Chapter 5: All We Need is Light.
- Mercy Sisters Hospital,
Earth - Real Time -
A sigh escaped from Relena's lips
as her eyes snapped open and she shot forward in her hospital bed.
"I know…"
Heero stared concernedly at
her. "Relena, what?"
She fixed her gaze on her fiancé,
ignoring the sweat beads that had formed on her brow and her mussed up
hair. She took a few deep breaths before speaking in a whispered
tone. "I know where Bethany is." She gripped onto Heero's
hand, her eyes darting to and fro. "Get everyone here. I know
where she is." With that Relena shivered and lay back down, placing
her hands over her face.
Heero was about to protest, but
Relena grabbed his hand and looked at him pleadingly. "Hurry,
Heero. We don't have much time."
"Ok Relena." With
that he gently kissed her on the forehead and went outside to inform the
others.
"Relena what do you mean you
know where they are?" Hilde asked softly, trying not to sound sceptical.
Relena just nodded
impatiently. She was waiting for Quatre and Dorothy who were on a
different level of the hospital. She could feel Trowa's intense glare on
her. They had just informed her that Catherine and Midii had been
kidnapped as well. A whirl of feelings bubbled in her, as the dream
replayed itself in her mind. She hoped with all her heart that she was
right. For Dorothy's and Trowa's and everyone's sake, she hoped she was
right.
"Hi Relena."
Relena flicked her head to whoever
said that. She saw Dorothy and Quatre walk into her hospital room.
Now everyone was there. She shifted slightly on the bed, looking at Heero
for strength. She breathed in deeply before speaking, "I know where
they are." No one spoke as they waited for her to continue.
Ignoring the doubt that was creeping up on her, she forged on, "I keep
seeing this place in my dreams. It's Romefeller Headquarters.
I know it is. Dorothy, its one of the conference rooms." She
nodded eagerly to Dorothy. Subconsciously running a hand over her hair,
partly because of her frayed nerves and partly because she knew how 'wild' she
looked. "I kept seeing these two people arguing there. And
every time I would get close enough to see their faces, a green haze would overcome
me. The dream would repeat itself over and over. But then something
different happened at the end. I saw a building. It looked more
like a fortress/castle. It was in a grey place with weird tree stumps
surrounding it." Relena breathed in deeply again. "They're
there. I know it." Heero's grip on her hand tightened, as most
of the group realised what she was describing.
"How can you be so sure that
they are in this place?" asked Wufei.
Relena just fixed him with an
uneasy look. "I'm - I'm not positively sure but I - I just feel that
they're there." She looked at Dorothy for help and she got it.
"Relena…This place…this place
you see would be a perfect description of Subspace and the fortress we fought
the Darkness in…"
"So what are we going to do
now or do I really not want to know?" Duo asked, already resigned to the
fact that they would probably be risking their necks again to save the world.
"It’s the only lead we have
right now…I have an estate an hour away from here. We could be in
Subspace in little over an hour." Dorothy said, checking her watch
before giving a questioning look to everyone in the room. Trowa would
definitely come, along with Duo and Hilde. So would Wufei and
Sally. 'And I'm always here.' She smiled slightly at Quatre before
Heero's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"We're staying
here." Indicating himself and Relena.
She was about to nod in agreement
when Relena spoke up again.
"NO!"
The shout had stopped everyone from
shuffling out of the door. "No." Relena said in a calmer
voice. "I will not stay behind again. This is my idea.
I'm coming with you. I have the Green Power for God's sake!"
She haphazardly pushed the blankets away, unsteadily standing on the cold tiled
floor barefoot.
"Relena - "
"No Heero. I'm
going. The last time you went without me…" Relena shook her head,
staring defiantly at everyone. "Well? Come on. Lets
go."
**************************
- Subspace - Real Time -
Rubbing her tired eyes with grubby
hands, Bethany leaned her forehead on cool gundanium casing. She was on
her knees, fixing the components of the time machine. More specifically
she was making the pods where Catherine, Midii and a Black Council member would
be placed and their energy and soul would be sucked out of them to power the
machine. They were silver in colour, with a small viewing window.
