Operation Falling Star 2
"Well then let's get this party underway," Shelby yelled and charged into battle hacking
mobile suits out of her way. The others followed her example and charged into the mobile suits.
"Leos and Aries, what do they think we are, ametures?" Cassady asked.
"Don't get cocky, it'll get you killed," Justin said as he attacked a group of mobile suits
with his special cyclone attack. He brought his two energy scythes together to make a cyclone of
energy heading towards a group of mobile suits.
"Go Justin!!" Cassady said as Justin took out a large area of the mobile suits. Cassady
fired on an area with the tiger claw that was on one of her arms. A blast of some blue thing
passed by them all.
"What the heck was that??" Shelby asked.
"Sorry," Mindy said.
"What was it?" Shelby asked.
"Liquid nitrgen, hyrogen, and acid that freezes the enemy suit and melts it, or I can disable
it," Mindy said simply.
"Just don't shoot it near me," Shelby said and continued her attack on the mobile suits. A
huge fireball flew over her head and hit the mobile suits sneaking up behind her. "Thanks
Gouka!" She called out then thought, 'What is with the fire and ice thing?'
"Shelby watch out!!!" Cassady screamed. Shelby whirled her gundam around to face a
blast. "SHELBY!!!" Cassady screamed again as DeathStar got hit head on.
"SHELBY, NO!!!!!!!" Micheal yelled and rushed as fast as he could over to the gundam
gundam with it's face to the ground.
"Guys? Guys?!!" Shelby called through the radio and only recieved static. "I must have
killed my radio," she said and grimaced, her left shoulder was dislocated. She moved her hands
slowly to the joysticks. Slowly the gundam DeathStar rose up off of the ground. She saw the
group of mobile suits that had massed to attack her. "You DIE now," Shelby yelled and flew
above the group and took out a plasma cannon. A plasma cannon shot through any metal and
was the most powerful cannon now. A purple glow formed around the rim and then a ball of
energy shot out and hit the mobile suits with a flash of light.
The mobile suits were taken out in a flash along with the base.
"Mission Complete," Shelby said, even though no one could hear her. She signaled with
her gundam for everyone to land. All six of the gundams landed on the ground makeing the dust
fly around. Everyone opened their cockpits and stepped out, Shelby with difficulty. She had to
force the cockpit open and then crawled over to the rope waiting to lower her down. When she
was on the ground all of the other pilots surrounded her.
"What happened?" Mindy asked, concerned.
"A blast got me frontside and I twisted as I fell. My radio is totally out," Shelby gasped
out. She had blood running down her forehead and out of the corner of her mouth. All of the
pilots had at least some bruises, but Shelby was by far the worst. "I'll be okay," Shelby said and
smiled weakly. "How does our first victory feel?"
"Great," Justin said with a concerned smile.
"Aww, come on you guys lighten up," Shelby said cheerfully, "it's only a couple of
scratches." 'And a dislocated shoulder.'
"Shall we go back to our grandparents' house now?" Sam asked.
"Sure, why not. We can all see Shelby's family," Cassady said without thinking.
"They aren't my family," Shelby said thickly. "Only grandpa and grandma. My parents
and brother never cared about me from the beginning, I just hoped that they might care now, but
as you can see, they don't." Micheal went over and started to clean all of the blood up off of
Shelby's face. She sniffed a little then smiled.
"Should we pull a prank?" she asked with a grin.
"Like what?" Mindy asked.
"I dunno, a prank?" Shelby said with a shrug.
"How about not?" Sam asked tiredly.
"Sure, okay,"Shelby said and yawned. She shivered in the summer night. "Is anyone else
cold?" she asked. Everyone else shook their heads. "Okay, probably just me. Where should we
stash our gundams?"
"How about that abandoned hangar near St. Gabreil's?" Justin suggested.
"Sounds fine with me," Micheal said.
"Sure, whatever," Shelby said.
"I'm in," Justin said.
"Kay," Cassady said.
"Fine," Mindy said.
"Let's plan to stay at our grandparents' house until we finish repairs, mission reports, and
until we get another mission. Shelby," Micheal asked, "how long do you think it'll taky you to fix
your gundam?"
"Umm, maybe a day or two," Shelby said after some thought.
"A day or two??" Justin asked astonished.
"I practically built it myself instead of just doing parts of it like you guys did. Besides, I'm
a great mechanic," Shelby said tiredly. 'I could get done quicker except for my arm. It's mainly
fixing the cockpit and repairing the radio. I could use some stealth too.'
