Once Lost, Now Found 12 by

Heero led Relena to a balcony and looked up. He turned around to face Relena. His eyes were shining with emotion and the clearest one was regret.

"Relena, the night you left, I was going to tell you something..."

"What?"

"I...forget it. It's too late now anyway."

"Heero, just tell me."

"I want to tell you..."

Heero bent down to kiss Relena and gently brushed his lips on Relena's. He pulled away and looked bewildered.

"I'm sorry Relena. I shouldn't' of..."

Suddenly, Heero pushed Relena and for the second time in a month, and Relena helplessly watched as the love of her life was shot because he was trying to save her, again. Everyone rushed towards the balcony and the Gundam boys and co. rushed in front. Duo and Trowa bent down and tried to stop Heero's bleeding.

"Aw...damn it Heero. Couldn't you of just gotten out of the way too! No one is worth it Heero. Especially not some one that rejected you!"

"D...Duo, y..you wou...l'd do it...for H..ilde."

"Yeah buddy, hold on."

Within minutes, the paramedics arrived and carried Heero away.

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

Pain, once again I feel only pain. And once again, not only physically, but also mentally. Relena...your very image drives me insane. You're out of my grasps and yet...I want you more than ever. I want to be the one you run to when you have trouble. The only one that sees your tears. The one to give you happiness. The one to love and treasure you. But I was right form the beginning, I don't deserve you. I will be, a friend...just a friend...

Meanwhile...

Zechs was pacing around and glaring at everyone. Duo glared at the older man.

"Stop pacing."

"MAKE ME MAXWELL!

Duo stood up and walked towards Zechs.

"If I wasn't doing this for Heero and Relena, I would beat the FUCK out of you right now. NOW, I've got to check on Heero."

Duo turned around and walked towards the room of the pilot of Zero Wing. Trowa followed Duo but not before sending a Heero Yuy Death Glare(tm) towards Zechs.

Duo walked down the hall and entered Duo's room. Duo walked over to Heero's bed and sat down on the chair. Trowa simply stood behind Duo and stared at Heero. Heero slowly opened his eyes and saw the smiling face of one Duo Maxwell.

"Hey Duo."

"Man, it must an omen."

"What?"

"That it's the second time you got shot in a month. One more and you could never wake up."

Duo looked at Trowa and frowned.

"I don't want to wake up. Not next time, not this time."

"Heero..."

"What ever Duo. So, is everything okay?"

"Uh...they didn't attack!"

"That's great. What's wrong? Come on, spill it."

"They uh...hehe...got Relena..."

"WHAT?!?!?!"

Heero sat up from bed and ran out the room. As if he knew where Zechs was, e went to the waiting room and put his soldier mask back on.

"Quatre."

"The night you were shoot, Relena went back to her bed room. Early next morning, Noin went to check on her and she was gone."

Heero nodded.

"Wefei."

"There were some scratch marks, but only near the bed. The sheets were ruffled but nothing was out of place."

"Must have been some fast working drugs."

Noin stared at Heero.

"How do you know that?"

"I know because that always happens. Besides, elementary my dear Noin."

Everyone stared at Heero. Heero gave a Duo 'What?!?!' look.

"Their base is on the moon, sector Beta-4. It's about 3 hrs. From here."

Heero took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Dr. J, are they ready? Good. Send them over. Wing? Beta-Alph-9-0-8. Got it? I need se 99. I need that much ammo. I DO!!! Okay... 15 minutes...got it."

Heero straightened himself and held out his hand. Duo gave Heero a bag. Heero reached in and grabbed a black tank top and a pair of baggy blue jeans. Heero put them on and took out a gun and tucked it in his jeans. Heero then dialed another number on his cell.

"Lady, this is Dark Angel. Get the troops ready. Have them blast off in 20 minutes. The coordinates are Alpha-Beta-9-0898-89. Okay...we'll meet you there. Take out the Prosuzes. Bye."

Heero walked out the door towards the hanger. Trowa followed Heero, behind him Duo, then Quatre, and finally Wefei. Noin and Zechs looked at them with a confused face and followed them. The walk was in silence and 5 minutes later, they reached the hanger.

"Now."

Everyone turned to Heero. Suddenly, a large aircraft approached and settled in the hanger. Heero walked towards the aircraft. The door opened and out came Dr. J.

"Heero."

"Got them?"

"Of course."

Heero turned back towards the others and nodded. Six huge crates were unloaded. Heero walked towards the farthest crates and mentioned for the group to follow him. The five young men followed Heero. Heero put his hand on a scanner.

"Perfect Soldier Heero Yuy."

He stood back and the wooden crate fell apart. Heero scanned his hand again and everyone gasped. The metal box was now opening up. Inside, were hundreds of bombs, handguns, shotguns, bows and arrows, knives, and lasers?

"Pick some out. You all have your usual duffels. Don't carry too much."

The boys started to pick out their weapons and stuffed them in their duffels. After Heero was finished, Heero walked over to Dr. J. Everyone followed him.

"I need more."

"Yes, how much."

"Enough to last 2 hours. That'll be all."

"Very well."

Dr. J reached into his bag and took out a needle and a bottle. He injected the needle with the blue liquid and put it on Heero's arm. Duo was about to snatch it but was too late. Dr. J injected it in him. Heero fell and cried out in pain. A minute later, he stood up and the emotionless mask was removed. Duo now had Dr, J against the wall.

"What the fuck did you do to HIM?!?!"

"Don't worry Duo."

Duo let go of Dr. J and now stared at Duo. Duo raised an eyebrow in question.

"Maxwell, that serum that I injected into Heero will make him the perfect soldier for a period of time. It will give him strength beyond normal standards. He will be smarter, faster, and stronger than he already is. He is once again the Perfect Soldier. We only used this for major missions. The side effects are that he will be very tired and will be emotionless for some time.

"Is that why he's so emotionless?"

"No. Heero shut his emotions away in order to be perfect to achieve peace. The serum simply played on the chemicals in his brain. It has different effects on different people. Heero's effect is that he would become even more emotionless."

Dr. J walked away, leaving a stunned Duo, staring at Heero.

Heero, I never knew. Heero...I don't know what to say. What can I say?
