Thank you for reading this and thank you proofreaders for

checking it out!! ^_^  Arigatou minna-san! As you all know, Serena

is sixteen here and let's see...the gundum wing pilots should

be sixteen or seventeen here!

 

Cheska:  I think that's about it here....

Quatre and Trowa walk up and Cheska turns around to see them.

Quatre:  That's a bit short in comparison to your other notes.

Cheska glares at them but stops after seeing Trowa there, knowing

how overprotective he is.

Cheska:  I know but nothing else to write about.

Trowa: ......you're writing right now.

Cheska: See Quatre..it's not short!

Trowa standing there next to Quatre.

Quatre: Okay Miss Cheska, shall we prepare for the next chapter?

Cheska: Sure thing! ^^  Have fun!!

Quatre and Trowa walk off.

Cheska: Can't argue about anything with those two..*sigh* oh well!

Now on with the story!! *walks off as well*

*************************

 Heero walked through the Peacecraft Academy grounds outside of

the building, letting his thoughts drift.  He was wearing his usual

green tank top and black shorts and his usual emotionless face

except this time his eyes showed a type of confusion in them.

 (That 06 Gundum Pilot shouldn't be an assassin like us. It doesn't

suit her, then again neither do the others. Her past is a complete

mystery and we are alike in some ways. Wait a minute! Why am I thinking

of her!)

 Heero stopped and looked up at the stars before looking at the

view before him. There on the bench near the trees sat the girl

he just thought about, Serena also known as Moon, 06 Gundum Pilot

of the Lunarian Moon. Heero's eyes softened but changed back to

its cold emotionless look as he went into the shadows of the trees

nearby, watching her solitary figure. 

*************

 Serena sat on the bench near the willow tree, watching the calm

night sky full of stars and especially the moon.  Then looked

down at her hands who were on her lap and bent her head down and

two teardrops fell from her her eyes. 

 (These emotions are not suppose to be here! It's a sign of weakness!

Weakness!) thought Serena as she hardened her features and willed

her tears to stop and then wiped away her tears but it didn't

stop as her mind wandered off to her memories once again and the

tears kept on flowing down her face.

 (Why? Why must this happen to me after all these years? What's

making me so soft?) she questioned herself.

 Just then her eyes widened and she took on her cold and emotionless

face show once more and stopped her crying out of sheer determination

and will. Serena wiped her remaining tears away and bent down to

retrieve her gun and slowly drew it out and positioned correctly.

 "Come out. I know you're there hiding in the shadows behind

me,"Serena said icily.

 At that moment, Heero came out of the shadows and stood there with

his emotionless look.

 "What are you doing here?"Heero asked in an emotionless look.

 "I should say the same about you,"Serena answered in the same monotone

as she put her gun back in its hiding place.

 For awhile the two just looked at each other with those cold and

expressionless eyes of theirs. Then Heero walked over to her just behind

the bench and looked out at the sky.

 "I was out here thinking and wondering to myself,"Heero said at last

in his monotone voice.

 "Same here,"she answered the same way.

 Then silence followed for quite awhile.

 "I've wondered...why; after all this time, never once have I felt

bad about all the people I killed and all the lives I've destroyed.

Then this comes along, my conscience and humanity. I have been

taught that emotions are a sign of weakness, it shouldn't be

there and therefore deleted but it shows up,"Serena spoke softly,"

There is blood in my hands that can not be cleaned away, it will

alway be there and my soul is forever tainted by the memories of

the lives I have killed. Those people shouldn't have been killed

by me, they were only there because of their beliefs and have

been persuaded by the enemy."

 "Some things can not be undone.  You did what you had to do

and they knew the consequences as did you when you took this

job as an assassin.  There are certain sacrifices that we all

must have.  You're emotions and your conscience is a sign of

humanity...but we are human after all, it can't just go away.

You can't have your guard down once you are in a mission.

It can be very difficult to cope with once you are in a tight

situation,"said Heero in a monotone voice.

 "I know...my whole life has been based on missions and I'm

sure yours have been as well, you haven't let much of

yourself show after all these years. Your eyes tell that

you have lived a complicated life,"spoke Serena as she turned

to look at him.

 "Yours as well,"said Heero as he looked down at her eyes.

 (Her eyes are just like mine: cold, hard, and emotionless

but right now it has added features of pain and sorrow. She

has been through much and there is also..confusion.) thought

Heero.

 Then Serena turned away from his gaze and stood up. As she

turned around again, she put up the same facade up and

smiled softly as it reached her eyes for a brief second for

him.