"Let's get heading back before we're missed too much," Sam said and they all climbed
back into their gundams and flew off to the hangar.
* * *
It was 9:00 pm when the teens got back. They were greated by confused grandparents
and a mad Angela.
"Uh oh," Shelby whispered to Micheal as he pulled the car into the driveway.
"What?" he asked as he parked the car.
"Angela is PO ed," Shelby said, motioning to the enraged teen. She looked ready to kill.
More specificly kill Shelby. Everyone got out of their cars and said their prepared excuses to
their grandparents, which were accepted without suspicion, or so they thought.
"Umm, so how is everyone?" Shelby asked as they all went into the house.
"Your parents and brother left around 8," Duo said. Shelby tensed up but said nothing.
"So, what are _we_ going to do?" Sam asked everyone.
"How about Truth or Dare?" Duo asked happily. Hilde hit him over the head.
"We'er fifty and they're teens. That means we do something that all of us can do, and that
is appropriet, that means no strip poker, spin the bottle, ect. Most of us are related anyway,"
Hilde said in a reproving voice.
"Fine, fine. How about Monopoly?" Duo asked.
"Okay," six of the seven teens said. Shelby didn't say anything, she just kind of leaned
against Micheal for support. Since Arnold decided that he didn't want to play, he wanted to make
sure no one cheated, everyone paired up. Shelby and Micheal, Cassady and Justin, Sam and
Mindy, Angela and Relena, Hilde and Duo, Heero and Angel, Midii and Trowa, Quatre and
Dorothy, and Wufei and Sally. They all gathered around the game board, prepared to win.
"First roll, 8," Heero and Angel went first. Soon everyone had property and were trying
to find out the way to get the most property and money.
"MONOPOLY!!!" Shelby yelled when she and Micheal got a monopoly. Everyone else
sweatdropped.
"Umm, Shelby, you don't yell monopoly when you get a monopoly," Micheal said.
"Oooops," Shelby said and sweatdropped.
"Are you sure she's sane?" Justin whispered to Cassady.
"I heard that," Shelby said to them.
"I don't think she's sane at all," Cassady whispered back. Shelby humphed and everyone
laughed.
Around 11 the game ended with Micheal and Shelby winning with the BoardWalk and
ParkPlace monopoly. Everyone got up and stretched and walked around the house. Duo, Hilde,
Shelby, Micheal, Cassady, and Mindy went for food. The others went outside by the pool.
"I wander if there's any ice cream," Shelby muttered as she searced a freezer. She found a
carton of mint-chocolate-chip and smiled. (A/N: my fav!!^_^) She pulled out a bowl and heaped
the ice cream into it and went outside to join the others. Micheal had grabbed two sodas. Duo
and Hilde had a bag of chips, and Mindy and Cassady each had sodas and cookies.
Shelby went outside and sat in Micheal's lap. All of the chairs had been taken and she
didn't really want to sit on the ground, so she sat on Micheal's lap.
"Y'know, you have to share if you're gonna sit on me," Micheal said in her ear.
"I know," Shelby said and gave him a spoon. She took the soda he offered her and they
sat in silence eating ice cream and drinking soda as the others talked.
"Once when I was about your age, Duo decided that he didn't want to go to a formal
party," Hilde said. "So he decided that he could run away. Well, he didn't know that I had asked
Heero to keep an eye on him just in case this happens. So, Duo tries to run away, and naturally
Heero catches him. The funniest part was when Duo had to be dragged in and given to me like a
present."
"It wasn't my fault!" Duo protested. "You never told me that we didn't have to dress up
and didn't have to be all polite and stuff."
"Duo, it was a party for Trowa, he doesn't want you to dress up," Midii said and smiled at
Trowa who smiled in reply.
"Why did you run away?" Cassady asked Duo.
"I hated dressing up and I didn't want to go anywhere," Duo said.
"Oohh," Cassady said sarcasticly.
"I need to take a DNA test on her," Duo said. "I can't believe that she's your
granddaughter!"
"I take after my friend named Eraine who has a bigger mouth than anyone," Cassady said
proudly.
"Oh, so that's why you never shut up. _You_ want to be the biggest mouth in the world,"
Justin said calmly.
"Hey!! No soda and cookies for you," Cassady said indignatly.
"But, I want some soda and cookies," Justin said kawaiily.
"Oh fine," Cassady said, giving in. Justin smiled.
"You are weak having to beg," Sam told him.
"Dude, he sounds like you Wufei," Sally teased her husband.
