Operation: Sparing Match

20 minutes after they got back to the castle, a servant knocked on the door of Relena's room, which all the girls were currently in. Akima answered the door.

"Is miss Peacecraft ready to give her speech?" asked the man with a worried voice.

"Oh no! I total forgot about the speech!" Relena yelled in a panic from behind Akima.

"She'll be right there." Akima said sweetly to the man then closed the door in a hurry.

After a rush to get her dressed, Relena went in front of the crowd that had gathered in the main hall. She was wearing a plain knee-high white dress with her hair in a ponytail with a white hair tie. Every one was a little worried about Quatre who had taken on a slight pale coloring to his features. Relena was also pale and Herro was a little worried, but Duo said she was probably just scared, or had been in a rush. About half way through the speech Relena abruptly stopped, looked around, and then ran out of eyeshot of the crowd. The next minute a young woman walked out on the floor. She was in a purple skintight skirt that stopped short of her knees. She had her hair in one braid down her back and she was wearing a purple short sleeve v-neck T-shirt. It took a minute for Herro to realize that it was Akima, it took even longer for the others to realize it too.

"Whoa! Is that Akima?" Asked Quatre.

"I don't know. Is it? She looks cute enough to be," said Duo, then he got an elbow in the ribs from Hilde, who smiled sweetly.

Akima walked up to the microphone and started to talk. "Miss Peacecraft is a little um... under the weather, I will finish her speech. She hopes that you are not too disappointed in her not being able to finish," She picked up the notes Relena had been using and started from were Relena had abruptly stopped.

By then end of the speech, no one was even the least bit disappointed.

"Akima is a great speaker, so don't worry, they won't be mad at you" Hilde was saying to a sick Relena as Herro and the other guys interred the room.

"How is she?" asked Quatre.

"I'm sorry," said Akima as she to walked into the room, "I never tried it on anyone but my older brother" she said as she sat down next to Relena.

"What are you talking about" asked Wufie.

"You guys won't have remembered it, but when you guys got drunk last night, I gave you some of the hangover cure I used when my brother got drunk. Your body must have been too weak to hold it Relena. I'm sorry. I didn't know that was going to happen" Akima said, her eyes downcast

"Older brother? What older brother?" thought Trowa.

"That's okay Akima. I just won't do that again, will I Hilde?" Relena said to a worried Hilde.

"We haven't been sick though. So I guess we can hold our liquids. Hey Quatre?" Said Duo as he hit the pale Quatre on the back. That turned into a bad idea when Quatre started to gag, eventually letting lose into the garbage can Relena had been using.

"Guess not," said Duo, his eyes laughing. "Well, at least we can trust Akima, huh?"

Akima looked at the ground, and Herro put a hand on her shoulder. She just looked at him and smiled. "That enough." Akima said suddenly, taking charge of the group "You guys go rest up. I'll take care of them for now. Would you get Sally in here." Every one looked at her in surprise; she had sounded just like Herro, but they complied, leaving the girl to take care of their two friends.

Later that month

It was about a month after Akima's first day on the base. She fit in really good. She seemed to make quick friends with almost everyone she met. Her close friendship with Herro made Relena a little jealous, but when Relena thought about it, she thought herself to be rather silly.

"Herro is 20 years old, and Akima couldn't be over 15 or 16, so why should I be worried" was what she told herself when ever she saw them together, but that didn't really help. They were either talking or joking around or working on some spare part. Every week the five-gundam pilots would take an hour or two to train themselves and Akima usually went to watch. The guys would be in the weight room or hand to hand fighting each other in the base gym.

Sense Akima decide to watch one week, Relena took some time off to join her. When Relena couldn't find her she decided to go on ahead. Relena was opening the door to the gym when she heard hard breathing and some scattered cheering. "Someone must be sparing." she thought "Wonder who it is?"

Just then she heard a voice call out tauntingly: "Your getting slow!" Relena walked into the gym and saw two people sparing in the ring. The ring was in the middle of the gym, and could be clearly seen from any of the 3 entrances. Relena looked around the gym and saw about 2 dozen other people watching the two fighters. One was about 6'2 in height and the other was about 5'5. The 6'2 one was in a red sparring uniform, and the 5'5 was in a blue uniform. Red seemed to be having a hard time hitting Blue. Blue was smaller, but was much faster. Red punched several times and missed all but once. The one punch hit Blue in the side of the head. Blue staggered, but recovered fast, rebounding with a punch to the lower belly. Blue hit Red hard and fast, too fast to block. Red fell backward in the ropes, but Blue stayed still, waiting for Red to recover.

