*****************
(This girl? This teenager? I-I'm confused now! How? How can
she live through all that?! It..it's..*sigh* no, it is possible.
It is true, isn't it?)Aenon Hiba said inside his head as he gaped
at the one called Usagi Akari.
"No, no...it..it's,"Aenon stuttered.
"It is true, I have been through a lot and have been called by
those names in the past,"Usagi informed him, her eyes glittering
with royalty.
"Now, it is my turn. What is your name?"Usagi asked him.
Before he could answer, a knock sounded upon the door and Aenon
turned to answer it. A soldier was there, looking a bit guilty for
intruding.
"It is time for the count, sir,"the soldier uneasily reminded him.
Usagi swirled around and calmly walked out of the door.
"I guess our game is postponed for now, isn't it?"Usagi said before
striding out of the door.
Hotaru was waiting in line for the count as well as for Serena.
****************
(Makura isn't here again. Where has she been? It's odd that
she hasn't shown up at all for the count!)Usagi noticed as she gazed
around the room.
Aenon trailed behind the blond girl, staring at her and wondering
about what he just heard not too long ago.
(Neo-Queen Serenity, Serena Tsukino, Princess Serenity,
and Sailor Moon. All those names, all those identities packed inside
that teenage girl known as Usagi Akari. It's unbeliveable!)Hiba
exclaimed within his mind.
Aenon signalled for a soldier and one came up to him.
"I want you to go and gather information on a Princess Serenity, Neo-Queen
Serenity, and a Sailor Moon,"Aenon ordered.
The soldier blinked but saluted and left. Afterwards, Aenon signalled for
another soldier and one came up.
"Get something on a girl named Serena Tsukino,"Aenon instructed.
The soldier left after a brief nod.
(Some of those names sounded familiar..very familiar, but how? I've
never heard of them before, have I?)Aenon wondered.
******************
"Tonight, the shuttle and the money will be delivered,"Com. Tieyou stated.
"Yes, we haven't been able to contact the others yet for some
reason,"sighed Dr. J.
"I'll contact Saturn then,"Dr. M said.
"Good, ask her about the bomb situation,"Dr. S pointed out.
"Saturn?"Com. Tieyou voiced out.
"Codename,"Dr. G answered him.
"I know, I will,"Dr. M nodded as she walked through the bunched up parents
and relatives of the students.
(Serena, my princess, my Queen. Be safe and careful. The timeline
is taking a new twist of events. Who knows how much will change
once night time comes around!)Dr. M said inside her head, her maroon eyes
glinting from the morning sun.
****************
"8,310,"the soldier announced.
"Very well, everyone is here,"Aenon approved.
A litter of sighs went out, when he said that.
(Makura, where is she? What happened to her? 8,310? How can
that be when...it's all confusing to me..)Serena/Usagi told herself.
After the count, Usagi went to her room to change to her uniform before
setting off to her first class. When lunch time came by, Usagi met the
guys and Hotaru over at Quatre's and Trowa's room.
"So what information have you gathered?"Wufei spoke up.
"I got three bombs located,"Hotaru told them.
"Two bombs for me. That leaves two more bombs needed to be
found,"Usagi said.
"We'll need to keep looking tonight,"Quatre uttered.
"We can't. We need to dislocate those bombs by today,"Usagi protested.
"How come?"Hotaru spoke up.
"The trade is tonight. The shuttle and the money is being delivered,
he's going to blow the place up. He already knows that the g-pilots
are in this school, so it's a good time for him to do this
act!"Usagi informed them.
"We still don't know about the other two bombs or how to
set it off!"Wufei exclaimed.
"Wrong! We do know how to set it off. There's seven bombs in this
school, five of them we know where it is. There are seven of us which
evens it out. I overheard them talk, saying that you need to operate
it at the same time and dislocate the bomb at the same time,"Usagi
stated.
"There's more,"Usagi continued, catching their attention once more.
"What is it?"Trowa inquired.
"This..."Usagi simply said, taking out a folded piece of paper and
unfolding it as she placed it on the coffee table.