It wasn't very roomy; a person would only be able to stand in it. On the
side were a series of buttons and a lever. The doors automatically locked
when pressure was added in the pod and it wouldn't open until the machine had
been used and turned off. Bethany leant back onto her legs. Three
days had passed in Subspace since Catherine and Midii had been brought
here. She looked wearily at her guards. Two of the Locandro
brothers stood there, watching her with a mix of hate and lust. She shook
involuntarily and turned her attention to the viewing pools that showed her
grandparents and older brother. They were still safe, for how long, Bethany
didn't know.
'Where are you Dorothy?' she
thought as she slowly pieced together the pod. She had already completed
two. The third one was nearly finished. After she finished it, all
she had to do was to connect the third pod to the time machine and it would work.
Well that's what she told Mario. In truth she had left vital part out of
the equation. No matter what time he would set, the machine was set to go
somewhere else. She had put it in 'random', like a CD player on 'shuffle'
the machine would end up in any time. She had tried to sabotage the pods,
since they were the truly dangerous components of the machine but Mario had
figured this out as well and had placed a sort of magical illness to her and
every time she didn't follow the blueprints, she would cough up blood.
After this happened several times, Mario had informed her that every time she
strayed, the Black Power would crush parts of her internal organs. The
Red Power she had in her was holding back death by massive internal bleeding but
if she pushed it anymore she would pass out and…Well she didn't really want to
think about dying now.
"Get up!" Adam
Locandro yelled at her, causing her to jump; her heart thumping in her
ears. He didn't wait for her as he roughly grabbed her and dragged her down
a blur of rooms and corridors in the dim light. Bethany was too tired to
fight back. Hell, she was too tired to even speak. They reached her
cell, and he forcefully shoved her forward, narrowly avoiding knocking her
unconscious when her head thumped against the opposite wall. He grinned
evilly at her before slamming the door shut.
Bethany just fell to the ground in
a heap, her eyes closed, her mind already asleep. They would get her
again in an hour. Maybe less. After nine days of countless beatings,
pressure and the hopelessness of the situation; Bethany could feel her spirit -
her resolve - shatter. A tear slid down her face and landed silently on
the cold, dank floor.
Mario Luciano Sr hummed tunelessly
as he reached the cell of one of the Gatekeepers. He dissipated the magic
around it and the door swung open, allowing dim light to stream through.
"It's time for you to be useful." He smirked as he held the
girl in mid air using the Black Power. Unlike his minions he had absolute
control over his powers. He didn't bother physically hurting them.
Why do that when you could destroy them with a look? He smirked as the
girl was bodily thrown to the floor and was dragged behind him by invisible
hands. They reached the chosen destination and he threw the girl next to
the other Gatekeeper.
Midii bit down hard on her tongue,
drawing blood as she felt and heard her arm snap. A broken arm was the
least of her problems. A few metres away from her, was something that
looked like a pool. She struggled valiantly to her knees and saw Cathie
stir next to her. "Cathie. Cathie!"
"Urgh…Midii?"
Catherine rolled onto her side, pushing upwards on the palms of her
hands. When she saw Midii's injury she immediately forgot about the pain
her body was in and tried to help Midii.
"Oohh…How
touching." With that Mario raised his hand towards them and
Catherine felt a tightening around her neck as an invisible force pushed her
backwards.
"AHH!" She screamed
as she was dragged backwards into the pool of whirling colours.
Midii tried to grab onto Cathie but
was flung back against the wall, her arm dangling at a dangerous angle.
Cathie continued to scream until she was fully submerged into the pool that was
now glowing different colours.
"Cathie!" Midii
tried again to move forward but a force was pinning her against the wall.
"No! Cathie!"
Mario laughed and raised his other
hand above his shoulder. Midii stopped screaming in mid-word when she saw
Catherine. She was dangling in mid-air over the pool, glowing every
conceivable colour. Mario flicked his wrist and Catherine hurtled towards
the opposite wall, landing with a thud but the glow didn't lessen. He
grinned at Midii.
"Once you get into that pool,
your arm will be as good as new." He laughed again. "But
you'll be dead soon after."