"Injustice," Wufei muttered while everyone laughed.
"I don't see you don't any better," Mindy told Sam as she shared her soda and cookies
with her.
"I used to stalk Heero," Relena said while Heero shuttered. "Then I realized that I was
stupid and if someone threatens to kill you _don't_ stalk them or they will try. Then I met Arnold
and lived happily ever after," Relena said.
There were multiple "Aww,"s from the girls and snickerings from the guys.
"Hint, hint, Angela," Shelby whispered to Micheal.
"You're right there," Micheal whispered back as they continued to eat the ice cream.
The rest of the night prety much went that way until everyone was showed to their rooms
and went to sleep.

"Sir," an BFO soldier said to his commanding officer.
"Well, did you find any information on the new gundams?" The commanding officer asked
impatiently.
"No Commander Armarad, Sir," the soldier said, revieling himself to be Thomas Maxwell.
"Very good Maxwell, any other news for me?" Commander Armarad asked.
"Yes, the ex-gundam pilots have no way to rataliate or any means of a will to fight is,"
Thomas said.
"Very good Leutenant. You are dismissed," Armarad said.
"Thank you sir," Thomas said and walked out of the office. 'I'll find you gundam pilots,
you just wait and see.'
Commander Armarad leaned back in his chair, then turned it around to look out of a
window in the base. The Maxwells were great military spies, even with the loss of their daughter
that they had been tyring to train to work for them. In the end they had had to have the house
bombed so that noone would suspect anything of them, and the little girl would be eliminated.
"We'll find you, gundam pilots, don't worry, we will," Armarad said and turned to the
task of locating all of the attacks against their organization.
* * *
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!," Shelby woke up screaming from her nightmare. She sat
up in bed gasping for breath and sweat running down her back and face. There was the sound of
the door next to her slamming open and someone running into her room. Micheal sat down next
to Shelby and helped her to breathe because she was hyperventilating.
"Shhh, shhh, it'll be okay," Micheal whispered to her and stroked her hair. Shelby started
crying and latched onto Micheal. He put his arms around her and let her cry into his shirt. Sfter a
few minutes Shelby had calmed down enough to stop crying.
"What happened?" Micheal asked Shelby when she had stopped crying.
"It was horrible. There's me with my parents when I was little and then they fade away,
then it's us, except for you, and all you see is a flash of light and hear screams, and all that is left
is smoking ashes, and then you come to me and Thomas kills you, and then this house gets blown
up with me in it," Shelby said quietly. The door opened quietly, but Micheal and Shelby didn't
move.
"What's the matter?" Justin asked as he came in. Shelby looked at him wierdly.
"How would you know? Micheal is the only one with a room anywhere near me," Shelby
said quietly.
"I'm a psycic, I could feel it," Justin said quietly. Shelby nodded and repeated the dream
for him. "That must have been bad," He said in a concerned tone of voice.
"It sure was," Shelby said and leaned into Micheal's arms. "You might want to go back to
bed to get some sleep," she told Justin who nodded and left. Shelby leaned into Micheal's arms
some more until she sat up.
"You don't have to stay," Shelby whispered to Micheal. He smiled down at her.
"I don't think I could sleep unless I know that you're asleep," he told her.
"I'm not going back to sleep," Shelby said. Micheal sighed.
"Yes you are," he said.
"Nope," Shelby said.
"You'll go to sleep if I have to make you," Micheal said.
"Fine, fine, I'll go to bed, but I won't sleep," Shelby said stubbornly.
"Don't take this wrong," Micheal said and climbed into bed next to her. With Micheal's
back to her's Shelby went to sleep peacefully.
In the morning Shelby woke up facing Micheal. He had his arms wrapped around her and
her face was buried into his chest. They're legs were all tangled together, and her arms were
around him. Shelby looked up into his sleeping face, 'This is probably the only time I'll get to see
him like this throughout this whole miserable war' she thought.
"Hey babe," Micheal said as he woke up and looked down at her.
"Hey," Shelby replied.
"How did you sleep?" Micheal asked her.
"Fine, thanks to you" Shelby replied gratefully. Micheal nodded and they got themselves
untangled. "I'm going to go take a shower," Shelby said and went into the bathroom that
connected to her room and locked the door. She took a shower and came out of the room with a
towel around her. "I forgot clothes," She said to Micheal when he gave her a look. She grabbed
some clothes and then went back into the bathroom. Shelby came out to find Micheal had his
clothes and a towel.
"Oh, so you're gonna take a shower in here," Shelby said skeptically.
