Neo Gundam Wing - OVA -
Episode 9 - Second Thoughts
Acht turned over in his bed and looked at the clock. It was six in the morning and already voices could be heard ringing through the hallways. He went to the door and attempted to listen in to the conversation going on.
Haruka: He's okay right?
Duet: He's wounded badly but he's still
alive.
Haruka: Good now we just need to figure out who the hell pulled this
crap though I think I have a good idea who I'm going to start with.
Duet: You
don't mean...
Haruka: He's the only one here with the motive to do something
like this.
Duet: I know they have trouble talking and all but I doubt he'd go
this far and do this.
Haruka: He was also the only one with Ling at the time
and since we don't know the actual details he's the only one left to
blame.
Duet: And if you're wrong?
Haruka: Then something is going on
behind our backs. I'm going to wake him up don't tell any of the other kids
about this we don't need them to panic.
Duet: As if they aren't smart enough
to figure things out by their selves.
Haruka: I'm serious, Duet.
Duet: And
I am too. We can't keep doing these things. We just can't go on telling them
everything is fine. They're going to find out about everything if we tell them
or not.
Haruka: Duet... Just go.
Acht backed away from the door and looked around.
Acht: The hell is going on now... *gets up and leaves the room to go to
Trina's room* Hey Trina! *shakes her* Trina wake up girl. *shakes her even
harder* Gosh you sleep like a log! Quatrina! WAKE UP!
Trina: *rolls over and
mumbles* Achty, go away...
Acht: I got something to tell you.
Trina:
*opens her eyes and gives him a glare* I'm tired Acht so whatever it is it
better be good.
Acht: Yeah well it sounds like Shen tried to kill his
dad.
Trina: What?! Why would Shen do that?
Acht: I don't have a clue but
Haruka seems to think he did it.
Trina: When did you hear this?
Acht: Just
a few minutes ago. Haruka just went to talk to Shen about this. Though with the
way things sound there's no way he's going to clear his name for this.
Trina:
But there has to be a mistake. Shen wouldn't do that.
Acht: Hey I'm just
giving the facts here. Ling was found pretty much half dead this morning and the
only one that we could even think about pointing fingers at is Shen.
Trina:
But how could Shen do that? Ling-sama would've caught him before he even tried
that not to mention Shen was badly hurt so he couldn't have done that.
Acht:
*shrug* It sounds like this is going to be a strange one this time. Oh yeah I
talked to... *shudder* Kaze last night.
Trina: What did you talk
about?
Acht: About the stuff going on with Quat and that gundam. Seems like
someone died in there we just don't know who it was but it had to be someone
related to you two.
Trina: Papa never said anything about us having any
relatives besides our grandparents and uncles on my mother's side.
Acht: Then
basically he didn't have any siblings.
Trina: Yup.
Acht: *sighs* This just
keeps getting stranger... There's got to be something missing here... Your
father couldn't have been the one that was killed in that gundam but it seems
only those within his bloodline can pilot Sandstorm.
Trina: Perhaps that's
what I keep feeling around Sandstorm then.
Acht: What do you mean?
Trina:
When I'm around Sandstorm stuff happens that's all.
Acht: Stuff? What kind of
stuff?
Trina: It's really nothing, Acht.
Acht: You don't know that. It
could be just the information we need to piece together this puzzle.
Trina: I
don't want to talk about it.
Acht: Ah well... I respect that decision... I
know you'll tell me when you're ready to.
Trina: You know me a little too
well, Achty.
Acht: I should! I've lived with you most of my life.
Trina:
Ten years.
Acht: Ten years... Gosh, it's been that long? We've been alive for
this long...
Trina: Knowing that we might died the next day. It's a horrible
life for someone our age to live.
Acht: Someone our age? Everyone lives like
this. Well... on Earth.
Trina: I hear things in my head.
Acht:
Huh?
Trina: I hear things... in my head. It's not like normal voices it's
like... something else...
Acht: Like what?
Trina: Well when I'm around
Sandstorm I hear things in my head. It's not very good.
Acht: What does it
say?
Trina: Things...about killing someone. Wondering why they left it there.
Why it can't get out.
Acht: Is Sandstorm saying that?
Trina: No...Someone
else. I think it's the person you were talking about, the one that died inside
of Sandstorm.
Acht: Whoa. That's something I didn't expect to hear.
Trina:
Well lately I haven't heard anything while I'm around Sandstorm that would also
explain what Rena told me.
Acht: Wow she actually speaks in more than one
sentence that doesn't deal with kicking someone's ass?!