Before Midii had a chance to breath
out she was flung into the pool headfirst. She expected cold water to
rush up into her nose and mouth but that wasn't the sensation. It wasn't
cold. It wasn't even water. She could see it clearly, colours
whirling all around her. A sense of peace and calm came over her as it
washed over her.
Mario stared in surprise at the
pool. The colours were amalgamating into one colour. Gold.
****************************
- Luxemburg,
Earth - Real Time -
Dorothy hid her surprise at finding
the portal to Subspace open. Everyone was in her country estate's
underground base.
"The Black Council must have
opened all the portals, since they're the only family left."
"Ok. Question?" Duo
waved his arms about, getting everyone's attention. "We're fighting
the Black Council but they're not the Darkness, right?"
Dorothy nodded. "The
Black Council, from what I know from the ancient scriptures, are superior in
stealth, in being able to hide and attack you by surprise. They draw
their powers from the dark but not from the Darkness." Looking
around the room at the confused faces she sighed and continued. "The
Darkness is nothingness. It is what would be after the End. The
Black Council is night. Their powers are superior in the Night, which is
dark. They can control the night, but their counterbalance was Gold,
which had Light, hence the world could never be placed in eternal Night because
of the Gold Power." This seemed to confuse everyone even more but Duo
picked up on the important part.
"But you don't have the Gold
Power. Everyone who did have the Gold Power got blown up! What the
hell are we going to use to fight against them?!" Duo didn't like the
cloudy look that entered Dorothy's eyes.
She searched the underground base,
mumbling something, turning towards the screens and punching in a few keys on
the control panel.
"What was that? I didn't
quite hear you." Duo replied, already having a feeling of what
Dorothy was about to say.
One of the screens slid sideways to
reveal a room with enough artillery and ammunition to blow up a colony.
Dorothy turned back to everyone. "I don't know, Duo. The last
time Council members fought each other they nearly destroyed the world.
AND back then both sides had the ability to wield the Power." She motioned
to herself and Relena. "I can't seem to control the flow of the Red
Power and I doubt Relena can wield the Green Power freely. Therefore
we're going to have to fight like humans." She pointed to the
artillery room. "We'll need three people in the control room, in
case…in case something goes wrong so you can close all the portals."
'Dorothy no! There's got
to be a better way.' Quatre gave her
a pleading look.
'Quatre, there isn't any other
way besides to fight them. They took Bethany. They tried to kill
us. Now they have Catherine and Midii for some reason I don't know
about!' She huffed angrily, ignoring
the others who were watching the two have a silent argument like morbid
spectators.
'It would be near suicide to
just go into Subspace without any plans at all.' Quatre reasoned.
Sighing again, but the anger was
leaving her, Dorothy replied, 'True. We should go in there with a
plan.' Turning her attention back to everyone else, she was about to repeat
what she had said before when Sally spoke up.
"What just happened
there?"
Dorothy closed her eyes and rubbed
her fore and middle fingers against the bridge of her nose.
"We can communicate
telepathically." Quatre gave a sheepish smile.
"Explain everything
later." Trowa interjected. Staring at the whirling portal with cold,
hard eyes.
Duo muttered something about being
the first to know that when Dorothy finally repeated her statement.
"We are going to need three people
to stay behind."
"I'll stay."
Everyone stared in shock at
Wufei. "What?" He huffed. "I'm the strongest back up
you'll have."
Sally rolled her eyes and stifled a
giggle. "I'll stay back too. I've operated one of these
before."
Hilde nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. Me too. It'll be better if someone who knows how to use
this," She waved her hand about the lab, "equipment. We'd be
better prepared." Duo gave her an affectionate squeeze and was about
to whisper something in her ear when a 'no' was grunted.
"Heero!"
"No, Relena. You're not
going to Subspace." Heero glared at his fiancée. Why was she
trying to get herself killed?
Relena glared back at him.
"Heero. I have the Green Power - "
"Which you don't know how to
use."
"Yes but - "
"No Relena."
Relena opened and closed her mouth
for a few moments, before taking a step towards him, never breaking the eye
contact. "Yes Heero." With that she pushed him with all
her might, dashing to the portal and jumping through it. Heero recovered
quickly from the shock of Relena bodily pushing him and ran after her,
disappearing into the swirling portal.