 "Thank you, Heero for the company and your

understanding but please...don't talk about this with the

others?"said Serena.

 "Hn." he nodded, turning his head away from her face

and putting up his cold wall from human life once more.

 Serena smiled a genuine smile before putting up her

defences once more as she walked away toward the dormroom,

she wouldn't speak of this conversation, either, if he wouldn't.

*********************************

 Serena took a shower and got ready for school, as she got

out of the closet all dressed she fixed her hair in a braid and

walked out at the balcony.  The sun was beginning to rise and

she stared affectionately at the beautiful scene before her.  Several

colors formed in the air and slowly began to take shape of a light

blue as darkness turned into light.

 (I will find all the reasons to these bits and pieces of my

earlier childhood. I will. This is my own mission and I will

not fail, not after all these years of being an assassin. And

I will find out why Dr. M came back after abandoning me with

another scientist..she doesn't belong in my life again! She

doesn't!) thought Serena as her eyes hardened once more as she

pushed down these thoughts.

 She came back into the room and went off to her first period

with the supplies she would need as well as a gun hidden away.

 Walking toward the classroom she noticed a loud slam against

the wall.  Slowly she approached the classroom and peeked in,

no one was around and yet she distinctly heard a slam. Getting

nearer, she put her head in slowly and looked around and

saw that at the corner from the right side were two people.

Relena and a man. Relena was slammed up against the wall with

a cloth tied around her mouth and her eyes held no fear but

hope within them for someone to come and save her from this man.

The man was obviously a killer because he held a gun in his

hand as well as hatred and bloodthirst.

 With a small sigh that couldn't be heard within two feet of

Serena, she closed her eyes for a brief second before stepping

in.

 (Might as well save the poor girl. After all we have to

protect the baka!)thought Serena as she shook her head in

exasperation.

 Stepping inside the classroom without a sound, Serena drew

her gun toward the attacker and clicked the safety off. The man

drew his head slowly toward the new person.

 "I will kill you. Let the girl go,"Serena stated, her eyes

hard and cold without emotion or care in a monotone voice.

 "A weak onna like you?"laughed the man.

 Boom!

 The man's eyes widened and the pupils were now dilated as he

fell to the ground, releasing his grip from the gun which

clattered to the ground and let go of his captive.

 Relena's eyes widened and stepped backwards, away from the

corpse of her previous attacker. Then took off the cloth

from her mouth and let it drift slowly to the ground as she gasped at the

sight.

 Serena put her gun back to its hiding place before Relena knew

where it was and then stepped toward the body.

 "You should hide the body before anyone knows of its

existence as well as what happened,"Serena said in  monotone.

 Relena just nodded as she recollected her feelings and grabbed hold

of the arms and started dragging the body toward the closet

in back of the podium. Serena stepped toward the door and opened

the closet for Relena as they started putting the body in there

and shut it close. There was still the stench of blood and

Relena went toward her small purse on the other side of the room

and took out a spray and sprayed around the room, erasing the

smell for the time being.  As soon as they were done, students

began to file inside just at the time that Serena sat down,

acting as if nothing happened.  Relena had a far away look but

soon recovered once everyone was present and seated.

 The five gundum boys looked questioningly at Relena Peacecraft but

decided not to bring it up.

 *ahem* "Welcome. I hope you all had a good sleep last night.  Now

then, today will be a bit different instead of the usual lecture.

I want you all to give an oral presentation on your thoughts

about peace and death as well as life. It's all up to you on what

you think about it, whether you agree, disagree or whichever

you want to say about this. I'd like it written down as well.

That is all, you can spend the rest of the period working on

it,"said Relena with a clear and calm voice but deep inside

she wasn't, she was still getting over what happened awhile ago.

 Once her words were said, everyone began writing down or

whispering to one another. Serena began writing down along with

the other pilots and as the period ended and the bell sounded

out, they were all done and finished with it.  Everyone walked

out of the classroom but Serena stayed behind, the pilots saw

this but decided not to say anything.  Serena walked toward

Relena who was looking at the closet with a distant gaze

until Serena stepped in beside her.

 "What are you going to do with the corpse?  It's a bad

idea to have someone killed in the Sanq Kingdom when there

is the belief of pacifism,"stated Serena in monotone.

 "You killed someone. You could have knocked the man out

or something, but kill?!"Relena questioned.

 "It was to my advantage and I used it,"Serena answered with

iciness to her voice.

 "You're an assassin,"stated Relena.

 Serena nodded and walked toward the door.

 "If you want. I will deal with the man's body. I'll just put

it in the forest and no one will know,"stated Serena.

