In The End
Chapter 4
New mobile suits were made in secret by scientists in the BLOOD organization. They were called Capricorns, a very improved version of the land and air models. They also had an aquatic mode. Equipped with any kind of weapon(s) that the pilot wants, this mobile suit is customized to handle any weapon. That is what makes it so dangerous to the people who fight BLOOD™
"I am goin' t' miss this apartment a lot."
"Then don't leave Melody."
"Stop whining Kamori. I have to. I'm gettin' married to Quatre and he has asked me t' move in wit' him seein' as I'm goin' to end up there anyway."
"But I'm going to be all alone in this huge apartment." Kamori pouted while crossing her slim yet muscular arms over her ample chest. "Its not fair to me." And it was true. Their whole apartment was the last floor of the building and truly very large. The elevator led right up to their doorway. Everything was large and it was practically the size of the first floor of a large house. They had everything that they might need right down to a laundry room, library/study, a large spacious kitchen that they were currently occupying, large shared bedroom, living room, bathroom and the likes. But there was a little extra that was added in by Kamori herself. The hayloft type indoor balcony in the living room that led right to an outside balcony with a fire escape had been built specially for Kamori's purposes; and her animals purposes. Her light green eyes got large and watery.
"Oh don' you dare try t' change my mind wit' 'the eyes'. I am goin' t' live wit' Quatre. Maybe one of the'others will move in wit' you and share all this space. Either tha' or you can go out and get more pets." Melody said tying her shoulder length orange hair up into a pony tail as she leaned over the stove. "And you have t' remember that we will always see each othe' once in a while. We are fighting against the BLOOD organization together. Then there is also th' fact tha' we are best friends." Melody said waving the spatula at Kamori.
"But Meeelllooodddyyyyy…" Kamori whined. Melody's cerulean blue eyes hardened into a glare.
"NO. Now stop whinin' and concentrate on that food before it burns. I'm not giving you cooking lessons to hear the food sizzle to a crisp." Melody said flipping the meat for the burger. Kamori made a face and continued to pout.
"I'm not bad at cooking." Kamori mumbled. Melody stirred the stew.
"Yes you are. You could burn water withou' trying. Now roll up your sleeves before you get anythin' on them or they get in th' way." She continued to stir the stew and flip the burgers. Kamori glared at her friend before rolling her black pull over sleeves up.
She was clad in cut off short shorts, a dark purple tank top, black army boots, and of course her black pull over that had 'Gundam Nightmare' running down the sleeves and Nightmares Angel printed on the back with a dark purple heart that was ripped with black metallic wings. The door bell buzzed over the intercom.
"I'll get it. You continue t' cook this and please, please don't feed Nightstalker any of th' food." Melody said slipping her apron with little fishes on it over her head and off of her red pull over with Gundam Oceansiren running down the sides like Kamori's but on the back it had Siren of the Sea with a teardrop with fish-like wings crossed in front of it. She smoothed out her plaid red skirt as she got to the door. Kamori looked down at the black Siberian tiger that was laying on the kitchen door before flipping him a burger patty.
"Here you go Nightstalker." Kamori winked at the tiger before cringing as Melody's angry voice floated into the kitchen.
"Kamori! Wha' did I just tell you?!"
"Hehehe." Kamori sweatdropped and she scratched the back of her head nervously.
*********
Melody opened the door to come face to face with Quatre and a tall green eyed brunette.
"Hi Quatre! Welcome, why don' you come in. Sit on the couch or hav' a snack. I'm almost done here."
"Okay." He and the brunette walked into the living room. Politely, Quatre smiled and slipped off his jacket. The brunette did the same but it wasn't much of a smile. The blond gestured to him. "This is my friend Trowa. I brought him along because he just happen to be stopping by and I wanted to spend time with him but I also wanted to see you so I kinda brought him with me. Hope that's ok."
"Oh it's fine."
"Smells nice in here. What are you doing?"
"I'm givin' cookin' lessons t' my roommate so she won' starve t' death if I'm no' here."
"Oh?"
Melody giggled and showed them to the couch.
In the kitchen Kamori peeked out and looked at Quatre. He looks like a wuss. He will never be able to fill her needs besides that fact that he's rich. He can't protect her and even worse he could be a total snob! She gave him a disapproving look while he was busy talking casually to Melody and puffed up her cheeks angrily, fixing him with a glare. She bent down in front of Nightstalker, took his head in her hands, pressed her forehead against his furry one and shook it a few times.
"See blonde out there?"
//yes//
"He is trying to take Melody away from us."
