To Look Back and Cry

By Sabersonic

Chapter 2: Awakening

Heero was brought into the Brussels Federal Hospital. After some inspections upon Heero Yuy, it was shown that he had a concussion to his brain and will be able to wake up in less then a day and he seemed to be malnutrition for at least three days.. The only other injuries were bruises and some evidence of old scars that seem to be larger than the human hand and as long as a human arm. The Preventers were then given the weapons to study, but the weapons were nothing that they'd ever seen before. The Rifle did take some type of magazine clip, but it wasn't bullets. The Bayonet attached to the rifle that was the Energy Blade, was something that could only be seen in fiction, not real life. Grenades that had explosives that couldn't be identified clearly and seemed to direct most of the explosions towards a single point for some reason. Medical Kits that had instruments that they never seen before. Wherever Heero had gone to, it was packing highly advanced technology that could only exist in the realm of science fiction.

Relena was horribly worried about Heero. She didn't know what happened to him. All that she knows was what the others had told her. The fighting with some alien and being a part of some super advanced armada. She still wanted answers, like for example why was he apart of that armada, where'd he get all of those horrific scars, why was he so light. She knew deep inside that those are questions that she do not want answered, for it would reveal to her a side of Heero that would either frighten her or make her hate him. Relena didn't want to be afraid or hate Heero, she cared for him too much to do that.

"Miss Relena?" Relena was broken from her train of thought. "Miss Relena, you've been here for the last six hours, how long do you intend to stay?"

"As long as it takes until he wakes up."

"But Miss Relena, I don't think that he'll wake up anytime soon. Maybe you should go home and rest-"

"I am staying here." The nurse merely shrugged and left. She would have to get a blanket and a pillow for the already sleepy Vice Foreign Minister.

Inside the playground of an elementary school in Brussels, many children from grades Kindergarten to 6th were playing and enjoying the last recess of the day. Just then a squad of Crongus Soldiers entered the playground and all activity stopped. Among them was a Human-looking being that was wearing some kind of living armor. The younger children instantly silenced themselves from instincts that were handed down from generation after generation. The Crongus communicated in reptilian/alien grunts, shrieks and growls. The clawed Velosoraptor-like feet tapped against the concrete ground of the playground and the children huddled against one another, frighten as to what the Crongus want.

<Quan'Quo, go take some Warriors and go to the left side of the area. Shri'Tai, take the others to the right. Vor, come with me.> The Squad then split into three teams. Their objectives were to find any UCE soldiers, capture them and interrogate them for any information regarding the 148th. Then a puppy from one of the children then runs at one of the Crongus Warriors.

"Skipper, come back!!" A girl of six called out, being held by a teacher. The puppy barked at the leader of the Crongus Squad. The Crongus Squad Leader merely picked the puppy up by the claws of its encounter suit. It observes the little creature before opening a jaw like apparatus and biting into the puppy. The poor puppy merely cries out in pain.

<Sir, we have no time for us to dine. We have Sapien Soldiers to find.> Vor, the human-being, growled.

<This is but a small appetizer, we have been without food for some time and I am merely appeasing my appetite.>

"Skipper, NOOOO!!!" Then one of the Crongus opened fired.

Heero suddenly wakes up. He was covered in cold sweat and was breathing hard. Just then, he had a premonition of something frightening and….he couldn't find the words to describe it. Heero forced himself to calm down. He finds that he was in a medical bed of some hospital. Also he was stripped of all war materials. All he had was his communicator badge that was hidden in his side. He dug into his side, blood spilling onto his fingers as he pulled out a com badge wrapped in synthetic membrane. He unwrapped the com badge and activated the hologram projector and then hacked into a computer main frame.

'Odd, who are the Preventers?' He hacked deeper into the network and found information on the Gundams. He searched for information on Wing Zero and he sees the Holographic projection of the Wing Zero. 'Funny, since when did Zero have Angel Wings?' He then scans the data on the Wing Zero. 'No transformation abilities. That should make the upgrades easier.' He then types in some data into the hologram. 'Now lets see now. The wings can be modified to have shield generators to reflect enemy fire. That forward feather could be useful as a missile pod. Then I should replace the Beam Sabers with Energy Blades and then add a conceded missile pod in the leg. Tyrolian/Atlantean lasers should service instead of the Vulcans for the time being. The new external Turbo Thrust Pods could also be useful against the Crongus Bio fighters, especially those damned Shock Trooper Bio Fighters. Now lets see about power sources.'

Heero then finds data on the Central Reactor of the Wing Zero. 'A Minovsky Reactor. That'll explain it. A Cryonite Gyro Generator is much more efficient. Bio neural circuitry would also service. And a Crystalline brain core would also help. The armor can be replaced with Crystel Gundanium. That should also service until I can return to the main fleet.' Then Heero felt a feathery touch upon the back of his hand and he gasped. Relena was sleeping next to his bed. 'Relena.' Then Relena's eyes fluttered opened and their eyes locked.

"Heero…?"

Okay, I'd have to admit that that was a short chapter. Promise that I'll do better the next time.

See yah.
