This is the second time I've re-written this chapter before I even put it on fanfiction.net... I can't seem to get it right. Well, this time I will. In the last chapter, Savings and the boys, as well as Vinsfeld, were looking for Judecca. They had chased him as far as the sunken city Atlantis, and that's where I stopped. Anyways, you knew that already, so I'll try not to bore you to death and just start with the next chapter now. If anyone out there has a heart, reiew this! Say something! Tell me I'm the worst writer you've ever encountered! Anything is better than nothing. Ack... I should shut up now. On with the story...........
"So this is the lost city of atlantis. In the bermuda triangle. Odd, but then again so is everything else that's happened so far." Heero noted. "Well, I suppose we should start looking for Judecca so we can kill the bastard." The group stuck close together and began to maneuver through the maze of crumbled and cracked buildings. I can't help but feel as if I'm in some sort of danger... I don't think the others are. Just me, for some reason. Heero thought as they looked for a building that was intact enough for their enemy to be waiting in. "Look. Up ahead. Do you boys think he could be hiding in one of those buildings? They all seem to be rather well maintained." Savings pointed out to the others. "Well, I don't see anywhere else anyone could possibly hide, unless they can somehow manage to slide under a few tons of crushed metal mixed in with a few other things." Wufei replied, speaking on behalf of all of them, although they hadn't asked him to do so.
"Well, then, I suppose we should check them out systematically, don't you think?" Vinsfeld asked. "Well, I was about to suggest that we go into that one over there, since it looks like the perfect place for someone to be hiding, but... Well, I guess it would make more sense to look through them all one by one systematically so we don't end up searching the same ones again and again." Heero, who appeared to have decided to become the unofficial leader of the small group, reluctantly agreed. I have a horrible feeling that something is going to go wrong... And the feeling seems to get stronger the closer I get to that building... Heero led the others into the building on the far right. "Well, this place looks like it's completely empty. There's nothing in here, and nowhere anyone could hide." Trowa said and proposed that they check out the next building.
A few buildings down the line, they still had found no sign of Judecca. "It's like the guy just disappeared into thin air or something. Oh yeah, by the way, I'm hungry. Did anyone bring any food.?" Duo questioned, hoping someone had. "Well... I sure didn't bring anything to eat. But that last building was a diner of some sort, and I went and checked all over and found plenty of food." Quatre said as he led them into the small restaurant that they had just come out of. "None of it's ready to eat, obviously, so I'll just have to cook something quickly. It shouldn't take me long." Quatre assured his friends as he strolled into the kitchen and began to assemble a fairly large amount of ingredients. "This should just about do it. Well... For Heero, Trowa, Wufei, Savings, Vinsfeld and I, anyways. I should probably make enough for a few more people just in case Duo's still hungry."
Duo pulled out a deck of cards. "Hey, anyone up for a game of cards?" He asked, looking around the table for anyone willing to play. Heero knew that if someone didn't volunteer, Duo would drive them all crazy, and so he, against his better judgement, agreed to play a quick game. Duo looked lost in his thoughts for a few moments and then grinned a maniacal grin that should have signaled trouble, but Heero didn't seem to notice. "Well... Okay, how 'bout a game of strip poker?" Heero stared at Duo in disbelief, not sure of what he had just heard. "Uh... Could you repeat that?" He slowly mumbled just barely loud enough for Duo to hear. "Well, if you're too chicken..." Duo began. "You're on."
Back in the kitchen, Quatre was busily preparing their meal. "Hmmm... Just about all done. Shouldn't take more than a few more seconds." Quatre wandered off to find something for he and the others to drink. A small hole opened up over the food and something fell from the hole into Heeros food. "That should just about finish the job... All that's left is for him to walk into that building, and then we've got him. I still think creating that lab just for the purpose of getting that boy, and then leading him all the way over here, well... It seems like overkill. But that's what he told me to do, so I'm doing it." The hole closed up, and Quatre returned, having found two twelve packs of coke. He didn't even notice the tiny, almost invisible microchip that had been placed in Heeros food. "Good, the reserve food for Duo is finally finished." Quatre said as he carried the plates covered with food to the table where the others were waiting.
"Uh... Heero, You seem to have... Um... Misplaced your clothes." Quatre stated as he noticed that Heero was sitting in his chair completely naked. "I didn't know Duo was that good at poker... Never, ever play poker against Duo. Unless you want to lose your clothes." Heero said, his voice sounding both angry and embarrassed. Duo smiled smugly. "I wasn't good, you were just way too bad." He said, sticking his tongue out afterwards. Heero glared at Duo. "FOOD!!! Hey, wait a minute, I thought you were making food, not a light snack..." Duo remarked. "Duo, there's enough food on that plate to feed at least two of us." Trowa said, and then attempted to comfort Quatre. "Duo! Apologize to Quatre!" Trowa demanded. "Wow... Uh, sorry, Quatre. And, um, well... Could I have some more? This is the best food I've eaten in... Well, I guess in about ten years." Quatres face immediately brightened. "You really like it?" He asked happily. "Yeah! This stuff is great!" Wufei snorted. "Amazing. You mean you can actually taste that? I thought it went from the plate directly to your stomache, making no contact with your tongue whatsoever. Then again, you were shoveling it in so fast, I couldn't really tell."