"Well. That was
different." Duo said to no one in particular.
Dorothy swore under her
breath. "Hurry everyone! We need to get into the portal now
before a minute goes by! If it does we won't be in the same place as
Heero and Relena!" A mild rush ensued as the four left to go into
Subspace grabbed a weapon, a communicator and jumped into the portal.
"Is it just me or do I feel
impending doom breathing down my neck?" Hilde murmured to Sally.
Sally just shook her head and sat
on one of the swivel chairs, smiling at Wufei who was trying to figure out the
control panel.
"Just try not to press any of
the red blinking buttons, Wufei."
*****************************
- Subspace - Real Time
-
Mario took a step back as the Pool
was now completely Gold. Catherine stood up shakily, as the power now
stored in her responded to the Gold emanating from the Pool. A sense of happiness
overrode the pain she had been feeling. Then she saw Midii.
Catherine dimly wondered if this was how the Goddess Aphrodite was born.
Midii rose up from the Pool, a cloak of Gold 'water' surrounded her; light was
literally pouring out of her. The room was a brilliant Gold colour, as
Midii opened her eyes, her normally blue orbs a dazzling shade of Gold.
Catherine felt like she was in a trance but a Black force hurtled towards
Midii, causing the place to blink rapidly between Dark and Light. The
explosion of two different Powers threw Catherine backwards but not enough to
throw her against the wall.
Mario cursed. 'Don't be
stupid', he thought, 'Hitting the Pool will just cause my Powers to
rebound.' Gritting his teeth, and spitting in Midii's direction, he stood
up about to teleport for reinforcements when he realised he still had one ace
up the hole. Gathering up all his Power he aimed it at Midii who was
gathering Power around herself for a shield, at the last second when he held
too much Power he shifted sharply shooting it at Catherine. Midii
realising too late, desperately shot out Gold Power in Catherine's
direction. Another explosion of Power shook the foundations of the
fortress, Mario being thrown back while Midii remained unscathed since the Pool
made her Power almost invincible. Both looked in the direction of where
Catherine was. The wall had crumbled along with four walls behind
it. No trace of Catherine. Midii stared in horror, as Mario laughed
before disappearing.
"No…" Midii fell back
into the Pool, the brilliant Gold colour turning darker, as Midii's mood
dictated. "No…" Cathie was gone. It was all her
fault. Oh God, Trowa. I'm so sorry. She began to sob, the
Pool getting darker still. She needed to get out of here. Away from
this place. Some place safe…The Pool whooshed slightly, Gold Power
filling Midii until she disappeared completely.
Relena couldn't believe she had
done that to Heero. Well there was a first for everything. She
stumbled slightly in the dimly lit corridor, a hand leant against the walls for
balance. She reached an alcove and she leant against the wall to catch
her breath from the flat out running she had endured. There was something
in this place that was calling her. Beckoning her to enter. The
headaches had disappeared, now that she had stopped running.
"Relena."
Standing in the entrance of the
alcove was Heero, no sign of strain from running after her. 'Mental note
to self: do exercise.' Relena thought as Heero glared at her.
"Come on. We're going
back." He didn't wait for her reply as he lifted her up in a
fireman's carry and walked back to where they had run from.
"Heero! Put me
down!" She thumped him on the chest, which he ignored dutifully but
then she tried wriggling out of his grasp and he didn't want to hurt her so he
placed her back on the ground.
"Why are you doing this,
Relena?"
Relena closed her eyes; she didn't
want to see Heero's hurt expression. He only wanted to protect her and
she was running into portals because of some hallucinatory dream she kept
having. She opened them again, an apologising smile on her
face. "I'm sorry Heero. It's just that…I - I feel like I
should be here. It's difficult to explain but - " She stopped in
mid-sentence as her headaches came back in full force. Her ability to
stand deserted her and she collapsed, Heero collecting her in his arms.
"Relena!
Relena!" He grunted, as he shifted her dead weight into a carry
position again. He walked briskly, retracing his steps back to the portal…and
nearly walked into a wall. Heero's eyes widened as the corridor's walls
shifted all around him. He turned 360 degrees before heading towards the
only exit that was left, his grip on Relena tightening ever so slightly.
