting next to Adin while he pushes her away every time she
comes too close.
"Off." He said as he pushes Rosalie away. Both Milliardo and
Lucrezia wondered why their own daughter would be attracted to her own
cosine. Heero then was reminded of what Relena had done to him during
the Eve Wars when he watches the two future children of war.
"Is this the thing you didn't want to talk about Adin?" Duo
joked.
"Yes, I-Off- still do not understand why-Off- she would be
attracted to-Off- me. I mean we are bloody cosines for crying out-Off-
loud-Off!" Many of the girls with the exemption of Relena and Lucrezia
were giggling every time Rosalie came to close to Adin and he would
shove her away and every time he would say "Off."
"Do you have and idea when this happened?"
"Not as far as I remember. She's probably been pestering me
ever since we were toddlers-Off." Adin said.
"Well it was love at first sight with me." Rosalie said as she
then cuddled against Adin.
"And became my annoyance OFF!!! Do that one more time and I'll
shoot you in the head."
"Adin, you know your unable to do that." And she cuddled to him
once more and Adin pulls out his rifle and shot it in her direction.
He looks back and looks disappointed as he only singed her hair.
"DAG NABIT I MISSED!!!" He threw his rifle to the floor in
frustration, picked it up again and left the room. Rosalie stared with
wide eyes for several moments before she fainted. The group were equally
shocked as they rushed to Rosalie's aid. Even Heero was somewhat
surprised to see that his somewhat curse has befallen upon his children.
Did Adin really miss her intentionally or was it outside of his control
like him when he was being acquainted to his future wife, Relena. Adin
was found in his room, frustrated to the fact as to why he didn't blow
her brains out earlier. He had the perfect opportunity and he screwed
up and he did not miss consciously. Then a thought came to his mind that
he did it subconsciously. "I have no feeling towards her exempt annoyance
and hatred, that is fucking all!" At least that's what he hoped that
was all.
Each and everyday, he would help Heero with the maintenance
of Wing Zero and everyday there is at least one chase in which Adin was
the one running away and Rosalie was the one who was chasing towards.
It was annoying at first, but then they got used to it and everyday,
the couples with the exemption of Relena and Heero would ask them about
their future children. Then they asked him to go into the memory
visualizer and everyone was present.
In this memory, Adin was about four years of age and he was
following two elder versions of Duo and Heero along with another group
of unknown militia soldier. Following him was the orphans and following
closely behind him was the two year old Rosalie. The group were wandering
within the ruins of Newport City and by the look of the amount of equipment
and crates being carried, they had not found their Headquarters yet. Adin
was looking around for no apparent reason. Then he sees a large ruin
that used to be the Newport Mall.
"Pops, look at what I found!" Adin pointed at the mall. Heero
then patted Adin's head in acknowledgement.
"Good work, you'll make a fine scout Adin."
"'Ell no I'm not going to be a soup-scout." Adin corrected his
lip.
"And why not Adin?"
"'Cuz soups-scouts are the firm-first ones to get shop-shot.
Stinking lip!"
"Don't worry kid, the lip thing will end soon enough when you
get older." Duo advised the young Adin.
"Beeper-better, this lip is strapping- starting to make me
pups-nuts. Ugh!" Adin corrected himself again.
"Well I think it's kawaii Adin-kun." The little two year old
Rosalie said.
"Rosalie-bark-baka, nobody's listening to you so shut up."
"Papa tells me that God is listening to us."
"Well whatever his name isn't replaying- replying to us." He
attempted the finger that Duo had taught him but only raised his pinky.
"Dag nabit, wrong finger."
"Adin, I don't think that you're suppose to learn that when
your that young." Heero told Adin.
"Funny, Duo said that I should learn it because there are
always people that annoy you Pops." Heero then gave Duo his patient
Death Glare and he shrugged nervously. Just then, there was an
explosion and the foot soldier scattered and the children were shown
a temporary shelter. Adin and the other kids watch as Heero and the
other militia soldiers rushed off into battle against the Bio Weapons.
Adin then sees a rifle by him and he quickly picks it up the rifle and
holds it over his shoulder.
"Adin, what are you doing?" Bartholomew asked Adin.
