Disclaimer: Guys I officially own the Thunderbirds! They are now mine to do whatever I want with them. YAY! *Wakes up* Oh what a lovely dream.. No I still don't own them :(

AN: Thanks for the reviews guys :) On with the story! Will Gwen be saved or not?

"Guys we have to go in." Said Scott after a long pause. "But, I don't want you to come in with me, its going to be dangerous."

The three remaining glanced at each other with amused expressions on their faces and spoke simultaneously. "No."

"Guys, seriously I don't want to risk you getting hurt when its only one person involved."

"And Scott seriously, we aren't letting you going in there alone. Not when you could get hurt as well." Said Virgil.

Scott sighed, why did little brothers have to be SO annoying?

"Ok fine, Alan your with Virge and Gordon with me. But you keep radio connections open at ALL times, you understand?"

Scotts voice was so a commanding with that sentence that nobody dared to object, not even quick to comeback Gordon.

"Right, lets go." said Scott, running towards the building, his younger siblings in quick pursuit.

Once the boys were inside the building Scott gave direct instructions."Ok Gordon and I will go right. Alan and Virge, you go left.

"Good luck guys!" said Goron.

And with that the brothers went their separate ways.

***** 5,4,3,2,1 *****

Alan and Virgil ran along side in silence. A silence that was broken by the question that all of the brothers were thinking.

"Virge? Do you think were gonna find this girl before its too late?"

Virgil sighed, it was a question that had been mulling around his brain for a while, it was also a question that Virgil knew that his brother would ask. But despite all of the times he had reversed the answer in his head, he thought it still came out wrong.

"Al, listen. I honestly have no idea whether this girl is going to get out of here, we will not stop trying to find her. However there is one thing I am sure about. I am not going to allow you to get hurt. So if it is too late to save this girl.." Virgil took a deep breath "We have to be prepared for the worst."

Alan nodded mutely, he hadn't been in International Rescue for long, in fact this was only the thirteenth rescue that he had been on. Death was not an easy thing for him to cope with, but if it meant risking the lives of his brothers then it was something that he would have to accept.

***** 5,4,3,2,1 *****

Gwen was bored. She had been sitting in the factory for what? 10 minutes now? And nobody had come with her. She'd figured out after a momentary sweep of the factory that , indeed, there were no animals left inside. But Gwen was a stubborn girl, she would not leave the factory until the owners accepted responsibility for their actions. It also didn't help that she had lost one of her shoes.

She wasn't going to get hurt though." I mean, who blows up a building with someone inside?" She thought to herself. Sadly Gwen had no idea that the building was scheduled to blow up on a timer, maybe if she had, she wouldn't have been stupid enough to run in in the first place, but then again, maybe not.

It was at that moment that Gwen heard a shout.

"Hello?" she shouted back, maybe it was one of the other protesters!

But those thoughts were shattered as two figures appeared from around the corner, it was clear that these two figures were NOT some of her followers.

They were international rescue.

Gwen narrowed her eyes, oh how she hated them, with their giant machines that filled the Earth with poisonous fumes that killed the forests and fish.

"Ma'am we're…" Virgil started.

"I know who you are." Gwen replied coldly.

"Well not many people don't." Joked Alan, he was relieved that they had found her, even if she did seem a bit strange. " We need to leave NOW. I don't know if you know this but theres 10 minutes left on the timer then this whole place goes up."

"Timer? Theres a timer?" Asked a shocked Gwen, she didn't know it was a timed explosion!

"Yes, so we need to move." Virgil said in his controlling voice.

"I can't." Said Gwen, suddenly embarrassed.

Virgil groaned. "Why not?"

"I lost my shoe." Gwen said, a depressed look on her face.

Alan snorted, but Virgil kept a straight face, the building was about to explode and they needed to get out.

"Ok, grab my arm and i'll help you." Virgil said, reaching out for the woman's arm.

Gwen pulled it back in horror. "You pilot the green Thunderbird right?"

Virgil stared. "Well.. yes, but is that really important now?"

"It is when you are destroying the world!" Gwen shouted.

Alan rolled his eyes. " Ok then i'll help you." he said, grabbing Gwen's arm before she could make any complaint about Thunderbird 3. After all nobody insulted the boys babies.

At this time Virgil was talking to scott over his watch " Yep Scott, we got her, yep you can go back outside now. No we don't need you to come back and get us. Yes I am perfectly aware that we have 7 minutes to get out, your wasting those minutes talking to me." Scotts angry voice was a buzz over Virgil's watch. " Ok, just take Gordy and get outside. Bye." And with that Virgil cut out communications.

" Right!" he said in his most charming voice. " Lets go"

***** 5,4,3,2,1 *****

The three were making a steady progress through the factory, they could see daylight.

"Almost there!" Virgil called.

"Good! Because if she insults us one more time,I will punch her, whether she's a girl or not." Alan said.

Gwen simply sighed, gosh these people were annoying, the sooner she got out of here, the better. So long as nothing happened, she should be out of this creepy factory in a couple of minutes.

Sadly, something did happen, Since this factory was left in a hurry there was still equipment all over the floor, equipment that Gwen managed to trip over. Pulling the International Rescue worker over with her. Oh yes the kid had muscles, but Gwen was raised on vegetables and exercised regularly. This meant she could easily beat a man in an arm wrestle, or as in now, pull them to the ground.

Virgil snapped around as he heard a crash and heard his baby brother cry out in pain. Alarmed Virgil quickly ran back to the duo, who were now on the floor and began to rapidly fire questions.

"Are you alright?" "Did you remember to land properly?" "What hurts?" and even " Did SHE push you?" With a glare thrown at Gwen.

" Yeah, I pushed him then fell on the floor myself. IDIOT!"

But Virgil was taking none of this in, instead he was staring at Alan's leg, which was swelling rapidly and was stuck out at a funny angle.

"I think it's broken Al." He would have done a proper diagnosis but there wasn't enough time. Virgil quickly lifted his watch and was alarmed to see that they only had a minute left.

"Right thats it." Virgil muttered, and with that lifted Alan into his arms, ignoring the protests. And glared at Gwen. "YOU have to run without a shoe, unless you want to be toast."

Gwen nodded, she didn't like toast.

"Ok then." Virgil nodded back, then started running towards the exit, hoping they would make it.

***** 5,4,3,2,1 *****

Outside, Scott Tracy was panicking.

"Where are they?" He growled. There was only 40 seconds left!

"Scott, relax, they're probably doing this on purpose so they can make dramatic entrance." Gordon joked, but there was worry beneath the red-heads eyes.

"Ok I'm going in." Scott decided.

"Scott you can't, what about…"

Gordon's argument was cut short as a ginormous explosion burst through the skies. Destroying the factory and everything inside.

Right thats it! So I may update tomorrow, depends on if I get reviews..

See you guys soon!
