Author's Notes: Thanks for Reviewing Curse of Immortality!!
^_^ Yeyy!!
Oh yeah, some of you did say that this plot was sort of familiar.
I guess it is, it resembles an old movie a few years back. I can't
remember the title though. I don't own that either! So don't sue me!
I promise you that it isn't the same plot line!!
*************
The students were all gathered around the meeting room, as
they called it. Usagi stared around at the groups of people
and she noticed that Makura wasn't there at all.
(Why isn't she here? That could be bad for the students
if someone is missing...and Relena isn't here as well!)Usagi noted.
The soldiers began to count them off, one by one and soon
it ended. At that moment, Aenon Hiba came in and the soldier
gave him the count number.
"Everyone is all here,"Aenon nodded in approval.
(That's wrong....Makura and Relena aren't here. Did he
do something to them?)Usagi wondered as her brows furrowed.
"The police, the army, and all the other law inforcements
are out there at this moment. But since there are thousands
of you in this place, they won't dare attack. They do
know there are bombs here and I would set them off within
one second. They know that I can kill anyone of you and so
they are forced to just wait this out,"Aenon told them
with a slight smirk.
(That bastard, he's playing with our lives as if this is
one big game to him!)Usagi's eyes flared with anger for that
moment.
Duo and Hotaru were side by side in the line and Hotaru
appeared to be worried as she glared at the leader and
stared at her Princess. Duo unconsciously held out his hand
and grasped her small, fragile hand into his. Giving
it a warm squeeze of assurance, this helped to calm the girl
down a bit as she gave him a smile.
The door opened in front of them and Relena came in with two
soldiers.
"Ahh, Relena. It is nice of you to join us. I trust that
the meeting with those people went well?"Aenon greeted.
"What do you want, Mr. Hiba?"Relena asked in a regal tone.
"Boys, send Miss Relena to my office,"Aenon ordered.
The soldiers obeyed and dragged the pacifist out of the room
and down the hall. From the corner of their eyes, the five G-pilots
and the two scouts watched the direction they went.

~.~.~Meanwhile, OUTSIDE~.~.~
Setsuna and the other doctors/scientists were lined outside
staring at the Academy.
"Sir! Miss Relena Peacecraft is okay,"one of the police units reported.
"That's good. Did she have any useful knowledge?"the captain asked.
"No sir, we weren't able to ask her except for the student's
health. There were men beside her insuring that she doesn't
let out any secrets,"the policeman replied.
"...We won't get anywhere at this rate.."sighed the captain and shooed
the officer away.

"What should we do?"Dr. G asked his associates.
"Try to contact the pilots, what else?"Dr. H stated.
"And tell them what? We have nothing!"exclaimed Dr. O.
"We'll need to..."started Dr. J but trailed off.
"Need to do what?"pressed Dr. S.
"It's a suicide mission but I believe we have no choice,"Dr. J told them.
Nearby, the commander of the S.W.A.T overheard their conversation
and stepped in.
"I couldn't help overhearing but it seems to me you six have
a plan?"the commander interrupted.
The six doctors turned to regard the man with silent eyes.
"Yes, we do,"Dr. M addressed the man.
"I am Commander Tieyou of the S.W.A.T team. We are open to
any suggestions at the time. We need to rescue those students
and especially Miss Relena and Mr. Milliardo Peacecraft,"Com. Tieyou
introduced himself.
"Like I was saying Commander. What I have planned is
a suicide mission,"Dr. J told him.
"Whatever it is, my men can handle it,"Com. Tieyou stated.
"It's not your men we're talking about. It is ours,"Dr. J continued.
The commander blinked in slight confusion.
"It is an inside job. As we speak, our soldiers are inside
the Academy awaiting our orders,"Dr. M picked off.

~.~.~Back Inside the Academy~.~.~
Aenon Hiba just left and went inside to his office, leaving the students
and faculty members at their wake.
"What do you think he's going to do to Relena?"Hotaru asked.
"My guess is that he'll do just what Quatre voiced out
not too long ago,"Usagi said.
"What guess was that?"Hotaru continued to ask.
"Use her for power,"Duo stated, glaring hard at the door where
Aenon Hiba went in.
"Shouldn't we do something? She is the symbol of peace
of this time,"Hotaru whispered out her suggestion.
"This time?"Quatre mimicked.
"It is not our mission to protect her,"Trowa intoned.
"But..."Hotaru started.
Usagi silently stared at Hotaru, who gazed at her.
"I doubt they'll hurt her, Hotaru. She'll be okay,"Usagi agreed with
Trowa.
"Mmm..."