A.H. bases are set around the planet of 300 bases.
Locations: United States: 50 England: 50
Africa: 50 Sanq Kingdom: 50
Brazil: 50 Sahara Desert: 50
All bases are in and secured.

"Something else I found out while in that office of his,"Usagi smirked.
"We'll deal with it after we save this Academy and the students
in it,"Heero stated in monotone.
"Aenon also said something about building a machine afterwards, but
he refused to talk about it. He was really determined to get that
machine built, it could be dangerous,"Usagi added in.
"Hn."
"Anything else?"Quatre asked her.
"He has a glowing obelisk he keeps locked up inside that desk. He's
twenty-two years old and from Tokyo, Japan. He claims that he
just came upon that stone in the woods one day,"Usagi told them.
"How'd you know that?! Just asked him for all that information?!"Duo exclaimed.
"Actually, yes,"Usagi smirked.
"What?!"Duo shouted in disbelief.
"He wanted answers, I wanted answers. We just played a simply question
and answer game,"Usagi said.
"What questions did he ask you, Usagi?"Hotaru inquired, stretching out her name.
"...I'll tell you later, Hotaru,"Usagi softly uttered.
"Getting back to bussiness. We have been able to gather a lot of things
out of this machine, is there anything else before we continue on?"Quatre asked.
"It may not be really important but there was something while I
was searching for the bombs,"Hotaru quietly spoke up.
"What is it?"Duo urged her to go on.
"There were two people talking. One female and the other male. They
were talking about a plan. The man was uncertain over the 'plan' while
the female was sure about it. It may or may not concern the matter of
the bombs or whatever over the G.C. organization,"Hotaru told them.
"A male and a female?"Quatre whispered out, mimicking what Hotaru just
said.
"Do you know who they are?"Trowa asked her.
"No. I do know what the female looks like but not the male. He was
bowing his head and beside the girl. Their voices sound familiar
but I couldn't figure out the owner's of it, they were talking as if
whispering,"Hotaru shook her head.
"What does this girl look like?"Usagi asked her.
"Well she was.."started Hotaru.
A beeping came out and Hotaru stood up, excusing herself to the bathroom.
"Why does she keep doing that? Why not just answer it
over here?"Duo complained.
"Maybe she'd like 'privacy'?"Usagi answered for her.
"Jealous, baka?"Wufei snickered.
"I'm not jealous, Wu-man!"Duo shot back at him, giving him a dirty look.
"Don't call me Wu-man!"Wufei shouted.
"Well you started it,"Duo remarked.


"Yes, Pluto?"Hotaru answered the communicator.
"Anything on the bombs?"Setsuna asked her.
"We found five bombs around the school, we need to know about the
two others. Time is running out. Serena found out that Hiba
is planning on blowing up the school at night time when he is out
of here and on the shuttle with his money!"Hotaru told her.
"This isn't good. The timestream is taking a twist from the events
that is taking place right now. Even I don't know the outcome of
the situation,"Setsuna sighed.
"Do you at least know where the two other bombs are?"Hotaru asked with
pleading eyes.
"I am sorry, that information has not been revealed to me,"Setsuna shook
her head.
"It's okay, we'll try to do our best. Serena found a lot of information
anyways,"Hotaru weakly gave her a smile.
"Good luck and take care,"Setsuna waved and ended the connection.