"Yes, is that a problem?" Micheal asked.
"Nope," Shelby said and went about the task of brushing out her waist legnth hair. She
wasn't even half way through when Micheal came out of the bathroom washed, dressed, and his
hair dry.
"Do you want help?" He offered, Shelby looked up from her spot on the bed.
"I'd love it, thanks," Shelby said gratefully as he sat down behind her. Shelby gave
Micheal the brush and leaned forward so that he could brush it easier. After about thirty minutes
Shelby's hair was all brushed out and she put it into a braid. She was wearing a black spagetti
strap top, very baggy black jeans, black combat boots, and a long black overshirt un buttoned to
top it off. She coiled her hair around her head and put a black hat on over it, completely hiding
her long hair. Micheal was dressed in baggy blue jeans, black combat boots, and a white and red
tank top. His hair was brushed, but it looked messy all the same.
"I'm hungry, let's go get some food,"Shelby said.
"With your stomache and Duo's this place'll be eaten bare," Micheal teased. Shelby spun
around.
"Let's take this outside," she said teasingly pointing to the hall. Outside in the hall she
jumped onto his back intending for him to fall over.
"Not so fast," Micheal said and made it so it was a piggy back ride, not an attack at all.
"You're no fun," Shelby said cheerfully.
"I'm not?" Micheal asked and pretended to drop her. Shelby squeaked and held on
tighter.
"That's not funny," She grumbled indignatly while Micheal laughed.
"Hi peeps!" Cassady said as she bounded into the kitchen after them. She went right to
the fridge and grabbed some cake, fruit, and pizza.
"So I eat a lot huh?" Shelby said to Micheal as she grabbed some cereal. Justin came
down the stairs next and Shelby and Micheal nodded to him and he nodded back.
"Hi Justin!" Cassady said through a mouthful of pizza.
"What is she eating?" Justin asked Micheal and Shelby.
"Pizza," Sam said as he came into the dining room, "I can smell it." Cassady nodded
enthusiasticly and continued to eat.
"That's really nasty, pizza for breakfast," Mindy muttered as she entered after Sam. Sam
grabbed some waffles, Micheal grabbed some french toast, Justin grabbed some fruit, and Mindy
grabbed some poptarts. After everyone had finished their breakfast they went out onto the patio.
"Well, what do you all want to do?" Mindy asked.
"Swim!" Shelby said.
"I don't really care," Micheal said.
"That sounds okay," Mindy said.
"I don't want to," Sam said while everyone else sweatdropped.
"Fine, then we can swim after lunch," Cassady said.
"That's sounds good,"Justin said. A bump and an 'eeep' sounded from out in the hall.
They went out into the hall to find Angela sprawled on the floor.
"What happened to you?" Mindy asked concerned.
"I fell down the steps," Angela said coldly. She got up and brushed hard by Shelby's left
arm, which was still dislocated even though she didn't say it hurt, making Shelby wince. 'Ow' she
mouthed. The others ignored her and went and went back outside onto the patio. They didn't
really talk about anything, because it was a public place, and they didn't really want to talk to
Angela unless she wasn't going to rant about Micheal.
"Hey, how long have you guys been up?" Duo asked as he came outside around 11.
"Umm, about eight for me and nine for the others," Shelby said confused. "Why?"
"Wow, you guys get up early," Duo said.
"Naa, not really," Shelby said with a shrug.
Around midday everyone had woken up and had somehow migrated outside around the
pool. The teens were sitting under a shade while the elderly sat out in the sun. Out of nowhere
there came a rumbling sound.
"What the?" Zechs asked as some soldiers valted over the low wall in back of the pool.
"Surrender and no one will get hurt," one of them said.
"What is going on?" Quatre asked.
"You are all to be captured and taken back to headquarters," the soldier said.
"And what if we refuse?" Shelby asked angrily.
"We'll have to take all who resist by force," the soldier said confidently.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to resist then," Shelby said and quickly ran inside.
She ran up the stairs and into her room before the soldiers could register what she had said.
"Get her!!" the leader yelled.
Shelby grabbed her semi automatic machien gun and some knifes. She then jumped out of
her third story window.
"Miss me?" she asked the remaining soldiers and family and friends. She quickly shot the
soldiers and started to run. "Follow me." They all followed her until she went into the woods.
"Where are we going?" Duo asked.
"A hideout," Shelby replied. Actually it was a fake hideout because she suspected that
one or many of them were traiters. They entered the small hidden shelter and waited.
