Resident Evil
by Snow Tigra and Chibi Shi-Chan
Part 2
*Shuttle towards Mars*
The former gundam pilots fidgeted in their seats as
Duo piloted the shuttle toward the planet. They'd
taken off directly from Preventers Headquarters and
were now nearly at the planet, time flying fast. Gone
were the Preventers uniforms, due to the aspect of
space travel and possible need for black clothing that
was easier to move around in. So they'd opted for
flightsuits, which highly resembled the ones they'd
worn at the end of the Eve Wars. Wufei had pulled his
hair back into a tighter ponytail and Duo had redone
his braid just to be sure it stayed out of the way.
They descended into the planet's atmosphere and headed
for the base, flying at a relatively slow speed just
in case. Meanwhile Heero and Trowa stood in the back
inspecting the many 'toys' the Preventers had equipped
them with.
"Ready for landing." Duo said loudly so all could
hear. He heard seatbelts buckle behind him and he
began to type in the sequence.
Everything moved smoothly enough, the engines
switching and the shuttle slowly drifting down in a
controlled fall. As they got closer to the ground
Duo's eyes widened. He could see the terriforming
compound before them but it looked nothing like the
logs and pictures. The entire place was covered with
vines and breaking apart; almost like it was the ruins
of an age-old project, not something that had only
started a year ago.
"Guys, look at this!"
Wufei unbuckled his belt and walked up to the front,
standing behind Duo's seat. He frowned deeply. "What
in the world?"
There was movement from behind, of the others standing
up to get a better view when suddenly the shuttle
jerked to the side. Quatre gave a yell of surprise
while Wufei clutched tightly to the back of Duo's
seat. Duo's eyes jumped to the screens.
"We've been hit by something...a hull breech?!"
He concentrated on landing, noticing that they were
very close to the ground and if he let his
concentration slip they'd end up a smoking pile of
rubble on the ground. He kept his mind on the
controls and the landing sequence, hoping the others
would figure out what was going on.
Meanwhile Trowa and Heero were out of their seats and
in the back of the shuttle. They located the hull
breech easily, finding it to be a small hole just
behind the passenger seats. Heero frowned deeply as
he knelt down to get a closer look. He discovered it
wasn't just a hole, but the edges were covered with a
sizzling green liquid. He stood up quickly and backed
away.
"Duo, land now!"
As he yelled the words another hole was punctured
above them, the strange green acid eating away at the
metal.
"Hold on!"
Duo sped up the shuttle and hit the ground not so
kindly. It was either land quickly and risk damage or
land safely and probably get hurt more. So he took
the first door. The entire shuttle shook in protest
as it connected with the ground, in a surprisingly
good landing for the speed and decent. As soon as
they were safe on the ground Duo locked everything
down and jumped out of his seat, ready for action.
Heero was immediately at the shuttle door, gun ready
and crouched in battle mode. All the pilots had gone
silent, their guns of choice in their hands and their
eyes very serious. Even Duo didn't make a sound, this
wasn't the time for jokes.
Trowa opened the main door as two more holes were
punched through the hull behind them. He and Heero
watched the door open and eyed the area before them.
The group had landed a pretty good distance from the
compound, with ground to cover in-between. Open
ground with no shelter. Not the best choice of
landings but it would have to do. Before them they
could see the compound, covered with so many vines it
was hard to see the grayish color of the outer walls.
Quatre blinked in confusion as he could have sworn he
saw the vines moving, but no, plants don't move that
fast.
No one had to say anything to understand the plan. To
their well-trained minds the compound was much safer
then the damaged shuttle sitting out in the open. Despite
the fact that they had no idea what was inside at
least they would have less space for things to sneak
up on them. Without words, or even motions for that
matter, Wufei stepped out to lead the group. Moving
cautiously down onto the ground he glanced back at the
rest and they moved toward the compound, leaving the
shuttle far behind.
All around them they heard strange sounds like
hissing, burning, and acid eating into the ship. None of
them had any idea what the acid was or where it came
from but they didn't really care, their main focus at
the moment was safety and a place to regroup and
resort their thoughts. They'd figure out a plan when
they found a safe place to take a moment's rest.
Wufei reached the door to the compound first, kicking
the door open and immediately scanning the interior
with his gun and narrowed eyes. After a moment he
deemed it safe and moved in, followed by the others.
They quickly shut the door and relaxed, lowering their
guns.
The hallway around them was quite empty, but at least
the lights above were still working; most of them.
Vines curled along the ceiling, seeming to stay close
to the lights as if they were feeding off the energy.
Other then that fact the place looked empty and
silent, save for the crushed plastic under their feet.
"What in the world happened to this place?" Duo
wondered in a quiet voice.
Quatre's eyes scanned the ceiling, paying close
attention to the vines. "I feel like we've moved
forward in time. This place looks like its been
abandoned for a long time."
"It smells like a jungle." Trowa added.
Wufei and Heero kept their comments about the compound
to themselves. Instead Heero pulled out a small
handheld computer which contained a map of the entire
compound. Hitting a few buttons he made it display
their current location in comparison to the rest of
the area.
"Noin and Zechs made the call from here, we should
make our way toward their comm room."
Wufei nodded, peering at the map over his shoulder.
"Splitting up would be a bad idea until we know what
exactly we are dealing with. This appears to be the
best route."
The others agreed and Heero closed the computer,
slipping it into a pocket on the leg of his black
flightsuit. "Move out."
Quatre brought up the rear of the group with Duo, his
gun at ready. Reaching out quietly with his space
heart he searched the immediate area for Noin or
Zechs. He expected to find them or at least hear
silence but instead it was almost an overload of
feelings. He quickly blocked the feelings out and
concentrated on their path and scanning the walls
around them. But he didn't like it.
In that one moment he'd reached out he'd felt so much
life it was almost too much to take. It was as if the
compound itself were alive, but that couldn't be
right...could it?