A desk was thrown against a wall.
Mario closed his eyes and the desk exploded. He had now lost both
Gatekeepers. 'Stupid!' He'd sent four Black Council members into
the Pool to get that Gold brat but she had vanished. They couldn't sense
her. It was painful to sense a Power that could makes yours null and
void. "The machine."
Mario's body calmed as he heard the
voices of his master. Yes, the time machine. He needed to get
Power to operate it. Simple. Get three of his idiotic cronies in
the pods. He knew the machine hadn't been completed yet. A
thought of using Bethany to power up the machine crossed his mind.
"No."
Mario shook his head. Of
course. Right. If he brought Bethany into the Pool, the scenario
that had been played out with that blasted Gatekeeper would happen again.
Only it would be the Red Power. He didn't have the Power to fight
that. He needed all four of the other Powers to counter the Red. He
smirked at that. I shouldn't have blown them all up then. He shook
his head, trying to clear his thoughts. Then he felt it. A weird
sensation washed over him. The voices of his master had gone strangely
quiet. Dorothy was here. They had finally come.
"Oh crap." The
three with Duo silently agreed on his statement. Behind them the portal
had vanished, gone to a different part of Subspace and in front of them were
seven corridors. "E-ni, me-ni, my-ni, mo." Duo pointed to
the corridor closest to his left. "I'll go down here." He
ran a few metres down the corridor, speaking into his communicator, "You guys
can hear me right?"
Trowa answered for the group and
pointed to the corridor closest to his right. "I'll take that
one." He nodded to Dorothy and Quatre before jogging down into the
dimly lit corridor.
'I guess we'll go down the
middle one.' Quatre laced his fingers
around Dorothy's as they walked cautiously down the hallway.
'This place is reeking with the
old powers.' Dorothy looked at her now
glowing red hand. 'I wonder if Bethany can sense me?'
Quatre squeezed Dorothy's other
glowing hand. 'If she can sense you, the Black Council would probably be
able to sense you as well.'
'I need to figure out how to use
these powers!' She sighed in frustration
as the red glow disappeared, the corridor darkening once again.
'When you healed Cathie, what
were you thinking about?' asked Quatre
suddenly.
Dorothy was about to answer when
the long dark corridor suddenly narrowed, the walls around them slowly moving
towards them.
'Run!'
Trowa felt the hairs on the back of
his neck stand up. He whirled around pointing his gun to whoever was
there. He almost dropped it when he saw Midii, glowing gold and shaking
in a foetal position on the floor.
"Midii! Midii! Are
you ok?" He asked softly, lifting her up gently, so he could see her
face better. A lump developed in his throat, as he saw her face, streaked
with tears, her eyes were swollen and red with a strange gold tint around
them. She stared up into his piercing emerald eyes and sobbed. He
hugged her to his chest, Midii grabbing his clothing tightly to her as she
cried. It took Trowa a few moments to realise that she was mumbling
something into his shirt. Gently distancing him from her, so he could
hear what she was saying, he stared at her beautiful face, no matter how pained
it was.
"What is it Midii?"
Midii's eyes grew wide in
fear. Fresh tears ran down her smooth face as she mumbled, broken sobs
causing her to hiccup what she was saying. "I'm - sor - sorry. I'm
so - sorry. Trowa. Trow-a. I -m sorry." She leaned
back into Trowa's embrace, sobbing. The Gold Power had dulled around her,
as grief overtook her. The Power had amplified her emotions; she had only
known Cathie for a few weeks but she didn't just cry for her. All the
pain she had felt over the years - losing her family, betraying people that
cared for her, becoming someone she loathed, poured out of her, the Power
feeding on her emotions. She was apologising for everything and everyone.
Trowa rocked her to and fro,
wordlessly comforting her; he had lost himself when he touched her. Her effect
on him was so strong. 'What would Cathie do in this situation?' He
thought, when reality hit him. Cathie. His sister. Where was
she?
"Midii, Midii. Come
on. We have to find Cathie." He whispered in her ear, stroking her
hair comfortingly.
The sounds of weeping stopped so
abruptly, for a spilt second Trowa thought Midii had stopped breathing.