" Come on Herro, you're better then that" a familiar voice yelled to Red. Red was a very winded Herro. Who Blue was Relena didn't know. She walked closer to see Blue's face, but couldn't see through the arms held in front of the persons head to protect it from the numerous punches thrown from Herro "Hey Relena over here" yelled the voice again. Relena looked to see Duo, Trowa, and Wufie sitting on a bench to the right of her side of the ring. Duo waved at her to come sit with them. She walked over to them and sat down in-between Duo and Trowa

" What's going on? Who's fighting Herro" Relena asked, but Duo never got the chance to answer her, for just then, Herro dropped to the floor, spun around on his hands, tripping Blue. Blue hit the floor backwards, and tried to get up, but Herro was on Blue in a second, pinning Blue to the floor.

" One!" Blue tried to get up again but failed "Two!" Herro smiled triumphantly "Three!" Duo said, "Herro wins!" Herro got up, and held down a hand for Blue. Blue took it and stood up.

Blue spoke with amused anger in the voice, a hand on the left hip "That was no fair. There wasn't anything in the rules that said you could trip me" Blue took off the sparring helmet. It was Akima. She was sweating, and had an angry look on her face.

"Yea, but there wasn't anything that said he couldn't either." Duo told on the petite girl.

She looked at Duo with a smile "If I'd known that, I would've tripped him the first round." She winked at him, then turned to Herro, who was panting slightly. "Now, now Herro." The girl said a small smile on her face "You shouldn't be winded after only a ten-minute fight; you should want more. You've gotten soft and you know it." Akima whispered the last line to Herro, but Relena was close enough to hear her.

Herro look angry at first, but when he meet eyes with the girl, her face stern, his face got softer. "You're right," he whispered back. He took off his helmet

"Your pretty good Akima," Duo said into the awkward silence "You may even be as good as me. That's for sure" he started to laugh, a hand behind his head.

" You do realize that's not hard to accomplish, right Maxwell?" Wufei threw into the air.

" Oww." Duo looked hurt "Oh, come on Wu-man, that was harsh and un-called for!" But he was laughing even harder now.

" Don't call me 'Wu-man' weakling," Wufei shot at Duo. Duo stopped laughing.

"Only if you don't call me 'weakling', Wu-man" Duo said, and when Wufei let out an exasperated sigh, Duo started laughing again, Relena joining him this time.

"You've gotten better Akima." Herro said to Akima, ignoring Duo and Wufei "You've been training?" Duo and Relena stopped laughing. Then all four friends looked from Herro and Akima, to eachother with confused looks.

" You mean," Trowa asked pointing from Herro to Akima, "you two have sparred before?"

Herro and Akima exchanged a look, and then Akima opened her mouth to say something. She never even got to say a word for Hilde came skidding through the doors to the right.

"Relena, guys, I think you should see this!" She panted. "Come with me quickly!" She grasped Duo's arm and started to run back through the doors

"Whoa, whoa, Hilde-babe! What's up?" Duo asked his wife-to-be

"We just got a distress transmission from a space colony. Come on!" Hilde was now pulling Duo out the door. The others had just walked up beside him, and Duo was still fighting, refusing to budge till he knew what was going on.

" Hilde, what's got you so excited about that. It just a space colony." Trowa said, "We get distress transmissions all the time."

Akima and Herro were now climbing out of the ring through the ropes. "Yeah, yeah," Hilde said waving her hand impatiently, "but this colony is different: it has no weapons to defend itself, and neither Quatre nor Zechs has heard of it before. Its like, no one even knew it excised." Akima slipped. Hilde and the others turned at the sound of her hitting the floor with a grunt of pain.

Akima got up quick, ignoring the laughter of some of the men, a look of fear on her face, " Not known of? What's the name of the colony, and what's wrong?!" Akima walked over to Hilde. Hilde looked confused but started to talk anyway.

" Well, it's being attacked by some very strong unknown force. And I think they call the colony 11237, or the Trill colony. They just... Hey!" Akima pushed past Hilde running at full speed out the doors before Herro could grab her.

" Damn." Herro swore then ran after her. Again, the others could just looked at eachother in confusion.

*Jamie* So? Will Herro be able to stop the enraged Akima? Of course... he's Herro isn't he?

Isn't he?
