Weeks went by without a trace of Duo.Searching for the chestnut,winged beauty had been anything but fun.Every one had almost given up hope on finding the base Heero was in...Until.

"Heero!Look,"Quatre whispered pointing at a small mound of trees.

"What,"Heero asked taking his binoculars and looking.

"That man.Don't you think he's a little out of place,"Quatre asked.

"Hai....Why would someone be all the way out here....unless they're protecting something,"Heero said to himself.

"This could be the base you were at Heero.Just covered in trees now,"Trowa said.

"Hai....It was in this area,but....where did all of those trees come from?The base was huge as I remember,"Heero said dropping the binoculars and letting them hang around his neck.

"It's a lab Heero.Anything is possible.If Duo is in there we may need to act now,"Quatre said.

"We should act against the lab even if Duo isn't in there.It's cruel to let the scientists experiment of people like they did us,"Trowa said.

"Agreed.We'll go in first and you check the rooms for Duo.I'll hack into their computer systems and look for other bases,"Heero said sending a brief glance at Trowa and Quatre.

"Alright,"Quatre nodded.

"If he isn't in there meet back out here in 3 hours....is that enough time,"Heero asked setting his watch.

"Plenty,"Trowa said climbing onto his legs.

"See you in there,"Heero said standing up before running through the trees to the base.

***********************************************************************************************************

After entering the base the trio split up to go and do their asigned jobs.

"Trowa?Do yout hink Wufei may be here too,"Quatre asked as they carefully made their way down the hall.

"It's a possibility,but we need to be quiet little one,"Trowa said looking for the labratory where Duo may be found.

"You're right,"Quatre nodded following behind Trowa.

"Here,"Trowa said comming to a door labeled lab.

"Here goes nothing,"Quatre said opening the door after using a key of magnetics on door's lock.

"My God,"Quatre gasped walking into the large labratory.

"Splie up.It'll be quicker to cover the area that way,"Trowa said.

"It'll take forever to look through this,"Quatre said bumping into a table full of sharp objects.

"Maybe not.Quatre come here,"Trowa said startting up at a large tall blackened cilinder tank.

"What is it Trowa,"Quatrea sked walking up next to Trowa.

"What do you see,"Trowa asked pointing to the top of the tank.

"Wing tips!...DUO,"Quatre yelled running to the controls of the tank.

"Be careful Quatre.Just light the tank,"Trowa said.

"Ok,"Quatre nodded pressing a few buttons.With loud clicks lights in the tank cam on.First dimly at the bottom of the tank,then dimly at the top of the tank.Then the dim lights flashed on brightly.

"Oh my God,"Quatre gasped clasping his hand over his mouth and hiding his face in Trowa's chest.

"Better tell Heero we've found the remains of Duo,"Trowa said staring up at the figure floating in the tank.
