Ch.1~The Machine

***Prologue***

Everyone living at the Winner mansion was terrified. Most people might think this meant a bomb threat had been found, or the colony was in the path of an incoming meteor, but this is definitely not the case. It would take more than that to scare the Perfect Soldier and his fellow Gundam pilots. No, something was taking place that was much, much, more sinister, and could mean the destruction of the universe as we know it. Yes, it has happened again.

.for the past week and a half, Duo has been locking himself in the science lab, not coming out for anything, surviving on the millions of snack bags he brings in with him. No one knows what may be brewing in there, aside from the obvious pot of coffee or two. But it is certain that whatever lies beyond the closed door, cannot be anything good for the residents of the Winner mansion.



"Finally! It's finally completed!"

Quatre R. Winner attached the last wall to his 3-D puzzle. This was no ordinary 3-D puzzle, however. It was a 4-foot-tall, fully detailed, lights-included Arabian palace. Four towers stood around the main structure, which had exquisite arches and columns built into it. This was a one-of-a-kind, $400 3-D puzzle set, crafted specially for Quatre's last birthday. And ever since his birthday, five months ago, Quatre had kept the puzzle safely stowed away in his closet. He knew that if he had opened it before, Duo would have been there in an instant, breaking the delicate lighting system and peeling off the stickers.

But Duo hasn't been out of that lab in over a week, so it was safe for me to open it. Just to be safe, though, I'd better make sure it's protected when he does come out.

Quatre pushed the table over to an open glass case on one side of the room. Carefully, he lifted the tray his puzzle was resting on off the table and into the case. After he closed the glass case, Quatre took the added precaution of activating a motion-sensor security system around the case and its precious contents.

Now let's see Duo get to it, Quatre thought.



The next morning, everyone was up bright and early as always. Heero and Wufei practiced their fencing moves in the hangar, and Trowa worked on some modifications to Heavyarms. Quatre started in on the day's paperwork, then took a break for breakfast. All the Gundam pilots made their way into the dining hall eventually, and breakfast was served: french toast, scrambled eggs, cereal, and orange juice.

Quatre tried to spark up a conversation. "So, Heero, last week's mission sure was a success, right?"

"Hn."

"Wufei, your swordsmanship looks great! Have you been practicing?"

Wufei glared across the table.

"Hey, Trowa, when's the circus going to be in town again?"

Shrug.

So Quatre decided it was futile to try to get any of them to say more than three words, and made up his mind to enjoy the silence while it lasted. Except it didn't last long.

Suddenly, a gigantic explosion rocked the mansion, and a tremendous shockwave hit the room. All the dishes and uneaten food hurtled down the table and splattered right onto.Wufei's face.

"Maxwell! Kisama! This is the last straw! I'll wring his neck and throw him out the window! I'll.." Spouting profanities and mindless threats, Wufei took off in the direction of the science lab. The rest of the pilots were not far behind him. Upon arriving at the science lab, they could see it didn't look pretty.

"Oh no," Quatre whispered as Heero located the door to the lab.crumpled against the opposite wall in a steaming lump of scrap.

"MAXWELL!!!" Wufei roared as he stormed through the doorway to find and kill Duo. The rest of them carefully stepped over the debris scattered all around and entered the lab.

"Oh no," Quatre said as they walked past the multi-million dollar computer monitoring system which was now blackened and burnt, completely useless.

"Noooooooo," Quatre moaned at the sight of years of hard research and work ruined, half of it completely vaporized, the other half burned beyond recognition. Quatre collapsed to the floor and started sobbing. Suddenly, a shout filled the giant laboratory.

"EUREKA!!! I've finally done it!"

Duo jumped out from behind one of the ruined gadgets. He was covered from the end of his braid to his shoes in ash. And in his hand, he held a small remote-control.

Heero immediately grabbed Duo to keep him from escaping. Then his gun magically appeared from spandex-space. "Omae o korosu. Baka." Duo squirmed in Heero's grip.

"Hey, wait a sec, don't kill me yet! Don't you want to know what's going on? Don't you want to know the cause of the explosion? Or what I've been doing all this time? Or, more importantly," Duo grinned , "where I keep my world-renowned collection of snacks, including the king-size Twix!"

Heero smiled ear to ear (o.O). "Twix.the yummiest candy of all the yummy candies in the world." (A/N: Heero has an affinity for chocolate. o.O) Heero lets Duo go.

Duo brushes himself off. "That's better. So come on this way." Duo headed off in some various direction. Trowa pulled Quatre off the floor and dragged him with them. Soon they arrived at what looked to be a big pile of metal and wiring. Duo pulls aside lots of metal to reveal a capsule, just large enough to hold one person. "This is what I've been working on the past week and a half. I just finished it today!"

Quatre wiped his eyes off and said, "Duo, I can't believe you've done this to my mansion! This is what caused the explosion? Even you can't do this much damage without putting at least some thought into it!"

Duo was working on connecting some wires and replied, "Nah, the explosion was something else. I left my burrito in the microwave to finish something here and it exploded." Everyone sweatdrops. Duo connects the last two wires and lights all over the capsule light up. "So now, without further ado, I give you Duo's kawaii-enhancing chibi-fier machine!"
