*Knock~~Knock~~* Jonathan stood outside the door of
the hotel room. He had finaly gotten the courage to go and hopefully give the
information that zechs had wanted to him. 'He'll be happy that I found it I
hope, but I dont think he'll be happy with what I found' his thoughts were
interupted when he heard a creak on the other side of the door like the sound of
someone moving around in the room 'I cant believ I'm doing this' He was almost
excited even though he was so nervouse that his hands were shaking. 'Am I finaly
being accepted into your world zechs' just then the deep voice of a man called
from the other side of the door "Come in jonathan, if its the information that
you have" The young man took a deep breath in and gripped the files in his hand
tighter befor slowly turning the handle of the door and pushing it open
slightly. "Well are you accualy coming in or are you going to stand peaking in
to the door to give me the information with everyone else in the building so
they can hear you?" Jonathan felt suddenly nervouse again "Uhh yea I'v got all
the info you wanted" he opened the door completetly and took a few steps in
untill he saw zechs in the other room. "Hi sir.." his words trailed off when he
saw zechs sitting in the corner loking at old newspaper clippings, he didnt look
like he had had any sleep at all his hair fell neatly over his shoulders and
almost cascaded to the floor as he sat haunched over like a child in mourning he
held a glss of alcohol prbably and his eyes were fixed on one picture in the
paper that he held in his hand "sir?" the young officer asked again, "Quit
calling me sir!" zech's strong voice commanded "It is improper for a dead man
with no name to be called sir," he still looked at the picture. Jonathan stood
toying with the end of his coat "umm what are you looking at?" his words seamed
to float among the room that was so empty it felt as if it were a dead mans room
the walls were a stained off white and the floors were a yellowed wood, which
although the day was sunny, the room had a sunny lonely feel about it alone.
zechs's eyes shifted up to theyoung man which stood almost cowering on the other
side of the room "Jonathan remember that whatever you do with your life, it wil
haunt you for as long as you do live and beyond," zechs ran a hand thru his hair
to pull it back away from his face "Are you going to stand there like a crying
puppy and make me fel even worse than I do or are you going to act like a man
and a fellow soldier and come and give me the information. Jonathan shifted his
weight to another foot and then slid his hand along the wal trying to think of
something fitting to say to this man "I dont know how to make you feel better
about you past, but zechs I'm your friend not your enemy!" he stopped short when
zechs interupted "I have no friends, trieze claimed to be my friend befor he
turned on me, I have no enemy's either for everyone will fall in battle 'gainst
me I am alone I will not continue to search for myself in fact I will only try
to rid the world of any reminders of my past" he stopped and looked at jonathan
"I'm sorry,,,,thank you for trying, but I guess I'm getting ornery befor my
time" a chuckle came from his mouth and jonathans eyes sparkled 'wow I cant
believe it he just cracked a joke to me, wow to see him accualy smile is
wonderful' jonathan finaly moved over and sat on the floor next to zechs "Well
what would you like first the bad news or the worse news?" zechs looked at the
papers in jonathans hand "Accualy why dont you have a drink with me first" he
nodded towards the glass he held and pushied it in jonathans direction "Wont
you?" jonathan tentatively reached for the glass that he held out "Well boy I
wont bite, although I may shoot you, I never bite" jonathan wrapped his arms
around himself and laughed aloud through the laughter his took the glass and
took a strong swalow, which stopped him in his tracks "Whoa.." it was zechs turn
to laugh that time "Well I can see you havent had much practice in drinking like
a man, We'll have to fix that!!! alright give me the bad news first I guess,
it's all the same to me...
