"Oi Q-man, pass the butter over will ya?" Taking hold of the offered item, Duo began to
spread large portions of the yellow substance onto his toast while on the odd occasion
gesturing with his buttered covered knife "As I was saying, I was running down the last
corridor and just as the damn exit came into view a stupid Ozzie decided to play hero
and tried to stop me"

Placing the container of butter back onto the table, the braided boy the proceeded to
grab the jar of raspberry jam "He was like 'Freeze or I'll shoot' me being the person
that I am, I just continued running, dodging the bullets he was firing at me. By the
time I reached him, the poor bastard was out of ammo and not even a single shot came
close to hitting me"

Shrugging his shoulders after returning the jar back to its original place, Duo took a
large bite from his jam covered toast before continuing on with his story "Anyway, the
Ozzie then..."

A sudden beeping from the other room caught all five pilot's attention as one boy with
messy chocolate hair and Prussian eyes stood up silently and made his way out of the room.

As soon as their fifth member left, the silence that fell over the room vanished as the
blonde haired Arabian spoke up "So what happened then Duo?"

A Chinese boy sitting opposite the American looked up from his morning paper, a slight
frown crossed his features as he said "Winner, you should not encourage Maxwell into
speaking any more than he already does"

"Hey Wu-man that's not very nice you know! Plus I don't talk THAT much" Said the braided
boy with a pout.

Not a moment later, the Japanese boy re-entered the tiny kitchen of their currant safe-house
with a duffle bag slung over his shoulder and his laptop under his arm.

Pausing only long enough to pin Duo with his gaze, Heero tonelessly said "We have a mission,
be ready to leave in Deathscythe by 0930 hours, you will be briefed while enroute to sector
707-S9" Then continued on his way out to the hanger, where their Gundams were being stored.

Grinning broadly, the pilot of Deathscythe stood up from his chair "Shinigami's back in
action" Looking over to Quatre, Duo winked at the Arabian pilot and added "Don't worry Q,
I'll finish the story off when I get back" Before bounding up the stairs to get ready for
his joint mission with Heero.

"How are the new developments going for the prototype?" Commander Raynor asked as he
inspected the large beam weapon through the 3 inch thick glass, where beyond a dozen
scientists stood working on the weapon and their computers.

Adjusting the frames of his glasses with one hand, the lead scientist checked his clipboard
as he replied "We are making the final adjustments now, the beam cannon should be ready to
test as early as tomorrow morning"

Nodding his head in approval, Commander Raynor smiled slightly "Good work Clemings, I can't
wait until we can use this baby against those Gundam bastards, they'll never know what hit
them"


~#~#~#~#~#~#~


"First stage of operation complete 01, I've finished uploading the virus into the computers
mainframe. I'll be clear of the target in 3 minutes"

"Affirmative 02, Second stage will be initiated in 3 minutes time" Heero's voice replied,
as he waited patiently in the cockpit of Wing for his time to act.


~#~#~#~#~#~#~


Through the thick smoke rising up from the ground, the sunlight reflected off two gleaming
dots hovering in the air. Brief flashes of light could be seen followed closely with small
explosions of fire.

Another screen in the well lit cockpit flared to life as an image of the Deathscythe pilot
appeared on it "I've finished clearing the path for you to fire at the main building, just
make it fast there's a hell of a lot more mobile suits here than what we thought"

"Hn, baka shut up and move out of the way so I can take the shot"

Grinning broadly, Duo replied "I guess I can since you asked me so nicely" Before terminating
the connection and moving his Gundam out of the line of fire.

Once Deathscythe move out of the way, Heero brought up Wings beam rifle and took aim at the
OZ building below, unaware of one of the hanger doors opening.


~#~#~#~#~#~#~


Changing over to another frequency, Commander Raynor barked "Clemings! Get that beam cannon
out there this instant. I want that thing loaded up to one of the Leo's and out ready to
fire ASAP"

The head scientist Clemings appeared on the screen looking flustered as he said "Sorry Commander,
sir, but I don't think it would be a wise decision to use the cannon yet, we haven't finished
adjusting it fully yet. If we fire it now, we risk the cannon overheating and in a worst case
scenario…well, the cannon could blow up sir"

"This is a bloody Gundam attack not a bloody picnic! I don't care if you have to get out there
and fan the damn thing, I want it loaded and in the air ready to fire within the next 2 minutes
or you can kiss all our arses goodbye" Commander Raynor bellowed over the intercom.

