Embracing the Light and Darkness

Part 5

by Quatre Raberba Winner



The next morning, the five Gundam pilots re-joined Celes in the kitchen. Heero looked at his companions, "Here's our plan, we sneak into the base, get what we need and get out. It's that simple, however Celes, it is possible that they know you're coming. So might not be able to use your magic."
 

"Here take this." WuFei walked over to her and handed her a sword, "This is one of my extra swords, I hope you know how to use it."
 

"I do and thanks for your help."
 

Duo let his crooked smirk appear on his face. He began to sing a goofy little song, "WuFei and Celes, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
 

"Domina, Baka!" Heero hit the American pilot in the back of the head, "Lets go."
 

They snuck into the base successfully. They walked into a large room. There was nothing in the room except shadows and a large black door with a crest of a white and black wing on it.
 

"Welcome, Gundam pilots." The person walked out of the shadows, "I've been waiting for you."
 

"Treize" WuFei snarled
 

The leader of OZ let a small smile emit from his lips, "Know come to me Celes." He flicked his wrist
 

Celes' black wing flashed for a moment as if something was activated and her eyes became dim almost if she didn't have a soul. She walked towards Treize.
 

"Celes, don't listen to him! You don't know what you're doing! Celes!" Quatre shouted
 

Treize's smile turned into an evil grin, "Celes, get rid of them."
 

"As you wish" she turned faced the G-boys. She spread out her wings and pulled them back, "Wing Blade" She brought and released one feather from each wing that turned into blades in mid air.
 

The blade from her white wing raked against Duo's shoulder.
 

The Arabian pilot looked in Trowa's direction, "Trowa, look out!" he pushed the pilot of Heavyarms out of the way and was impaled in the chest by the black blade. He fell backwards into Trowa's arms.
 

Trowa lowered himself and Quatre to the floor, "Quatre? Talk to me, Quatre!"
 

Heero drew his gun on the long banged girl, like he had done the night before, "Move and I'll shoot..."
 

A small green glow formed in and around her hands. She glared at the Japanese pilot, "Midori no Shippu."
A gust of wind sent Heero flying into the back wall.
 

"Celes, stop it. You're becoming what you didn't want to become. You're becoming a puppet." The Chinese pilot reasoned.
 

"Thunder Ball" she threw a ball of lightning at WuFei.
 

The salutary dragon fell to the floor and struggled to get back to his feet.
 

"Now Celes, come here and open the sealed door."
 

The winged sorceress turned around and walked up to the door. She put her hand on the crest, "Light and darkness, I call on thy power to break the seal"
 

A bright light filled the whole room. The longhaired pilot knelt down next to Heero, "Can you get up?"
 

Heero nodded and got to his feet. Trowa picked Quatre up, "Let's get out of here while we have the chance."
 

Duo and Heero nodded and ran towards the door. Trowa and Duo ran into the hallway. Heero stopped in his tracks and looked at the Chinese pilot, "WuFei, we failed. We've got to get out of here."
 

"I know we failed, Yuy, but I promised to help Celes in anyway I could. I'm not about to brake my promise. I will not leave her behind."
 

"Do what you want." He ran into the hall and re-joined the others
 

The light dimmed. Treize held a small glass orb, "Now that I have what I need, I no longer need you." He snapped his fingers
 

Celes looked at the no longer sealed door, "What have I done?"
 

"You did exactly what I commanded you to do. You released the power that your biological mother sealed away sixteen years ago."
 

"There's no way you could know my birth mother"
 

He smiled, "Your mother's name was Selene Kaze, she was a well known sorceress. When I met her it was love at fist sight. A few months after we met, we got married and the result of our love was you."
 

"You're my father?"
 

"That's right. The Romefeller Foundation didn't approve of the marriage and we gave you to that family in Keene. OZ was supposed to be excepted not feared, knowing that I killed your mother, but before I did so, she sealed away this power making sure you were the only one who could open it. When we gave you up we didn't tell your "family" that you would become a sorceress yourself, in hope that you would come here and open the door. Your mother had wings just like yours except both of her's were white. As you grew up, you became confused and your wings took on light and darkness. I guess now it doesn't matter because I'm going to kill you" he took out his sword and brought it back, "For this I am sorry, my dear daughter Celes." He thrust his sword forward
 

The Chinese boy got to his feet and pushed Celes out of the way and took the full force of the blow. He fell to the floor.
 

Treize looked at the wounded boy, "A Gundam pilot I'll finish you later and don't think I won't kill you, Celes."
 

The blue eyed girl crawled over to WuFei, "WuFei? WuFei!"
 

The leader of OZ looked around the room, now realizing that the other pilots were gone. He glared at one of the near by soldiers, "Put those two in a cell." He looked at Lady Une, "And Lady Une, tell all personal to find the Gundam pilots and shoot them on sight!"