He cradled her head in his hands, searching her face for answers. He
could see it in her eyes. No. His mind repeated that one word over
and over. His hands dropping to his side as he stared into those blue
orbs in disbelief. No. No.
Midii wiped the bothersome tears
away from her face. "Trowa. I'm-I'm sorry. I couldn't
save her."
*******************************
- Luxemburg, Earth - Real
Time -
"What is it reading?"
Sally and Hilde turned to look at what Wufei was pointing at. Where Wufei
was standing, the screen had begun to show an oscilloscope, the line jumping up
and down in an alarming fashion.
"Oh no, this can't be
good…" murmured Hilde as all of the screens showed the oscilloscope.
A hissing sound originated from the
portal. Then a high-pitched tone vibrated the room. A loud crack
was heard and the screen closest to the portal exploded, broken glass spitting
everywhere.
"Get down!" Wufei
yelled, lying on top of Sally to protect her from the shower of broken glass.
"The portal's closing!"
Hilde yelled above the noise, her hands firmly placed between her ears.
Wufei and Sally stared in shock as the portal hissed to a close. The
sound subsided, leaving a ringing in their ears and all the electrical
equipment was either on fire or sparking up. Smoke rose to the ceiling
and the sprinklers turned on, drenching everything in water.
Hilde grabbed the communicator she
had placed in her pocket and hurriedly spoke into it. "Duo!
Duo! Can you hear me?! Duo!"
The only reply was static.
She tried again and again, ignoring the small cuts she had received from flying
broken glass.
Sally surveyed the wreck that was
an underground base, with a calm she had acquired through years of
training. "Is anything working?" The sprinklers
automatically turned off, as the smoke dissipated. She walked carefully
through the glass and examined the control panels. Small sparks appeared
here and there and the screens were definitely not going to be working.
"We need to open the
portal." Wufei's obsidian eyes bore into her.
"I agree. Do you have
any bright ideas?" She asked, sucking her finger that had just received a
little jolt of electricity.
Wufei came up to her and held her
hand. "Be careful, onna." A small smile lit both their
faces.
"Is anything
working?" Hilde asked, giving up on trying to contact the others through
the communicator.
"Well let's find
out." With that the trio glumly looked at the control panels and
began to work.
******************************
- Subspace - Real Time
-
Heero walked down another long,
dark corridor. He had been walking for hour an hour already and Relena
was still unconscious. 'Damn! I'm going around in circles!' he
swore under his breath and headed towards another alcove. He carefully
shifted Relena in his arms, ignoring the numbness he felt at the tips of his
fingers. He gazed at her sleeping form, mentally trying to coax her out
of her slumber. 'Come on Relena. Please, wake up.'
Relena stirred slightly in his
arms. Heero gently placed her on the ground, cradling her head in his
lap. "Relena. Relena, please wake up." the tone of his
voice uncharacteristically soft.
Relena's eyes fluttered opened,
cloudy aquamarine looking up at alert Prussian blue. "Heero? I -
I."
"Shh. Can you
stand?"
She nodded drowsily, using Heero as
a crutch; his arm around her waist and holding onto her hand that was draped
over his shoulders. They slowly made their way down the corridor, Relena
leaning heavily against Heero; the headaches had dulled but she focussed all
her energy at the spot in front of her.
"Well, well. What do we
have here?"
The headaches began to throb again
as Heero stood in front of her, protecting her from the voice. Heero
glared at the black-clad man. On the way to Dorothy's estate he had
memorised the faces of all the Black Council members. It wasn't Alessio;
it was Steven Locandro.
The man smirked at him as he
gathered Power around him. "This is going to be fun."
It was very bright. She
shifted her weight to her side and pushed upwards with her arms and then
hands. She stood on shaky legs but still walked forward a step. All
she could see was a lot of light. Her eyes adjusted to the brightness
allowing her to open her eyes a little instead of squinting. Another step
forward and her legs were steadying. She didn't know where she was going
but moving felt better than waiting for someone to find her. She stumbled
on top of something on the ground, causing her to fall forward, her arms saving
her from slamming her nose down on the floor. She turned to look at what
had tripped her legs and screamed. Catherine was looking at a dead body.