Trina: She does have
other things to talk about you just act like a kid around her too much to even
listen.
Acht: Hey I think I'm acting very mature! Especially for this
situation! I just want to lighten you dull people up.
Trina: You're reasons
change everyday.
Acht: Eh... Anyways you were going to tell me
something.
Trina: Only if you stop making fun of Rena.
Acht: That's like
my entertainment.
Trina: *stare*
Acht: Eh.. Okay I'll stop but can I do it
every once in awhile? You know, to lighten the mood a bit.
Trina: Only
then.
Acht: Alright! Now, on to what you have yet to tell me.
Trina: Rena
told me that the night that she and Quat--
Acht: *cough*
Had*cough*Sex*cough*
Trina: That's a bad cough you have there Acht.
Acht:
It's ok. *grins* Go on.
Trina: The night she and Quat were
together--
Acht: Is that what they call it now... *raises an eyebrow*
Trina: Achty!
Acht: Okay! Okay! Go on.
Trina: To get straight to they
point... They saw a ghost.
Acht: Always knew this place had spooks in
it.
Trina: Well this ghost asked for my father.
Acht: Your father?
Why?
Trina: I don't know...
Acht: Then that ghost must be connected to
that gundam then.
Trina: Then whatever was in the gundam is out in the open
now. Quat...
Acht: What about Quat?
Trina: Well... Quat sees
ghost.
Acht: Eh? Ghost? Since when? Why doesn't anyone else know about
this?
Trina: Quat's been able to see ghost since we were little but mom and
dad just assumed he was just afraid of the dark. I believed him of course but
mom told me not to encourage him to think that there were such things as ghosts
and monsters. It only got worse when we came here. He wanted to tell someone but
he knew that no one would believe him anyways that's why he'd always come to me
if he saw something. He stopped doing that a few months ago. I don't know why
but I'm worried even more than before because of his incident inside of
Sandstorm. I wish I knew what was wrong with him and why Haruka-sama locked him
up in that room. All he does is talk to himself.
Acht: Don't worry about it.
I'm sure he's okay.
Trina: There's just so much going on around here I just
don't know what to do.
Acht: Hey now I'll figure all of this out and pretty
soon everything will be back to normal.
Trina: Normal... Do we even know what
normal is?
Shen groaned as Haruka continued to ask questions pertaining to the incident last night. An hour had past already and Haruka hadn't received any new information from the boy.
Shen: Look I'm telling you I went straight to my room after that crap besides
I wouldn't care too much if he killed himself.
Haruka: I'm not saying it was
you--
Shen: Yes you are. It's because you don't have any one else to blame.
For all you know he could've done it himself!
Haruka: And why would he do
that?
Shen: To get rid of me, why else? He doesn't like me you know
that.
Haruka: I know that but I also know the feeling is the same from
you.
Shen: So you actually think I'd try to kill my father? I wouldn't be
that low. I hate the bastard but seriously.
Haruka: Well I don't know
anything about what happened between you two outside of here so I can only
assume the worse.
Shen: Assuming is the worst thing.
Haruka: Well until we
get this cleared up I'll have to have you confined to your room.
Shen:
WHAT?!
Haruka: Only until we find out what really happened.
Shen: Yeah,
sure, meaning you've already made up your mind about who the culprit
is.
Haruka: No.
Shen: Right... Oh yeah and drop the nice act I know you're
faking it.
Haruka: *sighs and leaves the room*
Nova: Ah, Haruka, I was
looking for you.
Haruka: What about?
Nova: It's about the "invisible
enemy" we ran into awhile back.
Haruka: Did you find out anything?
Nova: I
think so. As we guessed they weren't invisible they were just moving
fast.
Haruka: I kind of figured that much and I guess the next thing you're
going to tell me is that they were part of Hidama's army.
Nova:
Um...no.
Haruka: What? Where the hell did they come from then?
Nova:
Zero.
Haruka: Zero...
Nova: It seems he had some mobile suits around. I
just find it strange that they suddenly decided to activate
themselves.
Haruka: Perhaps Hidama activated them herself.
Nova: I doubt
it. If she knew about those MSs she would've done overkill on us and I highly
doubt if they belonged to her she'd allow them to run with they're tails between
they're legs when Sandstorm showed up.
Haruka: Maybe there's a connection
between the two, Sandstorm and these MSs belonging to Zero. Amazing...
Nova:
Amazing?
Haruka: Yeah, even now after both of their deaths they're still
fighting each other. I always wonder what it would've been if things were
different.
Nova: You're not thinking about that machine again are
you?
