(At The Colony)
Sixteen-year-old Ashlie Lanai peeked around the corner of the hallway, to make sure no guards would be making their hourly rounds at that moment. "Great." She said with a smile. "The sooner I get out of here the better." Upon approaching the door, Ashlie retrieved a slip of paper on which the code to the lock was scribbled down. After the lock approved of her entry, the metallic door opened and the girl stepped lightly in, paying no mind to the officers already in there. Ashlie smiled once more, but it was more amused than anything.
"What have we here? Miss Lanai, I think you should be going…"
The girl stepped closer. "Really?"
"Yes, or I must contact the Commander."
"Oh, you don't have to call him that- I made up a family name for him."
"And what would that be?" The rather skinny officer had stepped one too close, and with finishing his sentence, was knocked down, out, and cold. Then, quickly, Ashlie put the same fate on the other four in the room. Afterwards, she wiped her hands on her pants and muttered, "Blood-sucking Bimbo, actually." and sat herself in one of the chairs, in front of a computer screen and began typing.
"Now, let's see… I would have known more about this place… If I hadn't been locked up…" the girl spoke freely. "… Besides…" she continued. "He is a blood-sucking bimbo and he deserves… huh? What's this?" Ashlie noticed a blinking red button near her right side. "Shoot. Got me… I guess I don't have much time then… I'll just send a message to Lana before I leave. But… not before… jackpot." Ashlie studied the map before her, then typed up a command for a private connection to her friend's computer and spoke into a small microphone by the top of the monitor. "Lana, darling! I'll miss you, and yes! I'm finally breakin' outta here! Wish me good luck an'-" The girl spun around at the sudden boom of the door being blown open. She spun back and delivered the last of the message to the computer, "Cat'cha later babe! Don't forget me now. Buh bye! …Huh? Hey lemme go! Ack! He-hey! All right a delayed action…" she shouted back to the monitor. "But I. Will. Succeed! Later babe!" was all the microphone recorded before shutting itself off and ending the message, and Ashlie was hauled off to testify in front of her father. She never meant to get caught, and she feared her father more than anything in life. Lana seemed to be the only person she could open up to, but it didn't matter now. Now it seemed like all was over- Ashlie could already smell the fresh blood being sucked from her by a really big bimbo.

(Rendezvous Point)
Quatre sat at a desk, in front of a laptop. In his left hand was a green disc; in it was the targeted colony's map and information. "Um, should we wait until Hiiro and Duo get here?" he asked Wufei, who was to his right.
"No need to!" came a familiar booming voice from the entrance door.
"Duo! I'm so glad you made it. I was starting to worry."
Hiiro followed Duo into the room. "We don't have much time. Let's see the map." He said as he pulled up a chair and straddled it.
Quatre did as told. "Alright. Here's the plan- while we have no idea where Lanai is being kept, we have to bring her to Peacemillion Base as soon as we find her. First, all of us fly on a crashing ship into the colony. We escape as workers, and immediately Duo breaks into the main telecast room, and causes confusion with the soldiers, allowing himself to get captured after quite a period of time. Hiiro and Trowa sneak into the information room to find where Lanai is, and contact Wufei and I when you do. I then will sneak into a usable hangar and move a ship for takeoff; it will be in the middle of the platform. While Duo is imprisoned, Wufei will be a soldier on an order from the commander to bring Lanai and Duo forth. By that time, everyone should be at an escaping position."
"What if Duo is immediately put to questioning?" Hiiro inquired.
Wufei smirked. "Break him out."
"Hn." He nodded slightly.
At that moment, everyone stood and said in unison, "Let's go!"

(Lana's House)
Lana, a fourteen-yr-old girl, with short blonde hair, light blue sparkling eyes, and her height not much shorter than Ashlie's, walked into her small bedroom to check her mail. Hot mug in hand, she pushed the little green button to turn the computer on. As she sipped her cocoa, Lana typed in her passwords and saw that her friend Ashlie, indeed, had sent her a message. "It's from the… one of the offices? Oh, dear… She tried to escape again, didn't she?" Slightly frowning, she opened the file. Instantly Ashlie's mischievous face appeared.
"Lana, darling! I'll miss you, and yes! I'm finally breakin' outta here! Wish me good luck an'-" Lana sat back, watching the girl trying to say goodbye, but it appeared that she had been caught. "Cat'cha later babe! Don't forget me now. Buh bye! …Huh? Hey lemme go! Ack! He-hey! Alright a delayed action…" It seemed now, that all the blonde wanted to do was get her friend out of that place. She hadn't known much about what happened to Ashlie during her early childhood, but by her numerous attempts at escaping definitely shouted a message to Lana. Still, she continued to watch her being dragged away. "But I. Will. Succeed! Later babe!" Lana set her mug down to laugh at Ashlie's choice of words. The girl had it in herself to be cheerful while in fear; Ashlie had told her once that her worst fear was her father. It reminded her of a storybook character; a fearless night would do anything for his love, the princess, in order to rescue her from her imprisonment. But Ashlie played the part of both the night and the princess. But something was different about this message. Ashlie's hair was—
Suddenly, the surrounding air in the room became thicker as if she wasn't alone. Lana turned reluctantly around and screamed at the sight of a tall, built soldier standing inside her door. Standing up quickly, she said, "What are you doing here? What do you want?"
The soldier said, "My, my. Aren't we jumpy today? Miss Lana Spelling, I presume?"
"Yeah. What about it?" Lana spat what Ashlie told her to say when questioned by soldiers. Neither of them liked soldiers.
"I see you've been taking lessons from your little friend… Miss Lanai herself has summoned you. Come with me, please."
Glaring, the girl followed him into a limozine and was taken to the edge of the colony, where military control was the heaviest.
"This way. And don't even try to run." The soldier said back to Lana as he escorted her into the compound.
"Ooh, don't you worry," Lana muttered, looking around at the many guards roaming the grounds. "Wouldn't dream of it…"

(Ashlie's Cell)
"Nice try, Ashes. Looks like you're gonna be here a while, enough time to think out a better plan, eh?" a soldier said as he pushed Ashlie into her cell, marked M-117. Ashlie didn't say anything. But once about an hour had passed she threw a piece of rock and growled, "Aww, shoot."

(Shuttle)
"We're coming up on the colony now. Stand by, and don't forget your assignments." Hiiro's voice came up on the speakers found around the borrowed shuttle. He then prepared himself by slipping his costume of a space suit on, and gained control of the panel, trying to sound at least a little convincing.
"Calling to Colony X52280L," Hiiro said in an almost squeaky voice.
"Yes, what is it?"
"We need to make an emergency landing in your colony, sir! Please open your door!" The boy made his eyes big, hard as it was.
"Enter Gate 432B."
Hiiro knew this was the colony part of the drifting structure, and held back a smirk until the screen blacked out. He held down a small button and said to the others, "Entering in, 3, 2…"
The shuttle "crashed" into the colony rather artfully, having blown the engine and using it for speed. The five boys quickly escaped in the confusion of fire fighters in the cell, and immediately attended to their tasks.