//oh really?//
"Yes and we can't let that happen. So I want you to sick 'em." Kamori said pointing to the living room.
//alright// Nightstalker dashing from the kitchen and ran into the living room. He pounced on the unsuspecting blond. Quatre let out a yelp of surprise as he tumbled off the couch and onto the floor with the not even full grown 250 lb black Siberian tiger. //yummy… blond always tasted the best or was that wuss? Doesn't matter now// Nightstalker ripped at the sleeve of Quatre's shirt and with jerking motions of his furry black head the sound of ripping cloth floated into Kamori's ears causing her to giggle furiously. She began to hum as she cooked the food.
Melody's tan face turned several shades of red and two shades of purple and she clenched her teeth. Glaring down at the large animal that currently had Quatre pinned to the floor she turned around to kitchen and willed the door to burst into flames. And that was exactly what happened, weather it was accidental or on purpose, the door burst into flames and Kamori came running out with her hands thrown above her head yelling.
The red head took a flying leap and landed as a huddling ball in Trowa's lap on the couch, mumbling incoherently. The brunette took on a look of mild surprise as he was rammed slightly into the back of the soft black couch.
The Australian girl stared wide eyed at the 'door', wondering if that had been her fault. Sure she had been known to sometimes have power surges, but never before had a door burst into flames. Suddenly the silhouette of a woman could be seen through the flames in the doorway.
The shadow figure moved closer and the flames died down. She walked through, revealing long pale blond hair down to waist with parted bangs, golden yellow eyes, and strange enough, an upside down crescent moon that looked like it had been scared into her head just below her hairline. She smiled slightly but it didn't reach her eyes because her eyes had the same quality as Heero's, emotionless and trained to be strong; a soldier's eyes.
Her knee high healed boots clicked with each step she took on the floor as she approached them. She was wearing a short black dress that was down to the thighs, the mentioned black knee high healed boots, and a long British looking red coat that went down to a little past her knee.
"Morgaine?" Melody asked staring at the 19 year old woman in shock. The Australian girl blinked a few times. The blond woman turned to Melody at the sound of her name and nodded. "Wha' are you doing here?"
"I thought I heard someone say that you were moving into some rich guys house and marrying him. I thought I'd come and change your mind."
"Why does everyone wan' t' change my mind, I am goin' wit' Quatre." Melody threw her hands into the air. She turned toward the coach, away from Morgaine, and looked at the huddling mass in Trowa's lap. "Kamori, get outa Trowa's lap."
Kamori's head popped out of the brunette's lap. Blink. "Huh?" The Irish girl's eyes went from the Australian to the British young woman. "Morgaine?" Morgaine rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Yes, now get outa Trowa's lap." Melody said with her hands on her hips. Kamori shook her head no. Melody looked wide eyed at Kamori. "An' why not?"
"It's comfy. Don't want to get off." Melody glared. She brought an image of herself strangling the red head in her mind and sent it to Kamori. The red head's eyes widened and she hopped off of Trowa. "Never mind I'm off and ready to work." Kamori said flexing her arms and marching off to the kitchen, swinging a frying pan that, seemingly, appeared out of no where.
"Good girl." Melody smiled. Morgaine rolled her eyes again.
"When are you leaving, Mel?" Morgaine asked.
"Tonight or earlier, if Quatre wan's."
"What about what you want?"
"I don't care, there's not much t' move and I think Kamori has gotten the hang of cookin' her own food and not burnin' it."
"HEY! I heard that!"
"Good for you, now continue Melody."
"Thank's Morgaine. As I was saying I'm pretty much done here. If Quatre wan's t' bring me earlier than that's ok wit' me."
"I think I should just bring Kamori with me anyway. You don't want to come back to your old apartment and find it burnt down?"
"No one has any faith in me." Kamori said from the kitchen.
"It's not that we don't have faith in you, it's just that we don't trust you in a kitchen."
"Oh thanks that makes me feel so much better."
"Shut up Kamori. We'll go to the big mansion in England and you can bring Nightstalker and other animals with you."
"Really?"
"Yes, Really."
"Now tha' that's all settled can I go wit' Quatre?" Melody asked
"Yes." Morgaine said.
"NO." Kamori said. They looked at each other.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"NO." Kamori crossed her arms and stamped her foot. Morgaine nodded at Melody and Melody created and sent Kamori a picture of Morgaine burning her alive. Kamori gulped.
"Fine. You can go…leave me alone…I'll die by myself…with no friends." Kamori gave Melody the large watery, sad 'look'.
"Kamori have you forgotten that your coming home with me now?"