Haruka: Not exactly.
Nova: Good because I was sure we all talked
about that and of course when I say "we" I mean us four.
Haruka: Well it
seems you still disagree about that.
Nova: I respect your decisions but I
don't think this is the right one. As much as we like to think, they aren't
kids.
Haruka: But you know they aren't ready for all of that. They've got
enough to think about.
Nova: Yeah as if being a young teenager with a bounty
over six times more than what you are worth isn't enough. Ah I keep forgetting
the fact they're also the ones trying to fight an enemy that's hold over people
has reached past the colonies. They can handle a little bit of
information.
Haruka: It stays the same. They're to know nothing about it. If
they do find out anything I'll let you know that you're the first person I'm
going to talk with.
Nova: Haruka, tell me why is it that you don't pilot
instead of Rena?
Haruka: You know very well why.
Nova: A long time ago you
wouldn't even dream of letting your little sister pilot and now you force
her into that gundam. I'm sure you could've found a way to pilot around that
injury.
Haruka: I'm really not interested in a lecture from you
Nova.
Nova: I wasn't lecturing you.
Haruka: But you were starting. Besides
you have other things to do correct?
Nova: Yes.
Haruka: Then get to
it.
Rena walked past the door to Trina's room and stopped as she heard Acht's voice inside along with Trina's.
Trina: You're not lying are you?
Acht: Hell no, I wouldn't lie about this!
I think this guy might be able to answer some questions.
Trina: Wow, you are
good for something!
Acht: More than Shen?
Trina: I'm not going to compare
the two of you.
Acht: *coughs and gets up* Ahh well I expected you wouldn't.
Anyway we should hurry up and go now before the sun goes down.
Rena: *comes
into the room* Where to?
Acht: Eh? Ah... to the bathroom!
Rena: Both of
you?
Acht: Hells yeah!
Rena: *looks over at Trina* Is that
so...?
Trina: No...
Rena: *looks back at Acht* Where were you going
then?
Acht: Why do you care? You're probably just going to rat us
out.
Rena: Is that what you think?
Acht: You seem the type.
Rena: You
have no clue how I see you.
Acht: Yeah well fill me in
ReRe-chan.
Rena: *cold glare*
Acht: Heh, lets face a few things
Rena. I don't like you, you don't like me and to top it off we know each other
VERY well.
Rena: That may be true but if I can't get the answer from you I
still have Trina to ask.
Acht: I only told her what you probably
heard.
Rena: *grabs Acht's shirt and gives him a dirty look* Then tell me
now.
Acht: Just got a few contacts that's all.
Rena: I'm coming with
you.
Acht: WHA?! That's not part of the plan.
Rena: Now it is now lets
go.
The three dash out the door and into the hot sun outside.
Trina: Whaaa!! It's so hot!
Acht: It's not hot!
Trina: Is
too!
Rena: I hope you two aren't going to complain all the way
there.
Trina: I won't, Acht will.
Rena: I swear if it weren't for the fact
that you're a complete fruit I'd have to say you two act like a couple.
Acht:
Trina and me? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Nah I prefer Kitty Kat's butt over her.
Trina:
I knew you would.
Acht: Of course.
Rena: Lets get going.
Acht: Hey
there isn't any rush. It's only a few miles down from here.
Trina: In the
city?
Acht: Outside of it actually. Since Rena's in such a rush lets go
then.
Duet walked into Haruka's room and stared at him.
Haruka: *turns around in his chair* What do you want?
Duet: Well it's
probably no concern to you but I haven't seen any of the kids around.
Haruka:
Did you check every where?
Duet: Yes.
Haruka: Who exactly are we talking
about?
Duet: Rena, Trina and Acht.
Haruka: Well I can't say I've seen
Trina and Acht at all today but I have seen Rena. Maybe they went out to get
some supplies, we are low after all.
Duet: All three of them?
Haruka: Good
point. I'll go look then. Shen is still in his room right?
Duet: No, Haruka I
let him out behind your back. Of course he is.
Haruka: Good then.
Rena stared at the house that seemed to be ready to fall over any second and winced. Acht and Trina happily continued on ready to expect the best from what ever inhabited the home.
Rena: What are you two thinking? Was this some kind of joke on me?
Acht:
Joke?
Rena: You don't honestly think I'm to believe that we're going to find
out anything from someone here.
Trina: *nods with Acht* I believe
Acht.
Rena: You believe him...
Trina: Yes and if this is all a lie then
you can hit him.
Acht: WHAT?! I never agreed to that!
Trina: You just did.