Eyes widening, Clemings quickly saluted "Yes sir, I'll make sure your orders are followed" Then
reached forward terminating the link.


~#~#~#~#~#~#~


As soon as the auto-targeting system locked onto the smouldering building below, Heero smirked
in satisfaction as he pressed down on the fire button.

The buster rifle in Wing's hands simultaneously flared to life as it fired, causing the Gundam
to move back a few centimetres from momentum.

A burst of light from the OZ base below caught the Wing pilot's attention as he narrowed his eyes
to try and look past the shot he fired. Heero's face paled dramatically as the beam he fired
rammed into a similar blast with a loud crack moments before dissolving away as the enemy attack
shot right through it and continued its path towards his Gundam.

"Heero!" Duo called frantically over the intercom as the Deathscythe pilot became aware of the
attack on his fellow Gundam. Slicing through the remaining OZ mobile suits, the braided pilot
manoeuvred his Gundam over to where Wing was in an attempt to knock the other suit out of the
way.

Alarms began to go of within Wings cockpit as its pilot noticed Duo's Gundam moving to intercept
the attack.

Thin streams of blood ran down the pilots face and various other injuries as Heero's already pale
features, paled even more at the thought of Duo sacrificing his life in order to save his own 'No,
I will not allow you to forfeit your life for mine' The Wing pilot thought as he moved his Gundam
around and rammed into Deathscythe, pushing the black Gundam further behind his own.

"Heero! Heero you idiot! What the hell do you think you're doing, get out of the way"

Breathing heavily inside the cockpit, Heero reached a shaky blood covered hand forward and switched
the intercom off, silencing the pleas of his fellow gundam pilot, right before the beam rammed into
his own gundam easily shattering its armour, then continued on bursting through the cockpit and out
the other side once again tearing the middle completely apart.

"Nooooooo!" Echoed the Deathscythe pilots scream as he watched the beam go right through the other
Gundam. Tears of fear and frustration threatened to spill from Duo's violet coloured eyes as Wing
fell silently through the air before hitting the ground with a loud thump.

So caught up with the sudden demise of his best friend, the braided pilot never once realised that
the same beam that just killed Heero was on a direct course for his own Gundam as well.

Wiping his eyes of his unshed tears, Duo turned his attention back to the screen. Violet eyes
widened in horror and the pilot muttered a tiny "Oh no" Just before the attack made contact with
the black armour of his Gundam.


~#~#~#~#~#~#~


Sitting down in the living room with the early afternoon sun filtering through the glass, a blonde
boy sat by himself enjoying a quiet cup of tea.

Quatre allowed the warm sunlight to calm hit nerves as he took a sip from his warm beverage. As
soon as the liquid slid down the blonde's throat, a sharp pain shot through his heart.

A painful gasp escaped the Arabian's lips as Quatre's hands shot up to clutch at his aching heart.

Tears of pain began to well up in his cerulean eyes as Quatre quietly whispered "Heero" Just before
another sharp jolt raced through his heart causing the blonde pilot to cry out in pain before
slumping back in the chair unconscious.


~#~#~#~#~#~#~


Seeing the destruction of two Gundams would usually be cause for celebration within the OZ group
and throughout most of the base cheers could be heard as word of their destruction ran through the
ranks.

One person within the base however was not cheering, instead there was a light sheen of sweat covering
the man's features as he hastily worked in order to stop the recently fired beam cannon for overheating
too much.

"Come on, come on" Clemings muttered urgently to himself as he continued to type in an assortment
of codes into the control panel attached to the beam cannon.

The screen before the scientist began to flash a big red warning sign as alarms started going off
all around him.

Ignoring the beeping intercom, the scientist frantically attempted to prevent the cannon from
overheating but soon came to the realization that no matter what he did, the cannon was going to
blow.

Not wasting another second, Clemings made a mad dash for cover as the metal plating around the
large weapon began to glow a bright red from heat shortly before a huge explosion tore through the
hanger sending bits of metal flying.

A black smeared face peered through the smoke at the ruined remains of what was once their finest
weapon. Growling angrily, the scientist swore "Damn it!"

The intercom decided to make itself known again, letting out a painful grunt, Clemings unsteadily
got to his feet and clumsily made his way past all the debris to where the communication device was
located beneath a pile debris and lose wires.

Pressing down on the button, the scientist held back a sigh as he simply asked "Yes?"

"Umm...Clemings, sir, the team and I have just double checked our data concerning the weapon,
but umm...sir, it's all gone. Someone managed to wipe it from our data base, sir everything's gone"
