Clara walked over to Tori and Joanna and sat down. "What'd we do to deserve this?"

"Oh please! Do you even have to ask?!" Tori snapped.

"Ok, ok! Never mind! Gees, you people are so grumpy these days."

The door flew open. The light blinded them.

"So, these are the incredible Gundam pilots. Don't look so tuff now do you?" Someone said from out of the light.

Another person walked over to Clara and said, "You're one stubborn lil bitch, you know that?"

"Nika!!" Clara exclaimed getting up.

"I think you have been mistaken. I'm Officer KC Ishida. This is my partner, Officer Kayura Faun." "KC" announced.

"Kayura Faun!?" Tori exclaimed.

"Kayura" walked over to Tori. "Nice to meet you, Tanya Date."

"Don't call me that name!!!!"

"Why have you come in here in the first place?" Quatre asked.

"Oh, you haven't heard? We're the two responsible in deposing you if the other seven pilots don't show up in.. how many hours now, KC?"

"57 hours."

"If I were you, I'd start enjoying your life now." "Kayura" and "Nika" started to walk away.

"Oh, by the way. Here's your lunch." Nika said handing them a bowl of rice and chicken.

"Come on Kayura, we haven't got all day hanging around those losers." "KC" ordered. "Kayura" gave one look at Tori and winked.

"Huh?" Tori asked.


Once the door shut Clara said, "Well, at least this is a good lunch. You guys gonna eat?"

"You three eat. We can manage." Heero said.

Clara grabbed the spoon and dug into the bowl. She kept pounding into it. "What the?" Joanna dug her hand into the bowl. "Jo! Use a spoon! I thought that you were a lady!" Joanna pulled out a black device.

"You call this food?" She asked.

Tori turned it on.

Bailey showed up on the wall. "Sorry about the way that Nika and myself treated you guys. But we know that you could take it. Here's something that she downloaded that may come useful." Two mobile suits showed up then a map of the base.

Tori gasped. "That's the Flash and Trigger."

"That looks more like the ---" Quatre said.

"The Vayeate and the Mercurius." Heero muttered.

Case, meanwhile, was looking out the window sadly. "Case?" Relena asked walking into the room.

"Yes, Relena?" Case asked softly.

Relena stood next to him. "Why are you crying? Is it because of the Earth? Or the colonies?"

"No, it's not that." Case said sniffing, "You know those two Toss soldiers next to Cypress?"

"Yea? What about them?"

Case sniffed again. "One of them was .... was ..... Nika." Case tried to tell her and a whole stream of tears ran down his face.

Relena put his head on her shoulder. "Shh ... Calm down, Case ..."

"A Gundam!!!" A soldier shouted.

The Deathscythe popped out of the cloud of smoke.

"Who ever sees me is going to hell. The God of Death that's who I am." Duo said.

Then, there was some shooting from above. "Huh?" Two mobile suits came charging at him. A blue and red one. "The Mercurius and the Vayeate?"

"You've got the wrong Gundams, buddy!" Nika said and brought out her thermal energized chain and wrapped it around the Deathscythe's right arm making it release it's scythe. "Come on, do it, Kayura. You've got a clean shot."

"What? Kayura? --- Bailey??" Duo wondered.

"Kayura" had a huge beam rifle in her hand and hesitated to fire it.

"Goddammit, Kayura!!!! I said. DO IT!!!!"

"I can't do it, Nika. I can't do it." Bailey said and dropped her beam rifle.

"So, you're the famous Nika I've heard so much about?" Duo questioned.

"Good, so I don't have to explain anything." Nika looked over at Bailey and sighed. "Alright, Bailey. You're one lucky son of a bitch, Duo. Next time I'm not going to be so easy on you. Ya hear me?"

Duo bent down and got his scythe. "What will Cypress say when he finds out that you didn't do the job?"

"That's our problem-----" Nika told him.

"You need to get the others out of Scorpio." Bailey said.

"Oh, and how the hell am I going to do that?" Duo said sarcastically.

"Simple. We haul you in." Bailey replied.

"So that you can just treat me like a dog in there?! Noooo thanks! I'll pass, thank you very much!!"

"No, see, we'll damage your Gundam a little bit so that they are satisfied that we fought and handcuff you, but enough for you to get out. Then, you can make a run for it and free the others."

"Wait a minute. What about you two?"

"Us? Once you make a run for it, Nika and myself will cover you all the way. That's the way we will recuperate."

"Alright you've got a deal." Duo said and dropped his scythe. "Let's just get this over with because I know that I'm not gonna like it."