"Hotaru? Did you get anything useful?"Usagi asked the girl as she came
back.
"No, nothing,"Hotaru shook her head.
"...we're alone on this one then,"Usagi sighed.
"So what's the plan?"Hotaru turned to stare at the guys.
"...Five of us will go and station ourselves on the bombs
we know. The other two can go and find the others?"suggested Duo.
"Today, after class. We'll spread ourselves and track down
those bombs. Just tell us where you two haven't gone to yet
and we'll search there,"Heero spoke up.
"Good, then we'll do what Duo said. Put ourselves at the bombs
and stop those bombs from exploding,"nodded Quatre.
"Right,"sighed Usagi in agreement.
All seven of them got to work. Hotaru and Usagi telling them which
areas they've already looked through and the other five listened attentively.
By the time they were done, the bell just rang and so all of them went
off to their classes, their minds filled with so much information.
After their classes, they all split up to find the two remaining bombs.
Time was running out and they all knew it. At the moment it was only
the afternoon but soon, night will take over and the bombs will be set off.
Duo was wandering around the top floor and he already took out three of
the soldiers patrolling the area. His eyes gazing around the hallway
but no such luck on where to find it. As he was nearing the end of the
hallway, a silver glint could be spotted near one of the doors. Duo
went over to inspect it and he found one of the bombs.

Meanwhile, Wufei was grumbling about justice and onnas as he shot
one of the guards and hefted him over to a broom closet. By the time
he shut the door, he was complaining under his breath about weak
soldiers and other weaklings. But soon he stopped when he was reminded
about a certain blond teenager.
His thoughts were interrupted when he caught sight of the bomb
on the ceiling, glinting from the vent. After finding the detonation
device, Wufei strolled out of the place and back to his dorm room to wait
for the others.

Evryone gathered back in a matter of hours, just an hour before
sunset.
"So?"Hotaru broke the silence.
"Found one,"Duo reported.
"Like what the braided baka said,"Wufei followed after.
"Good, a total of seven now,"Quatre said with a slight uneasy smile.
"All we have to do is get over to the seven bombs and sabotage
those G.C. soldiers' plan!"Duo shouted with some enthusiasm.
"Hotaru?"Usagi called her.
"Yeah?"Hotaru said.
"Lend me that communicator, will you? I need to make a
call,"Usagi requested.
"Sure,"Hotaru consented, taking it off and giving it to her.
"Thanks,"Usagi slightly bowed and stood up from her seat, leaving
them without another word.
"Where's she going?"Duo asked Hotaru.
"Call someone,"Hotaru simply replied.

"Dr. M! Dr. M!"Usagi called out over the communicator.

*beep* *beep*
"Excuse me,"Dr. M excused herself from the group of scientists
and the Commander.
She strode over to the car and opened up her communicator.
"Yes?"Dr. M answered.
"Dr. M?"Usagi asked, hesitantly.
"Princess!"Dr. M said with some shock.
"Sets, I need a favor,"Usagi reverted back to Serena.
"It depends on what it is,"Setsuna told her.
"I need seven communicators. At least long enough to travel throughout
the Academy,"Serena requested.
"Communicators?"Setsuna repeated after.
"Seven of them. Do you have any?"Serena asked again.
"...I'll go check,"Setsuna sighed.
"Thank you,"
**********************
In Aenon Hiba's office
**********************
Seven soldiers were all lined up and waiting for instructions as they
stood in front of their leader.
"You are trained for taking risks and chances. So here you are, the seven
of you. You all have worked together over the past months and I have
summoned you,"Aenon announced as he walked back in forth the whole lot.
They didn't move nor utter a word. All they did was stand there like
statues.
"This is what I want you to do. Go to the seven bombs that are located
around the Academy and set the timer for three hours and ten
minutes. You know what the bombs will do if it is done
incorrectly, so don't screw this assignment up!"Aenon barked the last
bit out.
The seven soldiers saluted with a bit of fear in them before they
marched out of the wooden door.
"Useful and yet at the same time, useless. But someone has
to get the job done,"Hiba scoffed as he sat down on his desk.
***************
Back to outside
***************

