semi AU

will be 1x2/2x1, some 3x4, citrus in later chapters

Warning: If you don't like yaoi, don't read, no one is twisting your arm and you won't change my mind.

Takes place AC 195, only four gundams are being used, Deathscythe is unpiloted as it has been deemed unmanageable after killing two pilots and making three more insane. It is semi-AI (ZERO prototype).

CHAPTER ONE

The mission seemed simple enough on the surface - OZ had a research facility, find out about the project, blow up the complex. Easy enough for our four gundams to accomplish, right? I thought so, but made sure my mission plan had room for last minute changes.never expected this, however.

We made it passed security (lax anyway) without much trouble, the odd bit of fire-fighting and some hand-to-hand with two would-be heroes. Nothing the Perfect Soldier couldn't handle.

Trowa and Wufei stood guard at the door of the lab while Quatre and I made our way inside to where we could see a small group of white-coated technicians bunched around an array of cone-shaped projections near the rear wall of the room. There was a transparent violet glow beginning to manifest at the centre of the array. I burst through and shot briefly at each of the figures, making sure to leave one of them alive for questioning later.

Just then the violet light grew opaque and quite large. The wounded technician tried to stand up and make his way toward what appeared to be a control panel, but I paralyzed his legs with a quick kick. As he fell, his arm hit something on the board. A loud "popping" sound followed and the strange light disappeared. On the floor was a figure bathed in a cyan glow - it seemed human shaped, but it was difficult to tell as the color was searing to my eyes. It struggled to stand then toppled over, striking the technician I had immobilized. The man screamed as a purple light seemed to zip from his fingers to the cyan figure, then the glow lessened until we could see that the strange figure from the array was really a human. A very wet andnaked human, with extraordinary long hair.

Quatre rushed over to the fallen technician, put a quick hand to the wrist then shook his head.

"Dead, Heero." He slowly walked over to the naked form who was attempting to rise in a shaky manner.

I left him to it, and scooted to the control panel to see if I could find any information about the research project. Scanning quickly over the computer screen, I began hacking into the current program and came up with "Project Prism" . I transferred all the data I could find to a disk that I brought with me specifically for that purpose and then turned to motion Trowa and Wufei inside.

Both pilots entered hesitantly, then Quatre beckoned them over.

"Give me a hand with him," he said softly, "I don't think he is doing well."

Him???

And he wasn't. I could see slim shoulders shaking violently over clenched arms

wrapped around his doubled-over form.

"I'm not surprised," I stated flatly. "Get something on him, he's coming with us."

Three pairs of eyes stared at me. I grunted. I hate giving explanations.

"The project involved searching alternate realities for possible weapon ideas or the

weapons themselves. He may have information we need on this. We need to investigate

this more."

The figure chose that moment to let out a low moan of pain then collapsed. That seemed to galvanize Quatre, the more compassionate one of us, into action. He quickly stripped off the lab coat from one of the dead technicians and wrapped the naked youth in it. Wufei and Trowa headed toward the lab door, taking point without having to be told. Sometimes I really think we do make it as a team, not that I'll ever admit it.

I scooped up the stranger and we headed out the complex to our Gundams. Jumping up to Wing's already lowered arm, I punched in the code and dropped my bundle carefully into the cramped cockpit. Then powered up my gundam and together with the Shenlong Altron, we torched the complex until nothing remained but ashes.