"Okay young lady, explain yourself," Heero demanded sternly. Shelby and the other teens
except foe Angela looked guilty.
"I can't," Shelby said and went to the far side of the shelter. Micheal followed and a
whispering conversation ensued, and the rest of the teen except for Angela joined in.
~*~
"We failed to capture the targets," the BFO officer said with a bowed head. His
commander stood up and paced.
"That's okay, these gundam pilots are proving to be trickyer than we thought," the
commander said, stroking his beard thoughtfully.

"Yes, the ex-gundam pilots have no way to rataliate or any means of a will to fight is,"
Thomas said.
"Very good Leutenant. You are dismissed," Armarad said.
"Thank you sir," Thomas said and walked out of the office. 'I'll find you gundam pilots,
you just wait and see.'
Commander Armarad leaned back in his chair, then turned it around to look out of a
window in the base. The Maxwells were great military spies, even with the loss of their daughter
that they had been tyring to train to work for them. In the end they had had to have the house
bombed so that noone would suspect anything of them, and the little girl would be eliminated.
"We'll find you, gundam pilots, don't worry, we will," Armarad said and turned to the
task of locating all of the attacks against their organization.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!," Shelby woke up screaming from her nightmare. She sat
up in bed gasping for breath and sweat running down her back and face. There was the sound of
the door next to her slamming open and someone running into her room. Micheal sat down next
to Shelby and helped her to breathe because she was hyperventilating.
"Shhh, shhh, it'll be okay," Micheal whispered to her and stroked her hair. Shelby started
crying and latched onto Micheal. He put his arms around her and let her cry into his shirt. Sfter a
few minutes Shelby had calmed down enough to stop crying.
"What happened?" Micheal asked Shelby when she had stopped crying.
"It was horrible. There's me with my parents when I was little and then they fade away,
then it's us, except for you, and all you see is a flash of light and hear screams, and all that is left
is smoking ashes, and then you come to me and Thomas kills you, and then this house gets blown
up with me in it," Shelby said quietly. The door opened quietly, but Micheal and Shelby didn't
move.
"What's the matter?" Justin asked as he came in. Shelby looked at him wierdly.
"How would you know? Micheal is the only one with a room anywhere near me," Shelby
said quietly.
"I'm a psycic, I could feel it," Justin said quietly. Shelby nodded and repeated the dream
for him. "That must have been bad," He said in a concerned tone of voice.
"It sure was," Shelby said and leaned into Micheal's arms. "You might want to go back to
bed to get some sleep," she told Justin who nodded and left. Shelby leaned into Micheal's arms
some more until she sat up.
"You don't have to stay," Shelby whispered to Micheal. He smiled down at her.
"I don't think I could sleep unless I know that you're asleep," he told her.
"I'm not going back to sleep," Shelby said. Micheal sighed.
"Yes you are," he said.
"Nope," Shelby said.
"You'll go to sleep if I have to make you," Micheal said.
"Fine, fine, I'll go to bed, but I won't sleep," Shelby said stubbornly.
"Don't take this wrong," Micheal said and climbed into bed next to her. With Micheal's
back to her's Shelby went to sleep peacefully.
In the morning Shelby woke up facing Micheal. He had his arms wrapped around her and
her face was buried into his chest. They're legs were all tangled together, and her arms were
around him. Shelby looked up into his sleeping face, 'This is probably the only time I'll get to see
him like this throughout this whole miserable war' she thought.
"Hey babe," Micheal said as he woke up and looked down at her.
"Hey," Shelby replied.
"How did you sleep?" Micheal asked her.
"Fine, thanks to you" Shelby replied gratefully. Micheal nodded and they got themselves
untangled. "I'm going to go take a shower," Shelby said and went into the bathroom that
connected to her room and locked the door. She took a shower and came out of the room with a
towel around her. "I forgot clothes," She said to Micheal when he gave her a look. She grabbed
some clothes and then went back into the bathroom. Shelby came out to find Micheal had his
clothes and a towel.
"Oh, so you're gonna take a shower in here," Shelby said skeptically.
"Yes, is that a problem?" Micheal asked.
"Nope," Shelby said and went about the task of brushing out her waist legnth hair. She
wasn't even half way through when Micheal came out of the bathroom washed, dressed, and his
hair dry.
"Do you want help?" He offered, Shelby looked up from her spot on the bed.
