Gundam Wing: Raptures of Paradise
Chapter 24---------- Revelations
By Sailor Celaeno

Relena soon woke up in a room that was well furnished. It was like
no prison she could have ever pictured herself being in. "Are you alright?" Rose
asked her.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. But I'm just worried
about Heero. I hope they didn't hurt him too much. I know he'll be okay, but I
don't like to see him get hurt because of me."
"He's a strong man. He can take care of himself. But you realize
your position now. We're in their hands and they could do just about anything to
get me."
"Rose, you're far more important than me. I'm going to resist as
long as I can, but it's going to be very hard for me."
"No Relena. You've done more than enough. It's about time that I do
what I can to save you and your loved ones. You've shown such strength. It's
that strength that has made me powerful enough to fight. When you need me, I'll
give you that power."
Midii soon appeared at the doorway. "It must be very strange having
a second person inside of your head telling you who knows what."
"Midii. I certainly didn't want to believe that you were involved in
all of this business. Now I see that I can't deny facts when I see them so very
clearly in front of me. Are you willing to kill more innocent people for all of
this?"
"Miss Relena, you should understand that nothing in this life comes
without a price. I had to give up a lot to save my family. I don't think that
you realize that I'm in too deep to get out. After all, even if the Negaverse is
defeated, I'm going to be in more trouble than ever. There's no reason for me to
turn back."
"Aren't you in-love with Trowa? Couldn't he be your reason to turn
back?" asked Relena.
Midii paused for a moment. "Trowa? What would he have to do with
this? After all, he doesn't care what happens to me. After all, he wants me far
from him and Cathy. It's better off this way."
Relena couldn't let Midii continue thinking the way she was
thinking. "Trowa fought and nearly killed himself to make the world better for
people like Cathy who have suffered too long. Are going to take away that from
him and people like Cathy? You'd only be selfish Midii Une. And that can't
possibly be the sort of person you are inside. You couldn't be so cruel and
heartless if you had a family that you gave everything to help."
Midii turned and began to walk away. She was on the verge of crying.
"Perhaps that was the old Midii. But she's long gone."
Relena called out, "I don't think she is. She's still inside of
you." Then the door closed and locked.

Esmeralda stared at the mirrors in her house. "Oh Quatre I've done
something very bad today. I wish I could take it all back, but that it far
beyond my abilities."
"I don't believe that Esmeralda. You just think that you're going to
Hell." Esmeralda looked up and saw her mother in the mirror. Her mother, her
conscience. "Quatre has been such a good friend to you my little girl. He'll
forgive you. Believe in that my dear daughter. Believe in that."
She knew exactly what to do. She had one choice left now. She would
betray her fellow Raptures.

Quint couldn't quite be certain what she should do now. Her mission
was to infiltrate them and find out their technological advances and help Midii
ruin their chances. Now she was hopelessly caught. She found herself less and
less able to complete this mission. Hilde and Duo were two very friendly and
caring people. "How can I possibly try doing any of this to them? Their my
friends--- no… they're Marie's friends. They're not Quint's friends. Quint is
their enemy."
Hilde noticed Quint staring sadly at the walls of her cubicle.
"Marie? Is something wrong?"
"Hilde? Oh Hilde. Tell me something?"
"Anything! If I can help you somehow."
"What would you do if you were told to do something to people, but
you can't do it."
Hilde stared blankly. "I don't understand."
"God, Hilde. I don't like hiding the truth from you and Duo and your
friends. I don't think I can continue with this charade. It's been bothering me
for days," Quint started crying.
Hilde began to feel panicky inside. "Marie, what's wrong with you?"
Quint sniffed and held out her arms. "Hilde. I'm surrendering to
you. I confess I'm a Rapture."
Hilde was stunned, but she soon pulled out her handcuffs and
arrested her new friend. Despite her feelings, protocol called her to do this.
"Oh Marie," Hilde said softly. The two young women walked down the hallway with
people gaping in absolute shock.

It was a few hours later, Quint sat in a holding cell. Hilde, Duo,
Wufei and Sally walked in and stared at Quint for a few short moments. "Who'd
think that we had a Rapture working and socializing this close?" glared at her.
He couldn't help but remember the insanity that they had caused. Many people
laid in the hospitals, drained of their energy.
"Since she voluntarily surrendered, she won't get into as much
trouble as she would if we caught her," replied Sally.
"I don't see why. After all, my mission was to infiltrate Preventers
and find out how much resource capabilities that you have in tracking us. I must
say, you are better than we had anticipated. But you still don't stand a single
chance," Quint said softly.
"So, Marie. What can we do to help you out? I mean, you may be
working for the bad guys, it doesn't mean that I hate you. Hilde feels the same
way too," Duo proclaimed. He had to admit that the short weeks that he had been
working and been around Quint, he had grown fond of her.
Quint smiled slightly at him. "That's sweet of you to say Duo. I
wish I wasn't so rotten, otherwise I wouldn't feel so unworthy of your
kindness."
"Well as part of your plea bargain, you agreed to help us beat the
other Raptures. Well what can you tell us?" asked Hilde.
"Yes woman. Tell us what you know and there won't be any need to be
harsh with you," Wufei added with strained politeness.
"Fine. For starters, you're already too late. Relena is being
prepared for the ceremony. It should take place in a few hours. By then, it'll
be too late for her," Quint sighed.
"What ceremony?!" asked Hilde with surprise.
"Now that Tempest has been released, she took over Ava-- I mean
Kari's body. The whole thing happened because Tempest needed energy to break
free from the prison dimension. However she needed more power to control the
whole takeover operation. So she picked Kari as her avatar, the host body that
will let her exist physically once again."
"This is getting more insane by the minute! What else is there?" Duo
exclaimed incredulously.
"The ceremony will reunite Hecate with her sister. Once that happens
Eternal Winter will erupt over the planet and everyone on this planet will lose
their energy to feed Tempest. She will have control of all her victims and she
can attack Crystal Tokyo. If Proserpine won't join willingly, then Relena will
have to die," concluded Quint.
"How can we stop her?" asked Sally.
"It's not going to be easy. You're going to have to fight her and
the small army they already have. Combined forces of energy victims and
Negaverse creatures. They only way to stop it is to re-imprison them."
"Where's this ceremony being held?" asked Hilde.
"I'll give you the coordinates. You have only 24 hours before they
begin. Tempest has to get used to being inside of Kari and learn to control her
powers first."