"Oh yeah! But still, I'll never see Melody again because she'll be too busy…"
"Kamori don't you even say tha'! Or I really will strangle you!" Melody said glaring, the picture of the Australian strangling her popping into her head again. Morgaine snickered. Kamori turned to the wall away from them and glared at it.
"Everyone is so mean to me."
"Kamori we have to go now. Get you animals and say good bye to everyone." Morgaine said. Kamori pouted but left with Nightstalker to get any other animals she wanted to bring. She climbed up the ladder that led to her personal space and disappeared from sight. Morgaine nodded to Melody.
"Have fun at Quatre's. Don't tire him out too much." Color flooded Melody's cheek's.
"Everyone just shut up wit' that kind of talk!" Morgaine snickered again.
********
Kamori stroked the falcons breast lovingly.
"I want you to watch Melody for me and if anything happens come tell me. Alright, Flash."
//Yes of course. I will alert you of any and all danger to miss Melody//
"Good boy. If you do a good job, Silver will be waiting with me at the mansion. You and her can go out and 'fly'." The falcon bobbed its head and made a small sound of happiness. The red head smiled and walked onto the balcony. She lifted her arm with the perched Flash and held it to the sky. The falcon took off with a swift flap and a small cry. The Irish girl waved good-bye and then sent out a silent cry. No more than five minute's later did a large red tailed hawk swoop down with it's large wing span and perch on the railing, folding its wings to fit.
//You called, hatchling?// A female voice echoed in Kamori's head.
"Yes I did. I was wondering it you or one of the others could watch this apartment for me while I'm gone. I don't want anyone coming in and taking anything. My friend and I have many things that can't go into the hands of my enemies."
//Where do you go, Redfeathers?//
"To Morgaine's nest."
//I will come with you and your brother and sister hatchlings will stay and guard your high nest.//
"Why do you want to come with me, Sky?" A chuckle came inside her head and a pair of old and wise eyes looked happily at her.
//Because I have been with you since you were a small hatchling, barely able to fly or was that walk for you human fledglings? But anyway, I took you in when your parents left you alone at your nest. You became my little hatchling and I am always, till the day I can no longer fly, going protect you and be by you. Why else?// The large red tailed hawk tilted her head to the side. Kamori sighed.
"Yeah I remember. You became my mother and always fed me when I couldn't get food on my own. You protected me when those nice men who took me in weren't there."
//Yes. Now when do we leave?//
"Come, well go now. Morgaine is here." Kamori said as she put on a leather glove that went up to almost her elbow and strapped it on. She reached out with that arm and the large talons on the hawk's feet hooked themselves on it. The red head smiled and gently patted Sky.
She climbed back down with her one arm and walked toward the others. Quatre was staring at the big hawk in wonder and his friend with the one eye looked slightly surprised to see such a large bird. Kamori smiled.
"I have everything I want to bring." She looked down at the black tiger that had placed itself by her side. He wined, looking up at her with large blue eyes. "Yeah I know. How could I forget you, yah lunk head?" Nightstalker looked indignant for a moment. She patted his head. "Don't worry, I wouldn't leave you."
"You ready?" Morgaine asked impatiently. Kamori nodded. Melody grabbed her bags and walked over to Quatre and Trowa. They both got up and Quatre, being a gentleman, took one of her bags.
"Melody I'll see you and have fun at Quatre's mansion. Don't get lost. Always bring an experienced guide and I'll see you sometime. I'm just going to clean up before I leave." Kamori said walking them to the door and opening it for them. Melody gave her a playful glare but smiled.
"Don't get into too much trouble while I'm gone and no burning anything." The Australian shot back. Kamori stuck her tongue out at Melody as the elevator doors closed and humphed before going back to Morgaine. She cleaned up quickly and Morgaine opened another fire portal-the English mansion Morgaine owned was on the other side.
*************
The mansion was old and ivy covered but was strong and had lasted over many centuries. Kamori still thought that there were ghosts somewhere in there.
Morgaine opened the large front door and they stepped inside. The red head still had the hawk perched on her arm and the tiger at her side. She looked toward the clear sky and raised her fist. Sky took off with a might cry and flew, spreading her large wings. She circled the house and then disappeared behind it. Nightstalker looked up at her.
//May I go off? I want to sniff around and check the place out.//
"Go ahead Night., do what you wish I'll be around." The tiger nodded and ran off through the woods. Kamori smiled and looked back at Morgaine.
"Shall we go in Miss McHawkings?" Morgaine teased, slipping into her not so forgotten British accent. Kamori made a sour face.