"Bailey, are you up to it?"

"Yea, this time it's an actual plan. Let's do it."

Bailey fired her beam rifle and destroyed some of Deathscythe's head and Nika burned Deathscythe's arm with her chain.

"Ok, I think that's enough." Duo said as some of his warning systems went off.

"Not yet." Nika held out her arms and legs. "Duo, short circuit my armor."

"Huh? How?"

"Just do what the God of Death does best." Bailey replied.

~*~

"48 more hours." Cypress announced.

"Corneal Cypress." Bailey called.

Cypress turned around.

"We got another pilot."

Cypress grinned. "Good, put him in the cell with the others."

They turned to leave but then, "Officer KC, may I have a word with you?" Cypress asked.

Nika walked to him. "Sir?"

"Tell me, did that one Gundam pilot put up a good fight?"

"More like child's play, sir."

"Then, why it is that the Flash and Trigger is badly damaged?"

"At the last moment he attacked us. Amazed Kayura and myself because his right arm, left leg, and head were short circuited."

"Interesting. Tell me, did you get your family off Earth?"

Nika looked down and said, "Unfortunately, they died in a battle."

"Why is it you don't shed tears?"

"Mom told me, 'Only shed the tears in the beginning and move on.' And that I have already done."

"Exquisite. You are now dismissed."

"Sir." Nika found Bailey and Duo waiting for her outside of the door.

Duo was in a TOSS uniform like them. "Where is the cell??" He asked.

"Follow us." Bailey replied.

And they walked to the right and kept going straight and finally took another right. Two soldiers covered the door.

"Let us in." Nika ordered.

"From who's orders?" One asked.

"Ours." Nika replied and knocked the man out as Bailey did the same.

"Duo, take Heero and the others to section 65. That's where the Gundams are located."

"What about my Gundam?"

"It's still able to kick some ass and able to fly so you'll be fine." Bailey responded.

That's when a red light came on.

"Blur and Gundam 03 now approaching." A voice announced.

"What? The Blur?" Nika asked.

"Duo, go!!" Bailey said.

"But---"

"No time ---- GO!!!" Nika shouted and pushed Duo in the cell, but put a stop before the door closed all the way.

"Officers KC and Kayura. There you are. Come, it is time for you to battle those Gundams in the Flash and Trigger." Cypress ordered.

"Sir." They responded.

"And where are you going?" Nika whispered.

"Huh?"

"Go and help Duo escape with the others. I've got something to settle."

"Sir, is it alright if I let KC handle this battle. I think she's got something to settle with one of the pilots."

"Oh, is this true, KC?"

"Yes, I've encountered that one Gundam, Blur, before and the pilot of that mobile suit killed one of elder brothers and I want revenge over his death."

"Ok, if you really wish it then so be it."

'And here's my way of recuperating.' Nika thought.

"Be careful." Bailey whispered.

"Don't worry about me, you should worry more about yourself." Nika said.

"Come along, Officer KC."

"Yes, sir."

Bailey watched Nika leave and headed back to the cell where the other Gundam pilots were being held. She stopped at the door and looked around. 'Had they escaped already?' She asked herself. Bailey pushed the button to open the door and WHAM!

"Oh, shit!" Duo said.

"WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!" Bailey shouted.

"Sorry."

"Son of a bitch! What the hell did you hit me with?"

"My elbow."

"Well, would that elbow of yours happen to be made of metal or something?!"

"Shhh... Someone's coming." Wufei announced.

Footsteps could be heard.

"Look the cell to the Gundam pilots is open!" A Toss soldier said.

Heero took out a gun from her belt and pointed it at the three soldiers.

"They're out! They're out! The Gundam pilots are out!!!!!"

"Shut up." Bailey said.

"Huh? Officer Kayura what are you doing?!"

"Listen to the girl. Shut. Up." Heero told them and fired the gun, killing all of the soldiers.

"Officer Kayura?" Joanna and Clara asked.

"Oh and you had better names?" Bailey snapped.

Both of them sweatdropped.

"Where to next?" Heero asked.

"Nika said something about leading you guys to section 65. She said that our Gundams are down there." Duo replied.

"Really? Well, which way is it?" Quatre asked.

"If I remember correctly it's this way." Bailey said and headed to the right.


As Bailey was running, she emptied out the bullets to her gun and reloaded the gun. "Here take this." She said tossing the gun back to Heero.

"Bailey, where are you going?" Clara asked as she headed the other direction.

"Don't worry about it. Keep going straight and take a left at the end."