"I'd love it, thanks," Shelby said gratefully as he sat down behind her. Shelby gave
Micheal the brush and leaned forward so that he could brush it easier. After about thirty minutes
Shelby's hair was all brushed out and she put it into a braid. She was wearing a black spagetti
strap top, very baggy black jeans, black combat boots, and a long black overshirt un buttoned to
top it off. She coiled her hair around her head and put a black hat on over it, completely hiding
her long hair. Micheal was dressed in baggy blue jeans, black combat boots, and a white and red
tank top. His hair was brushed, but it looked messy all the same.
"I'm hungry, let's go get some food,"Shelby said.
"With your stomache and Duo's this place'll be eaten bare," Micheal teased. Shelby spun
around.
"Let's take this outside," she said teasingly pointing to the hall. Outside in the hall she
jumped onto his back intending for him to fall over.
"Not so fast," Micheal said and made it so it was a piggy back ride, not an attack at all.
"You're no fun," Shelby said cheerfully.
"I'm not?" Micheal asked and pretended to drop her. Shelby squeaked and held on
tighter.
"That's not funny," She grumbled indignatly while Micheal laughed.
"Hi peeps!" Cassady said as she bounded into the kitchen after them. She went right to
the fridge and grabbed some cake, fruit, and pizza.
"So I eat a lot huh?" Shelby said to Micheal as she grabbed some cereal. Justin came
down the stairs next and Shelby and Micheal nodded to him and he nodded back.
"Hi Justin!" Cassady said through a mouthful of pizza.
"What is she eating?" Justin asked Micheal and Shelby.
"Pizza," Sam said as he came into the dining room, "I can smell it." Cassady nodded
enthusiasticly and continued to eat.
"That's really nasty, pizza for breakfast," Mindy muttered as she entered after Sam. Sam
grabbed some waffles, Micheal grabbed some french toast, Justin grabbed some fruit, and Mindy
grabbed some poptarts. After everyone had finished their breakfast they went out onto the patio.
"Well, what do you all want to do?" Mindy asked.
"Swim!" Shelby said.
"I don't really care," Micheal said.
"That sounds okay," Mindy said.
"I don't want to," Sam said while everyone else sweatdropped.
"Fine, then we can swim after lunch," Cassady said.
"That's sounds good,"Justin said. A bump and an 'eeep' sounded from out in the hall.
They went out into the hall to find Angela sprawled on the floor.
"What happened to you?" Mindy asked concerned.
"I fell down the steps," Angela said coldly. She got up and brushed hard by Shelby's left
arm, which was still dislocated even though she didn't say it hurt, making Shelby wince. 'Ow' she
mouthed. The others ignored her and went and went back outside onto the patio. They didn't
really talk about anything, because it was a public place, and they didn't really want to talk to
Angela unless she wasn't going to rant about Micheal.
"Hey, how long have you guys been up?" Duo asked as he came outside around 11.
"Umm, about eight for me and nine for the others," Shelby said confused. "Why?"
"Wow, you guys get up early," Duo said.
"Naa, not really," Shelby said with a shrug.
Around midday everyone had woken up and had somehow migrated outside around the
pool. The teens were sitting under a shade while the elderly sat out in the sun. Out of nowhere
there came a rumbling sound.
"What the?" Zechs asked as some soldiers valted over the low wall in back of the pool.
"Surrender and no one will get hurt," one of them said.
"What is going on?" Quatre asked.
"You are all to be captured and taken back to headquarters," the soldier said.
"And what if we refuse?" Shelby asked angrily.
"We'll have to take all who resist by force," the soldier said confidently.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to resist then," Shelby said and quickly ran inside.
She ran up the stairs and into her room before the soldiers could register what she had said.
"Get her!!" the leader yelled.
Shelby grabbed her semi automatic machien gun and some knifes. She then jumped out of
her third story window.
"Miss me?" she asked the remaining soldiers and family and friends. She quickly shot the
soldiers and started to run. "Follow me." They all followed her until she went into the woods.
"Where are we going?" Duo asked.
"A hideout," Shelby replied. Actually it was a fake hideout because she suspected that
one or many of them were traiters. They entered the small hidden shelter and waited.
"Okay young lady, explain yourself," Heero demanded sternly. Shelby and the other teens
except foe Angela looked guilty.
"I can't," Shelby said and went to the far side of the shelter. Micheal followed and a
whispering conversation ensued, and the rest of the teen except for Angela joined in.

"We failed to capture the targets," the BFO officer said with a bowed head. His
commander stood up and paced.
"That's okay, these gundam pilots are proving to be trickyer than we thought," the
commander said, stroking his beard thoughtfully.
