Hey everyone sorry this came so late. I was going to submit it earlier but I had to go over to my sister's house and I was there for like hours and she has no internet. Anyways I think I'll have one or two more parts after this. If all of u ppl like it I'm thinking of making a sequel. Well standard disclaimers apply and on with the story



Kate snapped her head up from looking at the gun and stared at the person holding it. "So soldier what are you doing here." Lieutenant Fanel asked evilly hitting her across the head with the gun. She fell to the floor. "Were you perhaps, going to help the gundam pilots escape." He said more as a statement than a question. He hit her again and motioned to one of his soldiers to bring her and walked off, the soldier followed hom dragging her. Fanel brought Kate to an empty room. Fanel disappeared for a moment and came out brandishing a whip and a cane. He came at her and tied her to the ceiling with a rope first. As she was dangling from the ceiling he proceeded to whip her while the other soldier who had brought her used the cane, all the while looking very ashamed and apologetic. That was all Kate remembered before she blacked out. Fanel continued to inflict pain until he saw that she had gone unconscious. He ordered the soldier to bring her down. Fanel picked her up and walked in the direction of the cells.

"Finally." Duo exclaimed as he was finally able to get his chains off. "Stop gloating and help us." Growled Heero. "Geez you guys, let me rest my hands a bit" Duo replied rubbing his raw wrists. The pilots glared at him. "Ok OK" he said holding his hands up in surrender. He had just finished taking off all their chains when they heard footsteps echoing in the corridor. They hid their hands in the shadows where their shackles were and pretended to be still chained. The first thing they saw was Fanel carrying a beaten, unconscious Kate into their cell. Fanel dropped Kate onto the floor and smirked at the pilots. Trowa jumped at him and had him and the soldier with him under control in the matter of seconds and handed them to Heero to watch over. Fanel looked at them with a terrified look. "H-how did you get out of those chains?" "We have our ways" Duo smirked. Trowa, meanwhile, was turning over the unconscious Kate to check her wounds. She had cuts all over her, courtesy of the whip, and had black and blue bruises all over her. Quatre gasped as her saw her. Trowa turned and glared angrily at the Fanel and moved to strangle him with his own bare hands. It took both Duo and Wufei to hold him back but they both looked like they wanted to kill him also. Heero knocked the soldier, that they had captured, unconscious and took his gun. He placed it at Fanel's temple and proceeded out the door the other pilots following with Trowa carrying Kate.

As they were walking Kate became conscious and found herself in Trowa's arms. She looked up weakly at him and smiled. Suddenly the little group was stopped by a large group of men with firearms. "Stay back and your commanding officer doesn't get hurt." Heero said harshly to the men. A man stepped out of the group of soldiers. "That's where you are wrong pilot 1 or should I call you Heero Yuy." The man smirked. "I'm the commanding officer there and as for the lieutenant it doesn't matter to me either way." The man said coldly. "I'm Colonel Cinert the son of General Cinert." The pilots looked at each other. Another Cinert? "I suggest you let those hostages of yours go and I don't even want to know why you did that to that woman you're carrying" Cinert said. "That's where you're mistaken Colonel. She was beaten by this lieutenant right here." Heero said pushing Fanel a little forward. Cold fury was in the colonel's eyes. "Fanel," he barked "didn't I tell you she was under my protection." "Sir she was stealing bombs and ammunition out of the storage room and I believe she was going to release the pilots." Fanel replied. The pilots looked at Kate in amazement. So that's why she was beaten, they thought. That's twice she's saved us, thought Heero and Trowa. Kate looked at the colonel and said, "Well I guess it can't be helped. I request a private audience with you colonel." Cinert looked a little surprised but put his indifference mask back on. "Fine. Let the lieutenant go first and relinquish your firearms." He replied casually. "No" cam Heero and the rest of the pilot's reply. Kate looked at them "Colonel I swear on my life these pilots will not hurt you if u won't hurt them. We will let the lieutenant go if you give us your word you will not harm us while we are in conference." Cinert stroked his chin thoughtfully. "It seems that you and the pilots seem like people of their word. Fine I'll grant your request." Heero looked reluctant to let the lieutenant go but one glare from Kate and he pushed the lieutenant into the crowd of Oz soldiers. "Follow me" the colonel said and walked off. The pilots followed.

They followed the colonel into the room and sat down. "Don't worry this room is safe there are no cameras or anything I've already had it debugged." He assured them. The pilots looked a bit nervous but sat down. There was a small bed in the corner of the room and Trowa placed Kate on it. "There's a first aid kit by the door, if you want" the colonel said. "Thank you." Trowa said a bit stiffly. "So what did you want to talk about." Soldier asked Citern. Kate sighed and moved her hands to her mask. She removed her mask and everyone gasped.
