Part 3

Heero and Duo woke up the next morning wrapped in each others arms. Duo was the first to wake up. He let out a small yawn and opened his eyes to see his lover lying right next to him. //He's so cute when he's asleep.// Duo thought to himself. //He may appear to could on the outside, but I know him and he's not exactly how he appears to be. // Duo looked at the clock on the wall. //Man it's already 7:20. I better wake up Heero so we both won't be late for class.  // Duo nudged Heero. Heero slowly opened his eyes. They stared at each other with smiles on their faces.

Duo felt so comfortable that he felt like dozing off again. He was about to close his eyes when he felt Heero's lips gently kiss his. Duo opened his eyes. "Come on. We don't want to be late." Heero said to him and got up. Duo let out a big yawn, stretched and got up as well. //Man, school stinks. // Duo thought to himself.

It was Saturday, so each of the pilots only had one weekend class. When that was over Duo went to his room and started watching his favorite rock music videos.

About 20 minutes after Duo had bean to watch TV, Iria came in looking for Quatre. "No I haven't seen em'" Duo answered simply. "Oh" she said in reply. She sat down on the bed and looked at what the braided boy was watching. "Hey what're you watching?"

"Nothing much, just rock videos." Duo replied.

"Oh, um what's this one called?"

"The song's called 'Show Me How to Live' by Audioslave It's really good. You should watch it sometime." Duo smiled at her.

"Okay" Iria answered still looking at the video with a lot of interest.

Suddenly, Duo got up and walked over to his nightstand. He opened one of the drawers and pulled out his CD case. He came back over to where he was sitting and began to skim through his case. When he finally found what he was looking for, he gave the CD to Iria. Iria took the CD and looked at it for a moment. It said 'Queens of the Stone Age' as the band name.

Duo smiled. "If you like rock music, this is a good starting band since you're a girl and all. You should start out with something slow. A lot of good songs are on there. You can borrow it if you want. Hope you enjoy it." Iria looked up at him. "Thanks Duo" Iria got up and left, closing the door silently behind her. She went to her office and began to listen to the CD Duo had lend her.

That evening, Heero had finally received the data on their mission. They all met in Heero and Duo's dorm. Everyone was around the computer screen, while listening to Heero's explanation. "We are to sneak into the base and hack in to the main control system located in the left quadrant of the base. The base has all the information on us Gundam pilots and has more information that is used to give OZ and the Romerfeller Foundation an advantage in battle. We are to destroy the data and get out. If we can't destroy the data, then we destroy the base. Any questions?' Quatre and Wufei had a question, but that was about it.

"Okay, everyone get ready. We leave in one hour. Trowa, Duo, prepare your Gundams. You two will be our back up when the rest of us enter the base. If we give the signal that we didn't destroy the data, give us exactly 20 minutes to get out. Then destroy the base. Got it?" Heero said seriously. Everyone nodded.

Heero closed his laptop and everyone got up to leave the room. Meanwhile, Iria was driving in her car driving to the drug store to get a few things. Along the way, she passes the base that the Gundam pilots planned to attack. She's completely hooked on that CD that Duo let her borrow. Her favorite song so far was 'Go With the Flow' which she constantly listened to. She memorized the words already and was singing along with the song. It kind of reminded her of how her life was, stuck inside of her fathers Winner resource satellites. She was hardly ever allowed to leave the premises. She could never really go with the flow. . .

At the base, Heero and Quatre were in a small room destroying the Gundam data. Wufei was standing guard keeping an eye out for OZ soldiers. "Quatre, have you destroyed the data on the space battles recorded from Wing Zero?" Heero asked as he deleted the last bit of information left on the main system. "Yes, and I'm just about done here, just give me a minute."  Heero nodded and went to go stand guard with Wufei.

About a moment later, Quatre came out and replied to his comrades that he was done. Heero then contacted Trowa and Duo and informed them that they destroyed the data and are coming out.

"Did ya hear that?" Duo asked Trowa as he looked at him through his vidscreen.

"Yeah, so I guess we wait for them. Oh, and we have company." Trowa replied.

"Huh…?" Duo stopped and looked at his monitors. "Yeah, I guess your right."

"Well I guess we better get to work then."

And with that, the two Gundam pilots started destroying the large amount of Mobile Dolls sent to the base by OZ.  //Man, OZ must have had some valuable information there to send this many Dolls to one base. // Duo thought to himself. //Well whatever, they're about to meet their end anyway. The God of Death is here.//

Back at the base, the three pilots were near the exit, shooting OZ soldiers along the way. As they reached the exit, they heard mobile suit gun fire and were in shock to see all the Mobile Dolls that OZ sent to the base. Heero contacted Duo. "Duo, mirage and fall back and head towards the safe house and we'll meet you there. We'll be able to escape since OZ hasn't set a human form as a target. Trowa, head towards the safehouse as well and escape at your own digression." "Roger" Duo said and left the base. He figured that Trowa would be alright on his own.

Trowa was about to leave when more Mobile Dolls came and soon he was surrounded by them. He fought them back, but more just kept coming. About fifteen minutes passed and Trowa was already panting.

Meanwhile, the other Gundam pilots were starting to wonder what was taking Trowa so long. Duo contacted Trowa. "Yo, Trowa, what's holding yah?" Trowa grunted, "More Mobile Dolls came and they've sent more backup." "Can you handle it, or do you need support?" Duo asked in concern. "I'm okay."

He was about to attack again when all the Dolls got into a formation and started attacking all at once. Heavyarms fell to the ground. "TROWA!!" Duo called out to the Latin pilot through the vidscreen. Soon the screen was completely covered in blood. "Damn, someone must be giving the Mobile Dolls direct commands…" Trowa passed out, leaving him vulnerable to the enemy.