~.~.~Inside the Office~.~.~
"Why don't you just give me the power that I want? You don't need
to concern yourself with all this...let me handle it,"Aenon told her
as he strode over to the closed drapes.
"Never! You will only ruin the peace that me and the others
have worked so hard to achieve!"Relena protested.
"You will give me what I want!"Aenon growled as he started to lose
his patience.
"No!"Relena shook her head.
"You are being a stupid girl, Peacecraft!"Aenon Hiba growled.
"You may call me whatever name you want but I won't
give in,"Relena regally stated.
"Shall we punish her?"one of the soldiers suggested.
"No need,"Aenon shook his head.
"Once again, Miss Relena. Give me the power that you possess.
Pass it on to me and you and your brother among with the students
will leave and be safe,"Aenon blackmailed.
(They wouldn't forgive me if I did that.)Relena went over in her
head.
"N-no,"Relena kept her decision final but what met her wasn't what she
expected.
A hard blow was delivered to her body as Aenon pushed her hard
against the door. Surprising both the soldiers and herself.
"You are testing my patience and I promise you this, I am
not a patient man,"Aenon threatened with a deep rumbling voice.
All Relena could do was stare back at his intense deep blue eyes.
****************
The students heard a loud slam and a whimper from the office
where Relena and Aenon were at along with the two soldiers.
"You said they wouldn't hurt her,"Hotaru whispered out.
"I did say that but they won't kill her,"Usagi said confidentally
but with slight doubt.
"You said that already but are you sure about
this now?"Hotaru doubted.
Usagi didn't say anything back.
"Let's just wait and if she screams we go and save her,"Trowa put in.
"Fine, I'll go along with this for now,"Hotaru grumbled.
(Grr....what do I do with this? All I can do is wait! It's
so frustrating!)Usagi told herself as her fists tightened.
**************
She could feel his breath near her face, his strong hands around her
shoulders squeezing it painfully hard. Relena wanted to scream
out in pain and fear but she wouldn't let him know she was scared.
Somehow at this moment, she mistrusted herself that he believed
her when it came to bravery. All she could do to maintain herself
from shouting for help was to whimper. Relena felt like a frightened
mouse trapped in the corner in front of a hungry cat. That's
what she felt, trapped.
"Those people are concerned for your well being. You have the
ability to get others to follow you. They trust you, they look
toward you. Give me that power, give me what I want,"Aenon's voice
hissed in her ear.
Relena closed her eyes, wanting to forget where she was and who
she was with. She tried to picture that she was somewhere safe
with her brother and in Heero's protective arms but she knew
it was only a fantasy, filled with hopes and dreams that she could
only wish to have.
She gulped as she felt her heart tighten. For a moment she
wondered if she could even talk now.
"I can't give you that,"Relena whimpered.
"And why not, princess?"Aenon venomously spat out as he gripped her
shoulder harder.
Relena winced at the pain, biting her lip.
"You're a monster! Keeping these students around like this! How
could I give it to you? They would never follow you even if I do
let you!"Relena shouted.
Aenon lost his patience and just slammed her again the door.
Relena's head hit the door hard and she yelped in pain, her head
throbbing.
"You have no position to speak to me in such a tone!"Aenon growled.
Once again he slammed Relena and began to raise his fist. The soldiers
nearby didn't do anything as they smirked at the sight.
**************
Usagi and the other pilots as well as the students heard a shout and
a slam.
(He wouldn't!)Usagi gasped as her eyes widened and she started for
the office door.
She was about to open the door followed by the other guys when
three soldiers stood in front of her, keeping them away.
"You are not allowed to go in there,"the guard stated.
"They're hurting her!"Usagi shouted.
"Whatever goes in that room is none of our concern,"the second guard
told her.
"It may not be yours but it is mine!"Usagi stated and pushed away from
the guards but they grabbed hold of her wrist.
"Let go!"Usagi screamed.
"AHH!!"Relena shrieked.
"She said let go!"Hotaru exclaimed as she pushed the guy who held
Serena's/Usagi's wrist.
Usagi went toward the door while Duo and Hotaru held off one guy,
Wufei held off the other, and Quatre did the same with the last guy.