"Is this the preventers headquarters...fancy
huh?" Jade looked at her sister who was catching up to her "yea thats it they
have alot more backing here in the colonys than what people like on earth thats
why we've been sent here to train" kira had to catch her breath "I'm still
trying to get used to this air here , the atmosphere on the colony is quite
diferent, they have recycled air here" Jade laughed at her sister, "common now
you've had as much and more training than I have dont tell me youre loosing your
strength just with a change in air, now If we had ben around when the gundam
piolets were active you wouldnt have lasted a day in battle now the gundam
piolets they sure wers omething in fact..." She was stopped short when Kira
covered her mouth, "Yes I know about you wanting to become a gundam piolet if
you could and thinking how great the piolets were and what they did to acjieve
what we had and yadda yadda yadda ect. ect. ect. dont get me wrong jade but we
are on a mission of our own think of it we are going to be trained by noin one
of the greates tpiolets right up under the gundams in fact she knew them" jade
looked up at kira "What?! she knew the gundam piolets????" Kira opened the door
to the preventers building adn walked in followed by jade "I thought with all
the reserch that you've done on those dang piolets of yours that you would know
that they faught along side noin and sally and others in the final battle of ac
195 and noin was working with them and zechs merquise at the time that
Mariemaih's forces attached the earthsphere a year ago so we will be trained by
one of teh greates t piolets right next to zechs merquise and the piolets of the
gundams, if it matters any to you~" she finished in a sass of a tone. jade stood
looking at a plaque on the wall entitled 'wind, water, ice we are endebted
forever' and it showed a picture of the battle with mariemaihs forces "Well dont
try to make it sound like you dont care about learning form someone like that, I
know you like the gundam piolets mor ethaj you make it out to sound, and anyway
who is zechs merquise" Kira signed their name son a form that was in the
entryway where a woman in uniform was standing "You girls can wait in the hanger
noin and her crew will be back from theyre mission shortly" the woman saluted
the young girls as she walked back into an office "Jade, dont get me wrong, yes
of course I love eveything about the gundam piolets and what they did for us, I
just dont think that even they brought about a great fate for those of us that
were civilians at the time but thats why I want to train to be a preventer and
become a soldier in the fight against war and help make for a better future, and
thats why we have to stick together, thin of this if you would, you want to be
so much like those piolets, well" she turned and put her hand son her younger
sisters shoulders "We are already exactly like them, we are without a true name
of what we know and we are alone in this battle trained thru our lives to be
fighters whether in the fight of life or in wars and we are strong in fighting
for one purpose, and that is a hope for a better future. those piolets never
knew exactly what they were getting themselves into and niether do we we have a
goal set in our own hearts and we will work for it the same as theydid, you get
what i mean jade?" she loked at her sisters eyes which were begining to tear up
"yea kira, yea I think I get it" she pulled away from her sisters grasp "I wish
we knew more about our past" and then the tears came kira reached out and pulled
her sister to her in an embrace "It's alright, we'll find out more as we
go...right? man your such a young woman now sis, I feel bad calling you my
little sister anymore it sounds so imature for you especialy since were both
going to be preventers right?" Jade wiped her face "Yeah and its also imature
for me to be crying like this" Kira stopped her "No Jade its never bad to cry
never believ anyone if they tell you differently, in fact it will only make you
a stronger person in the end esspecialy if you dont drown i 9your own sorrows
and try to make changes for the better thats all you have to do and if you only
try you'll become a stronger person ok?" jade looked up at her sister "Ok!, now
where is the place we're supposed to wait for sally and noin at?" Kira laughed,
"Man I wonder if I was ever as emotional as you?" Jade slapped her "Hey you,
you've always been MORE emotional than what I could ever be!!~~" she chased
after her down the hallway.
"Well I know that that was a hard suit to
master thats for sure" jonathan continued his conversation with the once ace
piolet of OZ "Yes, but no one really knew of the tallgeeses abuility's or they
wouldnt have left it as something to be left as and ancient scrap but I knew the
moment that walker showed me that suit that I would be the one to see its
abuilitys" he tilted the empty bottle to look at the side of it where the liquid
had unce filled it "Well enough talk of mobile suits what did you find?"