 "No, I'll deal with it.  Get to your next class, you wouldn't

want to be late,"confirmed Relena.

 Serena nodded and walked out of the room and toward the next class.

 Relena sighed inwardly before piecing together on what to do.

*******************

 That following afternoon the five G-pilots were outside at the

park near the Academy.  It was a beautiful and bright, sunny day

where the birds tweeted and flew around.  A lake was in front

of where they sat down.  It was a small picnic they were having

packed with various amounts of food and unopened at the moment.

Quatre was setting the blanket with help from Trowa.  Wufie

then sat the three picnic baskets on it and started unpacking cups

and etc. with Heero helping out.  Duo was helping with that as well

once he arrived.

 "Alright...I think that's about it,"Quatre stated.

 "Alright! Food!!"exclaimed Duo with twinkles in his eyes at those said words.

 Wufie frowned and rolled his eyes at his statement.

 Duo sprang up and started for the food as they were unpacked but Wufie

held him down by his shoulders.

 "Hey! What?! Wu-man let me go!!!"Duo cried out.

 "Wait till they're all unpacked Maxwell! And don't call me

Wu-man!"Wufie said.

 This time Duo didn't say anything as he sat down, folding his arms

and muttering.

 Once the food was set and ready, they all ate and Duo had his smile

back on his face as he started chatting uncontrollably until Wufie

smacked him upside the head to shut him up.  Unfortunately, Wufie's

way to quiet the Shinigami pilot didn't work.

 Heero was under the shade of the tree and brought his laptop with

him, he took it out and started to hack into files and send virus

to other computers.  He tuned Duo's incessant nonsense mixed with

Quatre's pleads to stop this. Trowa was quiet but his features looked

as if he was trying to tune him out as well.  Wufie was starting to

get tired of this and Heero knew that sooner or later he will start

getting violent on Duo.

 

 Serena was in her room at the dorms typing until mail came for her. She

opened the e-mail and read the contents that lied within it.

 MOON:

   I want you to meet me at the nearby labratory today.  It's near the

Park over there.  I need to discuss something with you.

                                                                                                           

 Serena stared at the screen and then shut the computer off.  She

wondered what was going on but decided not to waste time any longer.

Serena Usagi got up and went over to the closet to get her black coat

before making her trip to the nearby labratory.

 She wore a dark red 3/4 shirt and blue jeans with her black

coat over her clothes.  Her golden hair was done in a braid with

black clips on the sides. She carried a usual gun on her with

one knife in her pocket.

 As she cut across the park she heard a wailing scream and 

an intimidating shout of threats that followed.  As she drew nearer,

Serena Usagi saw Duo running away from a shouting Wufie that followed

him with his fist raised high in the air. Serena wanted to

laugh but she knew that she shouldn't be showing any emotions.

(Trivial nonsense with those two.  I shouldn't be showing these

baka human emotions.  I am a perfect soldier! An assassin! Not some

weak onna!) Serena thought as she continued walking through the park.

 As she saw the two pilots pass by, she saw the other three pilots

on top of the hill close by.  She ignored them as she passed by

until Quatre came toward her with a smile on his face.

 "Hi Miss Tsukino! How are you?"greeted Quatre,"Won't you join us?

I believe there is some food left."

 Serena turned to face him with an indifferent look on her face.

 "Please Quatre don't call me with such formalities.  Just call me

by my name,"said Serena Usagi.

 "Okay...Serena,"said Quatre.

 "I can't stay for long.  I need to go somewhere,"Serena stated before

continuing on with her trip to the labratory.

 "A mission?" said Quatre.

 Serena Usagi didn't say anything but continued on walking, since she knows

full well that they aren't included in whatever Dr. J informed her about.

 

 Upon arrival of the labratory that Dr. J informed her about, Serena stared

directly at the small building.  It was barely recognizable.  It was a

small shack; a building or a labratory with worn down wood and peeling

paint hanging around.  As Serena Usagi walked closer to the building, she

put up a colder look before knocking on the door.  When no answer came,

she turned the knob and walked inside. 

 There were no lights except from the little that showed through from

the dirty windows and the opened door.  Looking around, the whole place

was highly disorganized but good enough to be in.  As Serena walked

inside, the only sound was the small echo of her black boots. Then a

small sound was heard toward the door to her right from across the

room.  Serena turned her head toward the place and pulled her coat

closer to her body before walking there with stealth.

 With one hand to her gun and the other to the doorknob, she quickly

opened the door and stuck her head in.  Dr. J stood there clicking his

mechanic hand as she looked at him from the doorway.  He smiled before

signalling her in.