"I have no glue-clue. But I'm not just going to sit here and
watch Pops and others get killed. It's kill or be killed." Adin said
and then he felt Rosalie on his foot.
"But you'll get hurt Adin-kun."
"That'll be the waist-least of my worries and don't call me
Adin-kun and get of of my beg-leg." Then Adin rushed into battle
followed closely by Janiel, both having no clue as to what to due but
fire at the enemy. "RAAAAAA!!!!!" He was a good shot for his age and
size as he plucked one Bio Weapon after another and Heero spots the
two twins.
"Adin? Janiel? What are you doing here?" Heero asked.
"'Were here to yelp- help Pops." Then there were several
explosions off in the distance.
"This is not safe, you have to get back to the others."
"But Pops-" Adin was interrupted by an unknown soldier.
"We got them on the run. We've beat them." The soldier shouted.
"That was too easy." Heero said bluntly.
"Humph, easy my foot. Those Bio Weapons did give us a real
beating." Duo said.
"Well lets set up our base in there." Heero pointed at the mall
ruin.
"What? In there?" Heero nodded.
"It's large enough to house Mobile Suits and ammunition."
"Heero, you do realize that we don't have Mobile Suits. And
Wufei won't be able to produce even Leo Mobile suits until he can
repair the MO II construction zones and that will take weeks and we
still have no idea how to transport them here."
"Then we'll cross that bridge when we meet it." Adin puts a
hand over his eyes and scans the area.
"What bridge Pops, I don't see it?" As the soldiers assembled
into the building, the orphans were reunited again.
"Oh Adin-kun, you were wonderful." Rosalie was complicating
Adin's recent actions.
"Shut up." He then turned to Bartholomew. "I'm so sorry that
you had-have to handle this." Adin pointed at Rosalie.
"Tell me about it. Say Quatre, what do you think we're going
to do now?" Bartholomew asked.
"I don't know, I'm not a psychic." Quatre II said.
"Come on, last one is a stinking Bio Weapon." The orphans
laughed as they ran towards the ruin mall and trying to beat everyone
else from reaching it first. Adin was the first to enter the mall and
something caught his eye and he stopped in his tracks and before he
realized his mistakes, the other orphans crash into him and they formed
a pile of fallen orphans and at the very bottom was Adin. "Hey I can't
breath!" Cried the muffled voice of young Adin. Everyone who was able
to pull them selves out stood up and helped the others and all that was
left was Rosalie and Adin. "Away." Adin warned as soon as Rosalie came
too close to him.
"Why'd you stop Adin?" Noel asked. Adin simply pointed at a
store filled with odd objects. "What is that?"
"Why'd you asking me for? I'm just as buffered-baffled as you
guys are." They walked up towards the ruin store and the first thing
they saw was a ragged teddy bear with its stuffing escaping from its
stitches. "That thing looks ugly if you ask me."
"Adin, you shouldn't judge things just by their exterior looks."
Rosalie told Adin.
"Rosalie, like I said before, nobody's listening to you. And
besides, do you have an idea of what bat-wack-that thing is?" Rosalie
just shrugged. "Then it's settled then. This thing will be called Ugly
until-"
"It's a teddy bear Adin." Heero walked up to them.
"A what?" Adin asked.
"The thing is called a teddy bear, a doll used to play with by
you children before the war with the Bio Weapons."
"What kid would want to play with that ugly thing?" Adin
pointed at the ragged teddy bear.
"It didn't always looked like that Adin." Then Heero grabbed
an aging, but still intact teddy bear and handed it to Adin. "This is
what they normally looked like."
"I'd still call it Ugly." Adin said with a grotesque face as
he sized up the doll in his arms. The orphan girls began to grow an
interest towards the relic toy.
"I think it's cute." Rosalie stated.
"Rosalie, nobody's listen-" Adin was caught short by Heero
placing a hand over his mouth.
"I believe that it is rude to say that to her Adin."
"Oh and you are Pops?" Adin crossed his arms, poorly. He tried
every formation to try to get the basic shape right. "Close enough."
"Adin's got you there Heero." Duo then received a punch in the
face for that remark.