Lucrezia was in the operation room. It was necessary to perform an
emergency caesarian to save the baby. Milliardo couldn't help but fell angry and
worried about his wife and daughter. He felt angry at not being able to help
either of them. It was a strong chance that Anastasia could die before she even
took a breath. "Damnit! I could have done something." He felt helpless that the
three women of his life were all in grave danger and he was stuck unable to do
anything to help any of them.
Heero felt obligated for Noin's and Relena's sakes to be at the
hospital. He knew neither women would appreciate Zechs falling apart. "Zechs--
you are a man who has seen and felt much sorrow. You have managed to rise above
and beyond those trying times. Don't start falling into pieces. Relena and Noin
wouldn't like it if they saw you like that. They need your strength to guide
them. To do anything less would be selfish."
Milliardo turned to his one-time adversary. "I have to admit. You're
right Yuy. I suppose it's just as well coming from the one person that would
dare love Relena. Even though her brother was once known as the lightning
count." He had to give Heero a slight smirk.
"Hn---" was all Heero replied with.
"It's just as well that we have that fact open and clear. After all,
it's as obvious to anyone that you care about her a great deal. And it's no
secret that she has felt that way for such a long time now. I won't say that I
disprove of this in anyway. Despite our former relationship, I don't have
anything against you Heero Yuy. After all, I don't think I could find anything
objectionable about you. Relena and Noin trust you very much, and I don't think
I can argue with either one about that."
"I see Zechs. I suppose I'll appreciate the compliment since you
don't always trust people," Heero nodded.
"Mostly because I can count on you to watch Relena when I can't,"
Zechs replied when he soon saw a doctor approaching out the corner of his eye.
"Mr. Peacecraft. I have to be frank with you. Your wife is perfectly
well. She's still sedated from surgery," said the surgeon.
"And my daughter?" asked Milliardo.
"Anastasia is in intensive care. Except that she was born too early,
she's healthy. However, she hasn't finished developing. It's necessary for her
to be in an incubator for the next several weeks. It's very important that her
condition is monitored."
Zechs nodded as the surgeon gave him more details about Lucrezia and
Anastasia. Heero also made note to remember the information as well. Relena
would like to know once he and the others found her and rescued her. He glanced
at the clock. "Anastasia Elizabeth Peacecraft. Born February 23, A.C. 198. 5:40
p.m."

It was five hours later. The five former Gundam pilots were around
the perimeter of the Rapture compound. Quint had given them as much information
as she knew about their security system. "Hn… she said that it's possible they
changed their security detail. No doubt they heard she betrayed them," said
Heero.
"Well they may have changed where everyone is and the number of
guards, but the general layout should still be the same. Even though they've
gotten 7 hours to make changes, they couldn't have been able to make many
alterations to their whole security," pointed Duo.
"That maybe true Duo. However, I don't like the way things look,"
added Trowa.
"Halt!" Four guns cocked. They looked up to see Esmeralda and Midii
holding guns towards their faces. The only one that wasn't aimed at was Quatre,
but he wouldn't dare do anything to risk getting his friends shot. They followed
the two women. They passed by the security guards.
"How were you able to detect us?" asked Quatre.
"We have our ways," smirked Midii. After a few minutes of walking,
they arrived at the front of a highly secure area. "We're here to bring these
prisoners."
"Ma'am," saluted the guard. They unlocked the heavily secured doors.
When suddenly, Midii kicked the guard and knocked him out. Esmeralda made quick
work of the other.
"Well, what are you five standing there for? Move!" shouted
Esmeralda.
"What are you women up to?" glared Wufei.
"If you want to save Relena, and stop Tempest, then get in!" Midii
barked back as she spied for other guards.
They entered the room. It was well furnished and the pilots were
motioned to take a seat. "Believe us boys, this is the last bit of comfort
you're going to feel," Esmeralda said as she locked the doors. Soon Midii and
Esmeralda sat opposite the Preventer agents.
"Just what are you two up to?" asked Heero.
"I'll make this very clear, and quick. We have only three minutes
before the guards realize what happened. It's very simple to understand. Emsie
and I are going to help you save your Vice-foreign minister and defeat those
Negaverse monsters," smirked Midii again.