 "You told me to come,"stated Serena in monotone.

 "I wanted to speak with you,"Dr. J replied and then turned toward the

desk next to him and opened a drawer and pressed and scratched at something

from that drawer. After several seconds, a small whirring noise

came and the desk went down to the ground replaced by a stairway.

 "Come with me,"Dr. J said before walking down the dark stairway.

 Serena followed him down the stairs and once there, there were a group

of people awaiting her.  They all looked at her in an interrogating

way that made her face harden more. Dr. J stood with that group, his

face impartial.  Another stood next to him that she knew, Dr. M, the

one person that she didn't feel up to talking to or seeing.

 "Serena Usagi Tsukino a.k.a Moon.  Age sixteen.  Born from Japan.

Nationality:  japanese.  Her family deceased which were Kenji Tsukino,

and Ikoku Tsukino.  Like 01 and yet different; both are the perfect

soldiers.  Cold, hard, hidden emotions, and gets the job done.  The

sixth gundum pilot and pilots the Lunarian Moon,"introduced Dr. J

to the others once she was at the bottom of the stairs.

 "Serena, these are my accomplices.  Dr. G, H, O, S, and you know

Dr. M.  They are a part of what I-we have to tell you,"Dr. J said.

 Serena regarded the doctors that he just presented. Dr. H  was a

short, plump, and round faced man with oily black hair and a thin

mustache.  Next to him was Dr. G who has a mushroom haircut with

a long nose and slightly stooped shoulders.  Slightly at the back

was Dr. O who stood above the others,  he was a tall and bald man

with a broad figure.  Next to Dr. J was Dr. S who almost rivaled the

height of Dr. O with gray hair that stood up his head and wore a

brown rubber mask that covered his nose.  Finally, there was Dr. M

who was almost hidden at the shadows near the wall.  She wore the

same white labcoat as the others with her hair done the same way

as always; in a type of a bob.  She wore dark green shirt covered by a

dark purple vest and matching pants.

 As Serena looked in back of the doctors.  It was dark as always

with some hanging lights all over the place.  The room(s) were large

and held various scientific objects all around on top or on the side

of the lab tables.  Computers lined the whole area with printers

and chemicals as well.

 "Dr. H is the maker of the Sandrock and you know that 04 pilots

it.  Dr. G is the maker of Deathscythe who trained 02.  Dr. O came

up with Shenlong and 05 pilots that. Dr. S is the creator of Heavyarms

piloted by 03.  I am the one who designed Wing Gundum and trained as

well as raised..."informed Dr. J.

 "..01.  I know,"intoned Moon as she reverted back to her soldier

self,"I believe that Dr. M designed the Lunarian Moon?"

 "Yes, that's right,"regarded Dr. J.

 "There is more to it than just telling you about us and the boys,

Moon.  Much more,"Dr. G spoke up.

 Moon's eyes stared at Dr. G as he spoke; waiting for what else he

had to say but turned when another spoke.

 "We believe that you should know something about your past,"Dr. H

said.

 Moon's facial expression turned from hard to intrigued as her eyebrows

raised a little bit.

 "Dr. H and Dr. O were part of Oz from long, long ago until they

switched to our side,"Dr. S said.

 "You weren't always with Dr. M at those early ages,"Dr. J said.

 "Hai, I know.  I can sort of remember....the house was broken in

and Oz soldiers came and killed.  I was taken away and two scientists

were in this room that I was in....they were talking to one

another..."Serena was back and closed her eyes as she struggled to

remember.

 "Dr. O and I were those scientists,"Dr. H informed,"We figured that

we would train you to be a perfect assassin; an experiment I would

say.  You would be a great experiment that we could mold into."

 "This lasted for several months until you turned into 1 1/2 years

old.  Trieze Khushrenada came around; he was still young.  About

eleven to thirteen.  His father was alive at the time and was with

Trieze.  Trieze doesn't know but his father does.  He saw the experiment

we performed and was quite supportive but told us to turn up the

training,"Dr. O picked up.

 "We did as we were told for awhile.  That is until, Dr. M came

and took you away and trained you herself.  By that time you were

two years old and didn't really remember everything that has

happened,"Dr. H ended.

 Serena listened to all that they said and took it all in.  Throughout

that time, she remembered and could almost feel the pain and suffering

all over again.  Some of the memories resurfaced but they would

be a bit blurry and indistinct.

 (What they said explains a lot about these memories...a whole lot.

Now I know what happened...what really happened.) Serena said inside

her mind.

 

To be continued....