Jonathan was surprised he thought that zechs must have been drunk or at leaste
to the point where the info wouldnt be as important "ok now the sectors furthest
from the earth this here is theyre ussual shipping intake of the diferent needed
ores and Irons because the shipping of gundanium alloy has to be special ordered
here is the separte sheet on that, the mining of gundanium alloy only takes
place along the natural resorce satalites closer to earths orbit.." he was cut
off "ALright jonathan I know about the way that gundanium alloy and all the
other resorces for that matter are mined and shipped and the reasons why and the
resons why not for all these matters, I used to be commanding officer taking
care of the needs of the aliences and oz's transports along those routs just get
to the point" jonathan composed himself so as to not get upset zechs could be
quite intimidating with his deep voice and an almost bit of a growl as he spoke
"Ok the outcome is this.." he pointed at a finalized sheet which showed the
dealings of all the colonies but mostly theouter ones "Colony xx126 through L9
are the most active latly on the shipments" he looked at zechs face as he looked
at the figures and contemplated theoutcome of the information "And have you
found out where Lady une has been visiting when she goes to space?" jonathan
looked suspiciously at zechs hand where he had bloody bandage wrapped around it
but spoke up "Umm..yeah here is some of her past scheduled visits and here is a
few future ones planned, plus we found out a few of the confidential visitings
and here is what the average of places she visits, but if its trieze your
searching for, if you dont mind me saying"he looked shyly at the man he adored
"You might want to try the state home where some of the ex alience and oz
officials visit I know of a few times recently that une has gone there if you
want to pick up a lead. thats where it might be!" zechs scowled as he squeezed
his hand shut tight making it bleed again "I'm not going to chase him, thats the
leaste thing I want to do! I am trying to find out whats up the sleev of those
darn officials behind the preventers right now because I have a feeling theres
something suspiciouse that une and they are cooking up and if thats true you
know that trieze is behind it" jonathan stared at the ,mans hand 'does he feel
that, I wish I was as strong as him' "Sir, not meaning any disrespect but lady
une is the first to prevent wars and help the preventers and the colonies and
earth and even if trieze is alive dont you think that he would be fighting
against wars now too?" zecks looked ta the young mans face and how intently he
was searching to understand "You dont understand these aristocrats like him
trieze is a kind man overall, but he misunderstands war no matter how hard he
trys he will always thnk of it as aristocratical play and a showy display of
ones skills and even lady une is a different person when she is with him. you
will undrestand sooner or later but this man is not one to be toyed with" he
finished with an indignant bowing of his head "I dont even completely understand
him with everything that he and I have been through" jonathan stared at his
face. but zechs sat with a feeling of vengence as he squeezed his hand tight
'Treize your ghost is like an enemy of strength unsurpased in my mind, how will
I understand what you want from me?' jonathan looked at the empty window and at
the clouds pasing over them in the sky "Are you going to help the preventers
sir?" zechs looked the young mand over almost like he was sizing him up trying
to decide who to stand with in this silent battle which he was looking to fight
he sneered "It's not like me to sneek around and keep things quiet like this I'm
used to going all out and acomplishing my needs but this, this silent war which
I have been putting of ever since I started getting a suspiciouse feeling. This
is totaly new to me, I guess I could use yourself as and alience if your up for
the challenge that is? but I'm not ready to take sides again with the preventers
or anyone!" jonathan smiled "Well thats a good enough answer for me, of course
I'll help you, I want to learn from you" zechs spoke up "Nooo, Your not HELPING
me it's only going to be like someone to caddyshack papers and info, and I am
not someone to teach unless you give of yourself completely, but I'v made such
mistakes that I'm not worth learning from" jonathan stayed quiet unsure of how
to react but finaly he was quite simple in his reply "Well I'll do whatever I
can that can make your treck easier" zechs was taken aback by that reply 'what
is with this boy it's like he's on a mission of goodness to try to get me to be
his friend or something' "I dont know what you after janathan but whatever it is
dont set your hopes too high I am what I am and that means I'm set in my ways I
havent worked with anyone in a long time let alone side by side like this, I'm
used to sometimes having noin by me but its not the same, thats all I need you
for for now, where can I find you if I need you?" jonathan stood up and handed
him a paper well according to the preventers this place doesnt exist but this is
a small gathering place for the few that know about it, you'll find that the few
that o there will be willing to help me but they neednt know who you are or what
your after, in fact nobody knows even the real name of anyone else there, its a
secret opperation that keeps track of smugglers and some more details that the
preventers sometimes overlook, you'll either find me there or on base but I can
find you too" he thought he sounded quite profesional but he looked up to see
zechs looking quite annoyed at him, "So you think you have verything planned out
huh?" he snickered "alright, you can leave now,,,ohh and jonathan...thanks" he
said it so quietly that the young soldier didnt almost hear him. zechs lowered
his head and closed his eyes in dep thought 'Why do I keep trying its almost
like I'm not true to my own decisions I promised to leave this god forsaked land
and never return and here I am agaion making the same fool hardy mistakes as
ever' he scowled as the sound of the door interupted his thoughts 'I dont know
what that guy is trying to prove. Jonathan walked down the empty cooridoor with
his hands in his coat pocket his sandy hair blew in the slight breze of the
opened door. he made it to the door way and with a creek he made it outside
'What AM I trying to prove? how long can I keep this up?" his brillient eyes
sparkled in the sunlight they dnaced with the young spirit that he showed within
himself. but a smile came to his solemn face "well I'm learning from my mistakes
already, looks like its back to work for today!"
