Ch. 14- Assassins' Duel

A arched eyebrow rose as an instant message popped up on the person's screen.

~ Assassin01... who the hell is this person?~ he wondered. No one except Doctor J and his fellow pilots had this screen name. He decided to hack into this person's files. However, you had to talk to the person to get a connection before you could hack into their files.

Heero sighed as he responded with a simple hello and quickly typed in a code in the script of the program but when he clicked on the person's hard drive, it closed automatically and a small girl in an assassin outfit came out and sliced the screen. Luckily, Heero had some very advanced anti-virus programs and the computer blinked out for a second and came back on with everything back to normal.

Yet, the instant message was still there and the person replied,

~ Nice try Perfect Soldier... don't try hacking into my hard drive next time.~

~ Who are you and who do you work for?~ he typed.

~ I'm the perfect assassin and I work for someone. If I told you, I'd have to kill you.~

Heero smirked as he realized the person was serious. He thought maybe it could be one of those girl pilots and responded,

~ I assume you know who I am, assassin.~

~ Yes Heero Yuy, so what?~ she replied.

~ Let's have a duel... tonight in the Sanc mountains.~

~ Fine, like I care if you die.~

Hana smirked as she knew that she would be able to show the infamous Heero Yuy who's better, once and for all. She then said good-bye and signed off. She prepared for the duel right away, seeing that she would have to make sure he can't tell who she is and that he can't put a tracking device on Shadow Blaze.

Heero signed off when Assassin01 did and he briskly walked to the hanger where he could check up on Wing Zero and make sure everything's ready. He wondered if she would bring her reinforcements, he wouldn't, but you could never trust anyone. Yet, while he reached the hanger and the large metal door opened, he wasn't as lonely anymore.

Hana came up to her gundam and sighed as she basked in it's deadly beauty. It had a pair of beautiful pearl white angel wings and had a combination of red, blue, yellow, green, silver, gold, and white. It's shoulders had armor that curved down at the shoulders and then outward up. The color of that was a flaming red lined with gold.

The armor around the feminine waist had two navy blue slanted sheets that went to the sides and were lined with a goldenrod yellow stripe, and another wide white one that went to the knees in the middle which was outlined in gold. The less harsh-looking eyes were a bright green, along with the laser kendo stick that was in Shadow Blaze's hand. The feet were a glimmering silver and reflected Hana's reflection as she touched the cool surface.

Hana had tied her hair up in a tight high ponytail and wore her traditional pilot garb of a black skort that went a couple inches past the middle of her thighs and a loose white tank top over her black sports bra. She plucked at the shirt as she wondered again why the doctors gave her an outfit like this to wear during fighting but she shook her head briefly and jumped into the gundam for a little test run. The hanger slowly opened and Hana willed her gundam's wings to shield itself from passer-bys.

She went to the mountains early and put her kendo stick in front of her, the length of it clearly as tall as the gundam. Hana begins to spin it and it creates a circle of green light that began to disintegrate the dry grass around her. She then stops spinning it and pulls out her Twin Buster rifle that was actually modeled after Heero's and turns around, aiming it at Wing Zero who was in front of her.

"You're here early." Hana bluntly said.

"I was planning to train for a while. Unfortunately, you're already here." Heero said in a monotone.

"Hn. Want to start the duel early then?" she asked.

"Fine." Heero said as he pulled out his light saber.

Hana put away her Twin Buster rifle and took out her laser kendo stick. She pointed it at Heero, making sure that he wouldn't try anything tricky. He then rushed at her with great speed and attempted a slash at her but fortunately for her, she dodged it.

Heero glared at the gundam in front of him. The girl inside was good and he could just tell by how she smoothly dodged his swipe. She then spun her kendo stick and created a hypnotizing green sphere. She then pulled back her stick and pushed the sphere forward, making it go at Heero. He pulled out his light saber and cut through it, making the sphere disappear.

He then took out his Twin Beam Rifle and so did Hana. They aimed it at each other with 100% accuracy. He fired it at the same time as Hana and the two blasts met each other, making a huge explosion.

Hana gritted her teeth so she wouldn't fall back, she felt each flame that licked ShadowBlaze's body along with each boulder that hit her. Cuts of blood appeared on her arms and legs but she didn't notice them. All she concentrated was winning because winning was everything.

Heero's prussian blue eyes narrowed as he forced Wing Zero's arms to continue holding the rifle. The strain was going to hurt him and it was already beginning. His muscles tightened from the effort and bruises formed on his hands from holding the grips too hard. Through all that, he wouldn't give up... he couldn't.

Suddenly, the explosion evaporated and the two mobile suits stood there. The silence was deafening and a pin drop could be heard. Then, both cockpit doors opened and out fell two unconscious bodies.

Gomen again that it took me so long to get out this chapter! Hopefully, i'll have enough time to get out the next one before december!!! arigatou minna-san and Ja Ne!