Setsuna shut off the communicator and got out of the car. First
she checked the trunk but found only two so she took that. Then
she strolled over to the other doctors.
"Do you have five more communicators?"Dr. M asked them.
"What for?"Com. Tieyou asked.
"...it's important. That's all you need to know,"Dr. M told him/them.
"Yes, most of my men have them,"nodded Com. Tieyou.
"May I have those communicators? Only five, that's all
I ask,"Dr. M asked.
"...hold on,"Com. Tieyou said as he walked off.
"Now really, doctor. Why ask for communicators?"Dr. H asked her.
"A friend needs them. She asked for seven, I found two in
my car. She needs five more, so here I am,"Dr. M answered.
None of them were able to question further since Commander Tieyou
came back holding five communicators in a small bag. He gave it to
Dr. M who nodded and strode off without another word.

*beep* *beep*
Serena hurriedly answered the communicator that she held inside the
bathroom.
"Do you have it?"Serena immediately asked.
"Yes, I do,"Setsuna lightly chuckled.
"Great!"Serena beamed a bright smile that made Setsuna smile.
"Princess, I'm afraid that I can not take it to you. You or one
of the others will have to get it,"Setsuna frowned.
"I understand and I will be the one to get it. I'll meet
you near the gates at the far side corner of the Academy near the
pine tree. On the east side, keep that in mind. Meet me there in
twenty minutes,"Serena told her.
Setsuna merely nodded and shut off the communicator.
******************
"There's only a few more hours till the sun sets and night time
inhabits the Sanq Kingdom,"a figure smirked within the shadows of
the room.
"By the time it comes, we will win and they will lose. The pilots
don't have their Gundams and even if they do, they can't afford
killing all these students and teachers. Relena Darlian Peacecraft
is in here and they aren't allowed to kill her,"the second figure
drawled.
"When the sun goes down and the moon comes out among the stars,
this will end. The Academy will come down, the Gundam pilots will
fail, and Relena, the symbol of peace, will be dead,"the first figure
smirked.
"Yes, yes it will,"the second figure agreed.
*****************
Serena now reverted back to being Usagi and walked out of the bathroom
door. They all stared at her, waiting for her to say something that may
be useful but she merely threw Hotaru's communicator toward the owner
and went toward the door.
"Usagi? Where are you going?"Hotaru innocently asked.
"Out,"Usagi said in monotone as she strode out of the doorway and
shut the door behind her. The day was still bright and anyone, especially
the soldiers, could spot her if she wasn't careful.
(I only have one shot at this. We need those communicators if we
need to stop those bombs correctly. Come on Serena you can do this.
No, I shouldn't go by that name anymore. I am Usagi. Usagi Akari
of the Gundam Arethusa. You need to live through this if you want
to pilot that Gundam someday.)Serena/Usagi told herself as she came
around a corner.
Gazing out, she noticed that no one was in that area so she breathed
a sigh of relief and hurriedly passed the corridor. Her footsteps made
no sound when she reached the floor tiles of the entrance hall. There
was a guard but his back was turned. Not wanting to risk any chances,
she ducked inside a door and cracked it open a bit, waiting for the guard to
go away.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"a voice drawled near her ear,
pointing a sharp object at her back.
*gasp*
(No, this can't happen! It just can't!)Serena/Usagi shouted within her
mind.
Slowly, she turned around. Her heart beating fast and her eyes slightly
bulging out, out of fear. Not fear for her death for she is immortal but
fear for the people within the confines of this building. The ones who
can't afford to be dead. The students who have their caring and loving
families just outside these walls, ones who have a chance to be normal and to live
a happy life till the day they die. The ones she have sworn to protect
throughout eternity. If she dies right now, if she isn't able to
reach those communicators to help them with the plan, then what more can
they do to get through this? It will even be worse off if she isn't able
to return, it will just end up with them losing and the enemy winning.
As she whirled around to face the figure, her face widened out of shock.
Out of everyone in the building, she had to face this person! This one
person!
She didn't say anything but just gazed at the figure in front of her.
"If it isn't Usagi Akari,"the figure gave a smirk.

To be continued....