The door opened showing Usagi standing there, glaring at Aenon. Trowa
came in, dealing with the two soldiers in the room. Relena collapsed to
the floor and Heero went forward and grabbed her, making sure she was
okay.
"Just bruised and beaten. She'll live,"Heero informed her in monotone,
showing that he didn't care.
"How could you do that to her?!"Usagi blamed Aenon.
"Feh. It's not like I care,"Aenon simply stated, getting
his cool back.
"You don't care?"Usagi slowly asked/stated, her eyes showing
that she couldn't believe what he just told her.
"Relena Peacecraft is the object of peace to the world and the
Colonies. She holds a commanding demeanor within her. If she
gives me the ability to control the world and the colonies, nothing
will stand in my way! When she told me that she wouldn't give me
that power...."told Aenon but trailed off.
(He's just like those NegaCreeps and their obsession over
power...)Usagi/Serena said within her mind.
Trowa came in along with Wufei, Duo, Hotaru, and Quatre. Heero
was kneeling down on the floor with an unconscious Relena.
Usagi shook her head.
"Power. That's all that people want these days, isn't it?
Relena may be the symbol of peace and she may have the people's
attention but that won't be enough to stop others from reaching
their goal. If you want the control over Earth and the Colonies,
why won't you take a different route? Forcing someone to
give it to you will not do much for your success. These citizens
will overthrow you,"Usagi told him.
Aenon gazed into her crystalline blue eyes, he saw something
that bewildered his mind. For that brief moment that she lectured
him, he could've sworn that he saw a queen. Her voice held a commanding
tone and she seemed to shine. Her eyes were serious and held great
knowledge.
(She is so familiar to me...but from where?)Aenon whispered in his head
but he pushed the thought away as he straightened up.
"You have done enough damage. If you don't want any of your
classmates to die or get punished, I suggest that you leave now. I am
willing to overlook this disturbance,"Aenon announced.
The G-pilots and Hotaru were about to say otherwise, seeing that
they had greater odds than Mr. Hiba but as they turned their heads
they thought differently when they found ten soldiers surrounding the
entrance.
"Very well, Mr. Hiba,"Serena/Usagi slightly bowed, her lips thinned.
Hotaru followed suit, the pilots held a bit of wonderment about
how these two girls acted.
"We will meet again,"Wufei added in before stepping outside.
"Omae o korosu,"Heero threatened in monotone as he picked up the body
and carried the pacifist out of there.
"I apologize for the disaster we have caused,"Quatre tried to cover up.
"....."Trowa just walked out of there.
Duo glared at Aenon before he too strolled out of the room and the
door closed shut.
"That girl...Usagi. I don't know why, but I have a feeling
I know her from somewhere. From where though? From
where?"Aenon Hiba asked himself.
"I will find out somehow,"Aenon mumbled.