**************
(later; at night)
Melody lay happily in Quatre's bed, the sheet pulled up to cover her nude form. She smiled and snuggled closer to Quatre who was currently asleep. Ok so it was a little quick for two people who hardly knew each other to hop in the sack like this but you know…things just happen. More of those things came from Melody of course. A little sweet talking on both of our parts, a romantic dinner, a movie, and bang, there we were eating each others faces. Um cough cough. Not going into that much but it had been fun. So what if she had proven her friends right, she couldn't help it. He was just too cute and gentleman like. What else could she want?
Quatre sighed happily and wrapped his arms around her, pulling them closer together. Melody smiled wickedly. She could take advantage of this situation easily but she didn't know if Quatre would be able to stay awake. He had seemed pretty tired after they had finished.
Her smiled widened. He didn't have to be awake to do things. She pulled her body up his till her face was level with his sleeping one. She mentally cooed.
The blond had a gentle happy smile on his face and he looked so adorable. She lowered her head to kiss him when she heard something. Her head snapped up and she looked to the window.
"What was that?" She whispered. It came again. It sounded like footsteps. Maybe one of the guards was passing by but… she checked the time: 10:32. The guards had been off duty for the last half hour and two minutes and the night shift didn't start until 11:00. And it sounded like it was coming from outside. If any guards were still left then they would be inside getting ready to change with the night shift.
Melody swung her legs over the side of the bed, clutching one of the sheets that covered her. She wrapped the thin white cloth around her nude form and padded her way over to the glass doors that led to the balcony outside. She twisted the handle on the door and as she opened it a large gust of air blew the curtains up. She also nearly fell back in surprise.
A large mobile suit stood at the side of the house in front of the bedrooms balcony. It was a Capricorn equipped with a MS machine gun.
"Oye crap. I didn't kno' tha' the Capricorn model was complete." She mumbled staring up at it. A sudden realization came over her and she ducked back into the room before it noticed her or any of the BLOOD soldiers running around the yard saw her. She closed the balcony door silently but efficiently. Luckily none of the soldiers had seen her. She rushed across the room and practically flung herself into the large walk-in closet that had been separated between herself and Quatre. She pulled out panties and a bra, then a pair of black caprices and a dark red halter top. She grabbed a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and boxers for Quatre. She would be damned if she left Quatre behind if these people were here to attack. Quatre could become a hostage to get her to surrender.
************
The Irish red head slipped the high heeled ankle boot on and looked at herself in the mirror. Brushing through her hair she went to some make up. A dab of sexy looking lipstick and some eye products, she smoothed down her black skirt that had 'slut' written all over it in different fonts and in either red or white. The finishing touch was the black mesh shirt that went over her red bra, the mesh ripped in some places to give her a deadly and tough look. She modeled herself in front of the mirror, looking in every position. Perfect.
"So Morgaine…where is this club? I didn't even know that England had pubs and taverns or clubs." Kamori said over her shoulder to the British blond who was also getting ready. The blond was just fixing her short black skirt with 'goddess' written all over it in gold and white and her red corset tube top with black leather string. She had a little bit of red eye shadow and some lip gloss, her knee high black boots from before on. The blond turned to her.
"There are a lot of things about England you don't know and yes there are clubs." She nodded. Kamori smiled and nodded as well.
"Sure. You ready?" She turned to Morgaine. Morgaine turned to her and nodded. "Good. Then how do you think I look? Too sexy?"
Morgaine shook her head. "No it is another unknown fact to the people outside of Britain that British men are perverts especially the ones found in clubs. They love cute, sexy little red heads like you. Other countries don't know that."
Kamori's mouth formed an 'O' shape and then into a big smile. "Fun."
"Yeah, you'll love it."
"Good I hope so."
They were about to head out to the club when screeching from the window alerted them of something. Kamori turned and gasped out, "Flash!" She immediately rushed to the window and threw it open, nearly tearing it out of its frame. The falcon dove in and landed on the night stand in a crash landing. The bird of prey choked out a few urgent shrieks and then bobbed its head nervously. "What is it boy."
The falcons head snapped up and it shrieked. //Kamori! Melody is in danger//
"In danger from what?" The red head asked urgently.
//Many enemy warriors come to hurt her and her golden mate//
"Quatre's in trouble too? Crap! Morgaine change of plans. We have to get to Melody before BLOOD does."
"Why? What's wrong, is Melody in trouble?"
"Yes. We have to go. You'll just have to show me the club later." Kamori looked back to the falcon, who was practically shaking. "Was there any large machines there?"
//There wasn't any when I left but some could have arrived.//
"Alright. Morgaine get the gundams ready. We are gonna save our Australian friend."