"And that proves my joint-point." And Adin tosses the teddy
bear to Rosalie. "Here, yah can keep old ugly here."
"Thank you Adin, your so kind-"
"SHUT UP!" Adin loudly grunted to her.
"And what about the rest of us brother?" Janiel asked her twin
brother.
"Hey, there's more where that came from." Adin thumb-pointed
at the store and the orphans rushed in to collect their booty. Heero
looks at Adin, expecting him to go with the other orphans. "What? What
are you looking at me like that?"
"Aren't you going to join them?"
"And what would I find interesting about a-" Adin was
interrupted by Quatre II's discovery.
"Hey, I found a rifle!"
"Hey wait! Save me one." Adin rushed into the ruin toy store.
Duo chuckled.
"And to think, those kids would be begging their parents to
take them there if the Bio Weapons didn't attacked." Adin then tripped
and fell into a bin filled with action figures.
"What are these guys?" He figured that the action figure were
actual living people and decided to free them of their plastic bondage.
"Hey guys, we got some trapped soldiers here!"
"What, where?" Hollered Anastasia.
"Right over here." The group gathered at the bin and looked at
the action figures.
"I think that their already dead." Jean Diana Winner said.
"Guess so. Might as well give them a proper burial." Bartholomew
then thought for a minute and said. "Dose anyone know what a proper
burial is?" There were several shaking of heads. "Lets ask Heero then."
The group then gathered at where Heero was standing and he had seen what
they were looking at.
"Kids, their just toys." Heero flatly said. The orphans did a
double take and then they realized that the soldiers were toys.
"Oh." The orphans said in union.
And then Adin woke up. "That was pleasant." Was the first thing Adin
said after waking up. Several members began to chuckle at this memory.
"What?"
"You were cute when you were younger." Hilde and Dorothy said.
"Huh? What's so cute about me?" Adin asked.
"Your funny lip." Hilde said.
"Don't remind me." Then he looked at Heero. "I still can't
believe that Stone Cold Heero Yuy here is actually my father. No
offence."
"None taken." Heero flatly replied.
"Right, and Miss Cheery Pacifist Airhead is my mother."
"Adin, you shouldn't call me, your own mother that." Relena
scolded him.
"Look, I have learned from my experiences that there are just
some facts that should be remained unknown and I was happier before,
and it seems that this is one of them."
"But Adin-" Rosalie was interrupted by Adin's next outburst.
"Shut up Rosalie, nobody's listening to you, nobody's listening
to you, nobody's listening to you, right!"
"Don't you dare speak to my daughter in that tone of voice!"
Milliardo then became defensive of his daughter.
"Hey Mills-"
"Adin, I said don't call me Mills!"
"Right, whatever Mills-"
"DON'T CALL ME MILLS!!! MY NAME IS MILLIARDO!!!" Then the two
began an argument in which a few insults and curses were thrown at each
other and were on the verge to make a fistfight when they were
controlled by headlocks. "Lucrezia, what are you doing?"
"Let me at him! Let me at him! Let me at him!"
"Shut up you bastard of a brat!"
"Oh that is it! It's now on white boy!"
"I'm going to bust your ass, you ingrate of a child!"
"Bring it on whitey! I'm right here!" It took the group several
anarchy filled minutes to try and cool the tempers of the two combatants.
The two avoided each other for the remainder of the day, not wanting to
see the other anytime soon. The Gundam pilots went to their Gundams as
they received information of a missile silo was being controlled by
unknown rebels and Adin wanted to join up, but Heero refused. "Aw come
on, I know how to pilot a Mobile Suit. Let me go with yah guys!"
"I said no Adin and that's it!"
"But, but-"
"No buts! I do not want you to get hurt."
"You, worried I'd get hurt? Come on you know me better than
that? I'm not like Uncle Duo over here."
"Hey, stop making jokes about me!" Duo called from his cockpit
waving his fist.
"Come on. You've trusted me with a Mobile Suit before-or after-
you know what I mean." Heero pondered for several seconds before-
"Right, just don't get yourself killed." Adin jumped as he raced
towards the only available Mobile Suit, a White Taurus. The Gundams
and the Taurus launched from the hangar bay and towards the missile
silo. Relena then ran into the hangar and watched as the Gundams
launched.