******************
In Heero's Dorm
******************
"That was a close one! I was sure we would get punished!"Duo exclaimed.
"Don't think that we will always end up getting out of
trouble, Duo!"Hotaru warned him.
"I know, I know,"Duo nodded.
"So what happened to Relena?"Usagi asked Heero.
"Infirmary. Milliardo took her there when we got her
out,"Heero answered in monotone.
"Will she be okay?"Quatre asked.
"Hn." indicating 'yes'.
"Any news from the doctors?"Usagi inquired.
"No, onna,"Wufei told her.
"Quit calling me that!"Usagi shouted.
"I'll call you whatever you want!"Wufei shot back.
"Ooh!! Why you!"started Usagi.
"Calm down, Usagi. It's better than him calling you
those other nicknames,"Hotaru soothed.
"Nicknames?"Wufei and Duo asked in unison.
Hotaru was startled and Usagi began to get wide eyed.
"Don't you dare, Hotaru!"Usagi shouted in protest.
"Tell us!"Duo pressed.
"Well..."Hotaru began.
"If you call me by those names and onna! I will find a way
to get back at the both of you!"Usagi shouted.
"Come on! At least one nickname!"Duo urged, giving Hotaru
puppy eyes.
Hotaru gazed at those pleading indigo eyes of his and couldn't
resist.
"Well an old friend of her's among others called Usagi
odango atama or meatball head,"Hotaru gave out.
"Hotaru! How could you?!"Usagi cried out as if betrayed.
"Sorry, Usa..."Hotaru apologized.
"Hahaha! Odango atama! Meatball head!"Duo laughed.
Wufei just smirked. Trowa and Heero didn't say anything. Quatre
blushed.
"Grr! Stop it Duo!"Usagi pouted.
"So onna, odango eh?"Wufei started.
"Don't you even dare!"Usagi shouted.
"Odango! Meatball!"Duo chanted.
"That's it!"Usagi exclaimed and she grabbed ahold of Heero's gun
and started aiming at Duo.
"Omae o korosu! Quit with the nicknames!"Usagi threatened as she
pointed the gun.
"Give me back the gun Usagi!"Heero stated in monotone.
"I'm using it!"Usagi shot Heero a 'don't mess with me' glare.
"I'm warning you, Duo!"Usagi told the braided one.
"Odango, onna?"Wufei smriked.
"You too Wu-man!"Usagi growled.
"Eeps!"Duo yelped as he ran behind Hotaru, crouching low.
"Don't call me Wu-man, onna!"Wufei growled.
"Then don't call me by those names!"Usagi shot back.
"I'll call you whatever I want onna!"Wufei told her.
"Then I'll call you what I want, Wu-man!"Usagi said, stretching out the 'Wu-man'
"Yeah, Wu-man!"Duo laughed.
"You still didn't get out of it, Duo Maxwell! I'll get you
for this!"Usagi stated, pointing the gun at him.
"Calm down! All of you!"pleaded Quatre, walking in front of Usagi and
indicating with his hands to lower the gun.
"Yeah!"Duo meekly agreed, popping his head out from behind Hotaru's
small figure.
"Grrr...you're lucky Duo!"Usagi growled as she handed the gun back
to Heero.
"Phew!"Duo sighed in relief as he stepped up and beside Hotaru.
Wufei just 'hmphed' and leaned against the wall, seemingly oblivious
to what happened only seconds ago.
"We still have to discuss about Aenon Hiba or have you forgotten!"Quatre
nagged at them.
They knew he was right so they all sat or stood and began to think
about a plan to get the students and faculty out safely from the school.
********************
"So you're telling me that there are children in there that
can help stop those bombs from going off?"Com. Tieyou asked for the second time.
"Yes,"a ticked off Dr. O answered.
"Okay. So what's the plan then that's so suicidal?"Com. Tieyou said.
"First off, we need to ask them about the bomb situation. After that
we'll get our plan to action,"Dr. J informed him.
"What's so suicidal about that? Aren't they trained for this type
of stuff?"Com. Tieyou asked.
"They are. The suicidal part is that they might get caught
or worse, the bombs may go off once they get there,"Dr. M told the clueless
commander.
"You're telling me that you have no clue what kind of bombs
there are inside that building?!"Com. Tieyou exclaimed.
"Do you?!"the five scientists asked him, making him feel foolish
while Dr. M decided to ignore the question.
"I-I was just..."Com. Tieyou stuttered, flushing from embarassment.
"We should contact the others now,"Dr. M interrupted, breaking the
tense atmosphere that was created.
"How? The communication was cut off on all areas except the
office that Aenon Hiba is in!"exclaimed Com. Tieyou.
"That's what you and the others think. Our people are
experts, they fixed the link and we are able to contact them,"Dr. S
told him as they began to walk away from the Academy.
"We'll keep you informed,"Dr. M told him in a formal tone.
***************
*beep* *beep*
The five pilots, Usagi, and Hotaru stopped talking at once
and Heero walked up and began typing into the computer.

Pilots,
As you know there are seven bombs within the Academy.
Quickly find out how many there are inside and where they are
positioned at. Time is running out. We will contact you
soon.
Do you accept/Decline this mission?
Delete after you send in your answer.

Heero glanced at the others, awaiting their answers. Usagi
nodded in answer along with Hotaru. Wufei gave a nod of consent
and Trowa did as well.
"I accept,"Quatre answered.
"Count me in!"Duo exclaimed.
Heero turned back to the monitor and typed in his answer.
"Mission: Accepted,"Heero stated in monotone and clicked
Accept, then deleted the message.

"We should start. We can't all go at once,"Usagi suggested.
"The on--,"started Wufei but was silenced as Usagi glared at him,
daring him to say onna.
*ahem*
"Usagi is right, one or two of us has to go around the school
during when everything is silent and no one expects a person to be
wandering around,"Wufei corrected himself.
"I'll take the first night. Anyone else?"Usagi volunteered.
"I will as well,"Hotaru quietly spoke up before the others.
"Hotaru?!"Duo exclaimed.
"Anything wrong, Duo?"Hotaru inquired.
"You don't have to,"Duo tried to get her to change her mind.
"I want to and I have other reasons why I'm doing this..."Hotaru trailed off.
"What other reason is that?"Duo asked.
"...nothing, forget it. Tonight, me and Usagi will
try to find the bombs and where they are at,"Hotaru nodded in confirmation.
"Good, let's get back to our dorms and get ready,"Trowa said and
got off the wall he was leaning on and walked out of the door followed
by Quatre.
Soon all of them were out of Heero's room except Usagi but she too
left.
(Be careful, Usa...)Heero said inside his mind as he watched her go
out of his dorm room.

To be continued...
******************
Sorry that it didn't contain much stuff in here except some obvious
stuff and all. I'll try to get a better one out with actual answers,
at least about the locations of those stupid bombs and hopefully some
action! @_@