*grins*
Acht: *stare* Fine.
Rena: Fine with me.
Acht: *walks up to the
door as it swings open and two boys shoot him* ACK!
Trina: ACHT!
Rena:
*runs over to the door, grabs one of the boys and points her gun at his head* I
suggest you put down the gun before I kill him.
Boy: *drops the gun* Hey I
didn't mean it! We were just playing!
Rena: Were you? That's why you killed
him.
Boy: Kill him? What are you going on about lady? We didn't kill
him.
Rena: Yes you did!
Trina: Acht...Why? Why now? It's not fair!
Acht: *zooms up* Ugh man that hurt.
Rena: *stares at Acht* What
the...
Acht: *looks down at the red spots on his shirt* Ah man! I got this
thing cleaned two weeks ago! Geez, it just HAD to be my white one.
Trina:
Either you're a zombie or you just don't die Achty.
Acht: What? You mean this
stuff? *picks up some of the red stuff off his shirt and licks it* Mmmm
strawberry.
Trina: Strawberry? *does the same* MMMMMMMM! Good!
Acht: Hey
don't go licking my shirt now, though... I wouldn't really mind if you did.
*smile*
Rena: *stares at the two kids* Do you usually do that to
people?
Boy: No, but our dad doesn't really care. It's not like he could do
anything about it anyway. My name's Trill and that's my brother Arco. I'd like
it very much if you'd let him go lady.
Acht: Lady, heh, makes Rena sound
old.
Rena: *shoots Acht a glare and lets go of Arco* We came here to ask a
few questions.
Trill: Well I don't think we'll let you go any further than
here.
Rena: And why not?
Trill: Because you tried to kill my
brother.
Rena: Egh, I want to talk to the one in charge around here. Your
father perhaps?
Trill: My father can't come here so currently I'm the one in
charge. *turns around as a girl comes to the door* Niomi go away.
Niomi:
Trill what are you doing? Who are they?
Trill: Nothing, I was just trying to
get rid of these guys.
Acht: Sorry to break it to you kid but you're like...
Ten? I can so kick your ass.
Niomi: Well you look like a little twelve
year old. I can SO kick your ass.
Acht: I'm thirteen girly!
Niomi: I'm
sixteen.
Acht: Eep... *hides behind Trina*
Niomi: Arco, go make sure Ren
is cleaning the dishes correctly. Trill, go make sure father is okay. *watches
the two leave and looks at the three at the door* If you're going to come in
then do so.
Acht: *whispers to Trina as they enter the home after Rena* That
girl is pretty hot.
Trina: Achty!
Acht: What? *hears the door close on
it's own behind them* Whoa what the hell?
Niomi: Don't worry your head about
it.
Acht: *blinks a few times* You know Trina. She kind of looks like
you.
Trina: Does that mean I'm hot too?
Acht: Eh, no.
Trina: *shrug*
Excuse me but um we're sorry for any trouble we caused.
Niomi: I'm much more
sorry for my little brothers. They act so immature.
Acht: Really? I'm
considered to be the most mature one out of this little group.
Rena: You're
trying too hard Acht.
Acht: Huh?
Niomi: Heh you're just like
them.
Acht: Me?
Niomi: Of course.
Rena: I was told we were going to get
some information here.
Niomi: And that you will.
Rena: Who are we getting
this information from?
Niomi: My father.
Trina: *watches the light flick
on without anyone to turn on the switch* Very strange place.
Niomi: It's not
as strange as you believe. Unless you believe in ghost and that sort of
thing.
Trina: I do.
Niomi: If you believe that. *watches Arco walk out of
a room* Is she doing right?
Acht: *watches the boy stare blankly at his
sister and Niomi nod her head* I'm getting freaked out, Trina.
Niomi: Good
then tell father we have guest here. *watches Arco leave and sits down* Please
take a seat.
Acht: Uh not to be rude or anything but what's up with that
kid?
Niomi: Arco? He's unable to speak verbally.
Acht: But you just stood
there and acted like you heard him talk to you.
Niomi: Because he did. He's
such a talkative kid, never knows when to stop talking sometimes.
Acht:
But...I just saw--
Niomi: Don't worry about it. If you wish to know then I'm
sure father will tell you.
Acht: Then where's this old fart anyway?
Man:
Old fart? What a rude child.
Acht: *turns around and laughs nervously* Heh, I
was just kidding. So man what are we suppose to call you?
Man: I have many
names, Michael Silva, Psychotic Bastard, Freak, but the one I was given was
Seiya. Seiya Winner.