"When will those darn
high officials at head preventers learn, I am not in any shape for training
young people any more, I'm no good at that I'm not worthy to teach anyone" noin
stood in the ships window watching the base as they pulled back in "Well glad we
didnt have to fight of see any mobile suits this time, it ended up a flub as
ussual we werent prepared" the young oficer mentioned to sally. "Well" she
nodded to the young man while she began to reply to noin "Just in case you
wanted to know it was me that recomended then for your training, it wasnt the
hied aficials choice at all, because you and I both know your more than
competent and you need something to keep you busy anyway" she walked over and
put her hand on noins shoulder as she stood waching out the window "especialy in
your condition, when will the male sex of the human species ecer learn" she
shook her head jokingly "Are you feeling better now noin?" noin looked at all
the offficers moving about in the docking room "Yeah, yeah I'm fine now, it was
just another spell" they felt thier ship jolt as it finished its docking. the
air locks tightened and the doors were opened.Sally pushed gently with her foot
to propel herself in the non gravity "Comon I want to introduce you to your
students they should be here. she puled herself along the ramp and out the door
of the craft "Boy these preventer units out here sure are bulky dont you think
you should have more manuverable ships for pursuit" noin followed gently as she
drifted enjoying not haveing any gravity pulling her down again and releasing
the weight off her spine 'I never thought being pregnant could be so painful'
"Well it sure is better than what we had only a year ago huh sally?" she said as
her feet touched down on the floor of the docking station "yea..I see what you
mean. Well you should like these girls noin, they have your spirit" she gave her
a wink "So how old are they?" noin asked as they began to slowly walk towards
the main hallway "I cant remember theyre exact age but theyre young as ever you
know how those recruiting agents are, alowing younger and younger, befor we know
it we'll have little kids like the gundam piolets running evrywhere" all of a
sudden she could tell somone was behind her then she heard his voice "You know
sally you are digging yourself in deeper and deeper your not that old yourself,
and I am not a child thats for sure, you really dont want me as an enemy again
now do you" wufei stood glaring at her. sally chuckled alittle "I'll remember
that, of course you guys are an exception, but other young teens are very
imature!" she stopped and looked ahead of her at the hally way "Well speak of
the devils now~" noin and wufei both looked up "You know I am accualy curiouse
what these girls are like too" wufei said trying to pick out who she ment. noins
eyes scanned the area. A bustling crowd was coming and gooing so they couldnt
tell who it was that sally had seen. Kira tapped her sister on te shoulder "hey
there they are I think, isnt that sally?" Jade looked up "Huh...ohh yea I see
her" she gave a wave while kira lowered her head 'Now the trainng begins, I
realy dont think we've seen the last of wars' kira thought to herself as they
came closer to the small gathering of people they saw. Wufei saw them "Well
theyre not too sorry looking." he joked but with a small smile crossed his arms,
"Lets see what they accualy have for talent though"