After they had finished their meal, Heero informed Duo that he wanted his clothes back. "Hmmm... I'll be right back, I've got to think it over." Heero ran after Duo, but Duo somehow managed to enter a room with a lock on the door. "It probably isn't a very good idea to chase after your friends when you aren't wearing clothes. They might get the wrong idea!" Duo snickered. Heero pounded on the door for a minute or so before Duo finally came out. "What do you think? Do I look good in spandex?" Duo asked, grinning when he saw the look on Heeros face. Duos grin quickly turned to a look of terror. "Uh-oh... You're gonna kill me, aren't you?" Heero chased Duo back into the room in which the other guys were thinking about what to do, planning ahead in case there were traps inside the remaining building. Then Duo came tearing through the room. "HEEEEEEEEELP! QUATRE, HIDE ME!" Duo dove to the ground and slid behind Quatre.
"Duo?? What are you doing wearing Heeros clothes?" Quatre asked, not quite believing the scene before him. "Duo? I'm not Duo. I'm the invincible Heero Yuy! And I'm being chased by a butt-naked maniac!" Heero turned the corner and saw Duo peeking around Quatres legs. "He's seen me! Heeeeeeeelp!" Heero grabbed Duo by the arm and pulled him to his feet. "Duo. Give me my clothes. Now." Duo went back to the room he had came out of, but Heero stopped him. "Right now. As in this very second." Duo blushed and took off the clothes he had taken from Heero. Then he turned around and ran back to the room he had been headed for to get his clothes. Once Heero and Duo were dressed in their own clothes, they returned to the others and headed over to the next building.
This is it... Something bad is going to happen here. I just know it. Heero thought nervously as he considered bolting away, back to the doorway to the sphinx, back home, where he would supposedly be safe. He decided against doing so and led his friends into the building. "This is the right place, all right. Kinda reminds me of the lab under the school, only I haven't seen any monsters or tanks of acid yet." Duo whispered just barely audibly. It was indeed a laboratory of some kind, though it consisted of the typical mad scientist stuff. Test tubes all over the place, wires reaching across from one piece of machinery to another, other various contraptions strewn about the floor. A pink haired woman suddenly appeared to the left of the group. "Uh-oh... I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore. Hi, I'm Washu, nice to meet you, gotta go, bye!" The woman cheerily yelled as she ran out the door.
Heero walked into the center of the room to examine a piece of machinery that had particularly caught his eye. "I wonder what this is... It looks kind of like one of those mobile suits, but I've never seen one that looks like this before. And it's a lot smaller, too." Savings approached Heero, reached up to his face, and ripped his skin off. Heero gasped and stared at Savings as he realised it had been a disguise. "Judecca!!!" Judecca chuckled. "Yes, it's me. Welcome to my laboratory. Oh, yes, by the way, that is a miniature model of the Wing Zero. You'll find out all about it soon enough. But first I'm afraid you have to go into a coma so it'll be a bit easier to transform you into the 'perfect soldier.' Nighty-night!" Judecca flipped a switch on a small device he had produced from his pocket and Heero fell to the ground in silence.
Vinsfeld stared at the fallen boy and then pulled out a gun resembling the one Judecca had shot Duo with before he had been defeated the first time. "Guys, there isn't anything you can do for Heero. The only thing you can possibly do is get out of here as fast as you can. I'll keep Judecca from pursuing you. Leave, now!" Duo glanced at his now silent, unmoving friend and a tear formed in his eye. "Fine. Come on, we have to get out of here! We have to make sure we all live so that we can get Heero back!" Duo angrily managed to say, and he led the other boys back to the doorway that had led them to that dreadful city.
Once They Dug The Jet Out Of The Sand...
"I just wish we'd been able to do something to help Heero. I'm going to find out who's behind all this and I'll kill each and every one of them." Duo said to himself as he boarded the plane. "Everyone ready to go back home?" He asked. "Uh... Duo? Could you let someone else fly the jet this time?" Trowa asked. Duo walked over to Trowa and pushed him out of his seat. "Okay, I hereby give over my captainship to you." Duo told him, and sat next to Quatre. "But... I dont know how to fly a jet!" Trowa complained. "Hahaha! Neither do I!" Duo replied. "Yeah, well that's obvious." Trowa retorted. Trowa ran to the cockpit and soon after the plane flew up into the air and was taking the remaining four out of five boys back home.
End Of Section One
Keep in mind, this isn't the end of the whole thing. Just the first section. I know it wasn't nearly as long as I had said it would be, but I got a bit tired of them being 10, so I'm going to move on to the next section in which they are older. It could prove to be interesting. You never know unless you read it, do you? I really hope you review this, cause if I don't get some reviews pretty soon, I'm gonna just give up on this series and start writing another one instead. Hope ya liked it. Ciao!
