Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Well, now. I must admit, I was considering not continuing this fic. But I got a new review for it that changed my mind. So now I shall begin the second chapter of A Gundam On Elm Street....
Duo sat down on one of the yellowed chairs in front of the small table in an otherwise empty room. Dust flew in all directions immediately. "Yech... Gee, this place is so nice, I'll bet the former occupants just left yesterday... Did a great job with the dusting, too." He muttered, his voice heavy with sarcasm. "Hmmm... I wonder if I should just leave... I don't see why this Oz base should be any different from the others. So I shouldn't bother with destroying it, right? No point to it..." Duo stood from the chair and began pacing around the room. "Someone else can take care of it. I'm getting the hell out of here. I've got something a lot more important to do."
In minutes, Duo had packed up everything he had brought with him. He walked out the front door hurriedly and went to his car. He tossed all his stuff into the back seat and jumped into the drivers seat. He stuck the key in the ignition and turned it, but nothing happened. "Damn you..." Duo cursed the car as he got back out. He went to the front of the car and lifted up the hood to examine the engine. "Oh... Wow... Kinda hard to make a car without an engine move. Where hte hell did it go? It looks like everything connected to it was cut..." Duo looked around for any sign of the missing engine. "Who the hell did this?" Duo slammed his fists down on the hood, forcing it to close. Duo looked up, and saw someone standing on the roof of his car. The figure was covered in shadows, and Duo was only barely able to see that it was human. The figure tossed down the remnants of the cars engine. "You destroyed the engine?! What the hell is wrong with you?" The man jumped down from the roof of the car, and a small sliver of moonlight reflected off something metal on his hand.
Heero picked up the slashed parts of the bush and after examining them closely, tossed them into the bushes. "That doesn't seem right... Something about those cuts is more than just a little odd." He glanced around, attempting to catch a glance of anything that didn't belong. "For one thing, they're too fresh. They had to have been made less than a minute ago." Heero produced a gun seemingly out of nowhere and began walking around as quietly as he could. He heard a noise, someone talking, and ran around the corner of his house. At first, he didn't see anything more than an empty street with shadows mingling with the light of an occasional beam of light slipping through the clouds overhead. But then he saw someone in the distance. He was about to turn around when he recognized a familiar braid.
Trowa ran from the house and saw the same claws that had punctured the wall of his bedroom attached to the hand of a man running down the street. "You'd better pray that you're faster than me..." Trowa hissed as he began running after the retreating man. He followed the man for a few blocks until he lost sight of him momentarily. Trowa stopped under the branches of a tree hanging out over the street. "Where the hell'd he go?" Trowa questioned. Then he dove to the left, and a second later, four metal claws pierced the asphalt where he had been standing. "I thought that's where you were." The man jumped up and began running, and in the moment that he had been standing still, Trowa had gotten a glimpse of his face. "Wow... That's a face not even a mother could love." Trowa then realised he was escaping and continued the chase.
Heero ran towards Duo, and halfway there, he saw someone standing on Duos car. A moment later, that person threw something and then jumped off. "Well, I see he's managed to make some friends." The unknown man lunged towards Duo, but missed by a few centimeters. "Yup, that's Duo. I'd better go save him so I can at find out if he's been sent on the same mission as me." Heero approached the spot where the two combatants were, and held his gun level with Duos attackers head. "Get the hell out of here, or I'll shoot. Leave. NOW." The man suddenly whirled around faster than Heeros eyes could follow, and before he knew it, there were four red streaks across his chest, with matching lines ripped into his shirt. In seconds, there was no sign of the assailant, and Heero was laying on the ground. "Heero!" Duo yelled.
At that moment, Trowa shoved his way through some hedges lining the driveway. "Duo?! Heero?! What are you doing here?" Then Trowa saw Heeros chest. "Oh, shit... Let me guess, scary looking guy dressed in black with metal claws." Duo nodded his head. "Yeah, now do something useful!" Trowa shrugged helplessly. "Like what?" "Like tell me what to do, because I don't have a damn clue!" Heero stood up. "I'll... Be fine..." Duo rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever. You've survived a lot, but I'm not taking any chances. Trowa, call an ambulence, and I'll... Ask Heero what to do." Trowa nodded his head and ran into the house. "Heero? You're Mr. Perfect Soldier, so what am I supposed to do?" Heero gave Duo a quick walkthrough of what to do as he layed back down on the ground. "Alright, I can do that..." Trowa exited the house. "The phone isn't working for two reasons. One, the line was cut. Two, the lines are cut." Trowa gestured at the telephone pole above them as he informed them of the second reason the phone wouldn't work.
"Damn it! That's bad! Once again, Heero, you're Mr. Perfect Soldier, sop shouldn't you have some emergency supply of medical... Stuff?" Heero nodded his head. "Yeah." Then Heero told Duo how to get to his house. "Trowa? You heard him, right?" Trowa nodded his head. "Well, go! I'll stay here with Heero." Trowa ran off to get Heeros medical supplies, and Duo paced back and forth. "Duo... You were sent here to destroy an Oz base, weren't you?" Duo nodded his head. "Yeah. You too, huh?" "Yes. Trowa probably was, too, if we were. And if three of us are here, the other two must be here, as well. Which means that there is no Oz base." Duo gave Heero a puzzled look. "How'd you come to that conclusion?" "It's obvious. They wouldn't send all five of us to destroy a simple little Oz base."
Duo frowned. "But then why'd they send us?" Heero looked in the direction the clawed man had run. "My guess is either that they sent us to kill him... That they sent us to get killed by him... Or that they didn't send us at all." Duo sat on the trunk of his car. "Well, if they didn't send us, who did?" Heero gestured in the direction the man had run. "Once again, my guess is him. Or else someone working for Oz." The next few minutes were spent in silence, until Trowa arrived. "I found the stuff... Here it is." He handed the medical kit to Duo, and Heero instructed him on how to use it. Once he had finished, Heero stood up again. "Not all that bad, for your first time. I lost a little more blood than I would have liked, but I'll live." Heero looked around. "Duo, what's your address? Duo glanced at the numbers on his door. "1010. Why?" "Mines 2121." Heero replied. "So what?" Heero turned to Trowa. "What's yours?" After a few moments, Trowa replied with "0505." Heero nodded his head. "We're going to 0404 Elm Street. after that, 3232 Elm Street."
"Why?" Trowa asked. "Quatre is in one of those, and Wufeis in the other." "How'd you know that?" Duo asked. "I'll tell you later. We have to hurry and go, or else that guy that did this to me might get there first." Heero gestured to the bandages on his chest. "Okay, then." Duo began running down the street. "Follow me, I know where it is!"
Ladeedadeeda.... By the way, if you figure out what I did with the addresses, you'll end up with the name of the person who sent the gundam pilots to Elm Street. If you add an A to the end of the result of the addresses, anyways. And now, I shall exit....