'Heero, Adin, please be alright.' Relena thought as she sees
the Gundams streak the sky. At the missile silo, the pilots find
themselves under fire by modified Leos and Aries. The Leo had huge
European style shields and had what seemed to be a gem at the center
of the shield, beam cannons on each shoulder, armored skirt, large
machine rifle with army knife bayonet, missile pods on its Gundam
style legs and a head shaped like that of a motorcycle helmet. The
Aries where also different for they lacked the bulky jet engines and
thick thighs of the old Aries model and were replaced by smaller jet
thrusters that were attached to its back and the legs fold into wings
in flight mode and had machine cannons on it's shoulder and internal
missiles in its wings and had beam sabers stored in its hips. Both the
Aries and Leos were painted with black and red colors.
"Whoa, where did they come from?" Duo asked as several beam
cannons fired at him.
"Those are Bio Weapon Mobile Suits." Adin eyes widen at the
sight of the Mobile Suits.
"What?" All of the pilots said in union.
"During the war, the Bio Weapons started to salvage Mobile
Suit parts and started to rebuild and modify the designs of all Mobile
Suits so they are lethal and more agile than standard mobile suits.
They can even be proven a match for a Gundam."
"Well, lets find that out." Wufei then thrusts forward and
uses his beam triton to eliminate most of the Aries in the air. Twice
that many replaced them as the Leos began a sky sweep attack with their
plasma weapons. Trowa fires all of his missiles at the Leos but most
of them survived the barrage with their energy shields and continued
their defense. Quatre and Duo made close up assaults with their blades
and sliced the Leos one by one, Heero and Adin fire their beam cannons
at the surviving Aries that fired their remaining missiles that were
easily dodged. Wufei made a huge break in the defense line and there
was a gap for the Gundams to pass through, but with difficulty with the
masses of Leos armed with beam sabers and soon enough, every mobile
suit was facing ten Leos at a time.
"This is not good. These are not good odds. You get use to it."
The pilots, minus Heero, looks at him strangely. "What?" He slices
through three Leos at once.
"Get used to it?" Duo exclaims as he slices two more Leos.
"Yah, this happens every other hour in a deep campaign." Adin
uses his special cannon to wipe out a group of Leos. The Gundam then
gain access to the silo, Quatre, Duo and Wufei kept the Bio Weapons'
Mobile Suit at bay while the remaining pilots entered the base. In
Adin's perspective, the Bio Weapons were sending full barrages against
them. To the pilot's perspective, they were simply firing warning shots
to scare off unnecessary lives. Like-
"Civilians." Heero said as he fired another round of bullets at
the Bio Weapons.
"Say what?" Adin asked his future father.
"They are shooting us as if we are nothing but civilians and
they are firing warning shots and yet we are killing them. They are
attacking at full strength only at you."
"I don't get it. Why are they trying to kill me and yet spare
your lives. They attacked us when we got to the silos."
"They were firing warning shots at us and yet we are killing
them." The pilots finally reached the main control center of the silo
base and they faced overwhelming odds of Bio Weapons and a group of
them seem to be programming the launch sequence at a current unknown
target. After several minutes of fierce fighting, the silo was taken
back and the Bio Weapons retreated. Heero went to see what their target
was and what they found made more questions then answers. "Launch time
is T-minus nine years, seven months, fourteen days, fifty-six minutes
and twenty-two seconds?"
"What kind of launch time is that? I mean, come on what are
they waiting for?" Adin asked as if expecting no answer.
"It seems that they are targeting something that would be
coming until that time."
"Yah, but what are they targeting? The quadrant points of the
'suppose' target is nothing more than space and more space. No colonies,
no shipping lines, no civilization, no nothing. Just space."
"Exempt for something that arrives periodically." Heero stated
as he turns away from the terminal.
"What a comet?" Adin questioned sarcastically.
"From the data downloaded, yes." The pilots found several
missile silos and laser cannons targeting several target areas that
seems to be the path of a comet that has an astronomically close path
to earth. A comet that seems to have never seen the light of the sun
this close, yet.
