Chapter 3
"Quit fooling." Duo said happily. Apparently he didn't believe Heero when he said he was a Gundam Pilot.
"I'm not. I'm the pilot. . . . . that . . . . . . that never existed." Heero finished and hoisted Duo up again. No one was talking.
"Stop playing around." A man yelled angrily.
"I'm not, the doctor's who trained us was thinking of making a 5th pilot." Heero replied making up a story. "I was supposed to be that pilot, however they didn't think they'd need a fifth pilot out there wrecking havoc. So, my training plan was killed and I was tossed back onto the street to rot." He helped Duo stand on his own. He didn't think he needed to add anymore fuel to the fire right now. Duo stood uneasily and wavered for a moment before standing still. Heero nodded and pulled something out of his jeans pocket. It was a lock pick, he made quick work of the cuffs and let them drop to the ground, that's when the soldiers began to react.
"Hey!" One yelled out and reached a hand out, Heero's eyes flashed and in a minute the soldier had his arm twisted behind his back.
"One move and your arm breaks, understood?" Heero hissed in the soldier's ear. "Duo, I understand that you're in pain, but you have to snap out of it, what would Hilde say if she could see you now?" Duo stiffened.
"Hilde. . . . . ."
"C'mon Duo, think, she needs you and you're feeling sorry for yourself." Heero snapped as he let the soldier go and threw the older man to the ground. "Stop being a coward."
"I'm not! If you could have been there, you'd lose hope too." Duo retorted, anger working it's way through his system.
"I WAS there you moron. I know how it feels to lose hope, believe it or not I had front row seats to when Quatra lost it. I was there when the Vay-8 exploded. I saw everything." Heero finished his sentence. "Stop being a coward Duo." Heero hissed. Duo fumed, stepped up to Heero and decked him in the face. Silence. Heero turned his head back to Duo, a small bruise on his face. Duo took a step back looking slightly surprised. Heero was smiling.
"Welcome back." Heero whispered. Duo stared, then grinned. "You told me in . . . . in another time that the reason you fight is to see the universe in peace. You wanted to see a time when there was no war to pollute it, no people ruling the earth, no colonies and disputes, you told me that was your ideal vision of the future. If you try it can come true Duo." Heero declared still grinning. Duo was still, then smiled.
"Well you obviously know me well, you're right, that was my ideal vision. No more war sounds like a dream. I think I've found my motive to fight again." Duo declared with a grin. Heero nodded, no one was sure what happened next, in a flash about half the soldiers were down and Heero and Duo were making their way through the crowd. The odd thing was though, no one seemed to be stopping them, everyone was parting to make way for them, but they were stopping the OZ soldiers. Heero smiled.
"Thanks!" He yelled over his shoulder and ran on, it was surprising that Duo could run so fast after so many years of being cooped up in a cell. Heero had a feeling everything was going to be fine.
~~~
"So where to now?" Duo asked as the crouched low in an alley way.
"Sewers." Heero replied still looking over the corner for any signs of soldiers.
"S'cuse me?"
"We're heading for the location of the Rebel base." Heero replied.
"And you know where that is." Duo said sounding somewhat unconvinced.
"I got a guess. If that's not the rebel base then it's an OZ base and we'll be captured." Heero said still looking.
"WHAT?!"
"SSSSSHHHHHHH!" Heero hissed spinning around. "Okay, it's all clear. Let's go." He stood up and walked over to a manhole.
"Oh man, this is going to stink." Duo muttered as Heero moved the lid. First the Japanese boy dropped in, then Duo who decided to climb down on the ladder, and he closed the manhole. It was lighted by an electrical system as Duo dropped down next to Heero who waited patiently. Stuffing his hands in his pockets Heero trudged down the sopping wet cement. Duo was carefully sniffing the air, it was actually clean.
"Say buddy? You never told me your name." Duo remarked as they walked along the tunnel.
"It's Heero. Heero Yuy."
"WHAT?! He was assassinated on 165 A .C. You can't be him!"
"It was a code name, for when I was supposed to become a pilot, obviously in this reality I never did."
"You keep saying THIS reality, what is that supposed to mean?" Heero stopped suddenly causing Duo to crash his nose into the back of the youth's jacket.
"I'm not from this world, or at least, not this version." Heero replied, straight faced. Duo was staring.
"Meaning?"
"That world I come from, the war stopped over a year ago, peace went throughout the entire earth and the colonies. Relena was crowned Queen Relena and OZ died out, so did Treize. In the end peace was everywhere, you never went to prison, Quatra DID go berserk but me and Trowa got him to come back to his senses. Wufei also went over to OZ's side, but we got him back. The people were happy, and the last thing I remember is. . . . . . ."
"What?"
"Being shot. Then I wake up here." Heero said firmly. "And everything is flipped upside down." Duo gaped, it must have been a lot to take in.
"So you're saying that there's another world like this but COMPLETELY opposite?!" Heero nodded.
"HOLY CRAP!" Duo yelled. In that instant there was a few gun clicks and they were surrounded.
"Oops. . ." Duo gulped, Heero was unmoved.
"Is Sally Po among you?" The youth instead asked.
"Maybe, what's it to you?" A cold voice demanded.
"I need to talk to her. It's about Trowa, Quatra, and Wufei."
~~~
Heero and Duo now sat in chairs with their hands tied behind their backs. Sally came into the room.
"What do you want and how did you find us?" Duo was about to give reply when Heero cut in.
"I remembered this place when we were forced to hide down here to escape persecution by OZ."
"We?"
"The Gundam Pilots." Heero replied instantly. Sally became alert at that word 'Gundam' she looked at Duo and stiffened.
"You're Duo Maxwell, the pilot of Deathsythe!"
"Thanks for noticing." Duo said grinning.
"How'd did you escape?!"
"With a little help from him." Duo said tilting his head at Heero who shrugged. Sally was shocked.
"But we tried for years to get Duo out of that cell and you could do it in a day? You'd have to be a Gundam Pilot to do that!" She whispered in awe.
"I am."
"Pardon me?"
"I am a Gundam Pilot. I know it sounds crazy, and I'm not exactly a superstitious person either, so whether you believe me or not is not up to me." Heero said in a monotone. Sally was gaping.
"Now I understand that one of your leaders. Hilde I believe her name is?" Sally nodded. Heero smiled and stood up, the ropes that had tied his hands was now sitting in a heap on the ground. "I'm going to try and get her out of the jail. But I need to know where she is. Also we need to find the other pilots, we're going to need all the help we can get." Heero finished. Sally was gaping.
"How did you-?" She trailed off.
"You slowly break one string at a time off the rope and it weakens until you can break it." Heero answered. Duo was staring, his expression was somewhat annoyed.
"What the heck do we need help for?!" He demanded. Heero smiled. "We need help, because we're going to take down OZ. I'm going to make sure this world turns out the way it was supposed to."
