Disclaimer: Standard, I don't own nothing...

Sorry it took so loong, it's not my fault. Maybe it is. Oh well...I'm clueless. Hehe. I think this is the last chapter, maybe two. Three tops I guess. On with the show.


^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^

Heero walked calmly but cautiously into the basement. Harris was standing on an evelated metal platform. To his left, Relena was strapped to the wall. Next to her, a very bruised Richard was strapped to the wall. Heero turned to look at the right. Duo was hanging in a metal cage. Underneath was a gaint hole. Peering into the hole, Heero saw purple liquid.

'Acid! What the heck?'

"Hey Heero bud. Sorry about this... tried...too strong...I....."

"Chill out Duo. Don't worry about it."

"I wouldn't be so confident Yuy."

Heero looked up at Harris. The platform Harris was standing on slowly rotated so Heero could see his face.

"Harris, so you're still that physco out for power huh?"

"HAHA!!! Yuy, is that any way to greet an old friend?"

"Old yes, you are old. Friend, no, not on your life!"

"HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!"

Harris shook his head.

"Heero, Heero, Heero. My old friend, leave it to you to fall in love with a married woman!"

"Yeah Harris, I guess that was always your forte."

Harris grew red. Then, he snapped back his head and laughed.

"My, fiery friend, I still have your lover. Nad your friend. But first, a test."

Harris turned to Richard.

"This is your competition Heero?"

Harris eyed Heero. Heero merely shrugged.

"Not my fault."

Harris smiled. He chuckled and shook his head.

"Now, Perry, here is your choice. You can save Miss Peacecraft,"

He snapped his fingers. A guard punched a few keys on the keyboard. Another hole appeared in front of Harris' platform.

"Or, you can jump in and save yourself."

Harris rose to his full height. The guard again punched some keys and Richard's shackles were released. Richard looked at Relena, and then the tunnel.

"Nice knowing you Relena. Sorry, but I come first."

Richard ran towards the tunnel. A shot rang out in the room. Richard fell to the ground, his face twisted with pain. He was cluching his right leg.

"I should of killed you, you dishonorable slug! But no, I want you to suffer for the rest of your life! Your cripl;ed now. Guards, amputate his legs, then throw him out!"

The guards saluted and dragged a screamign Richard out.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!! PLEASE!!!!"

Heeor looked at Harris and raised an eybrow. Harris shrugged. Heero smiled slightly and walked up the stairs to the platfom Harris was standing on.

"Hm?"

"Well, you know how I feel on certain things. Especially how I hate people who save themselves above others."

"It's human instinct o save yourself Harris."

"I know Odin."

Heero's head snapped up.

"I told not to call me Odin."

"But it suits you more than Heero."

Heero turned to relena, who was frozen, not knowing what to do. Heero smiled at her.

"You okay Lena?"

"Uh.........yeah I guess. Heero..."

Harris stood next to Heero.

"His name's Odin."

"I'm not Adin. Not anymore."

"You can't deny your name you know? You're a Lowe."

Heero looked at Relena. Relena looked at him puzzle. Then, her eyes widened.

"Lowe? But, Odin Lowe killed Heero Yuy. Oh my god..."

Relena looked at Heero. Heero turned away from her glaze.

"Ha, Odin, guess she found out! Too bad."

"Harris..."

"Sorry master."

Heero's head snapped up again.

"Stop it!"

"But, you are my young master."

"Not anymore I said!"

"You are a Lowe, strong and proud. Your name stretches across the world. Your family's fame and fortune. But your family had a dark side, the side no one knew about. We were to kill Relena Peacecraft, but then we found you master."

Heero looked at Relena, afraid to see her reaction. Afraid he'll find hate, coldness, disguise, or even worse, fear. Fear. Not of the men, but of him.

Heero finally me Relena' glaze. But her found no bitterness. Only love, with a bit of confusion yes but love. They poured from her eyes. He forgot about his shame. He forgot about his name, he coud only looked into her aquamarine eyes as the love reached out to him. Told him she didn't care. Heero smiled.

"I win."

"No you don't Odin. No you don't. Choose, your friend, or your lover."

Heero spun around to discover Duo's cage slowly going down, towards the acid. Then he saw men approach Relena, three guards with guns to her head.

"Not much time left."

Heero jumped from the platform. He took out a needle and jammed it into his arm.

'I can't take more than one at a time. But it's worth it, Duo and Relena.'

Heero pulled out his gun and took out the three guards. More rushed at Relena but Heero stopped them before they could relax.

'God, this speed! The STRENGTH! I feel ALIVE!!!'

Heero quickly spun around and aimed for the tiny grey box near Duo's cage. He fired and the box fried. Duo's cage stopped.

"Oh YEAH HEERO!!!! YOUR KICK AS!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!"

The cage door swung open and Duo jumped out. He raced towards the other side of the room but was stopped by guards. He looked on as Heero fought the guards, head on. One again 50! He was incredible but he saw Heero was getting tired and slowing down. He looked at his watch.

'SHIT!!! TWO HOURS!!! He can't bump more than one of those at a time too! DAMN Heero!'

Heero finally came to a very slow speed.

"Heero!"

Heero turned around to see Relena, her eyes clouded with tears and her eyes shome with concern.

"Relena."

The guards took this moment to over power him. Heero was suddenly attacked from all sides. He went down fast.

"NO!!! HEERO!!!"

The guards dragged Heero to the fromt of the patform.

"Well Odin. You would of lasted if you didn't pump all that serum into yourself. Duo would of died but you would be alive. I'm a man of my word. You know that."

"I...ca..re...to..too much....to...to let even...on...one of them..die."

"So in doing so you doomed yourself. So be it!"

The guards dragged a bloody Duo and released Relena. They dragged the three down to a small cell. They threw Heero in, his well toned body slammed hard against the metal wall. His body fell limp to the floor. They threw Duo in and pushed relena in. Relena and Duo rushed to Heero. Relena craddled Heero in her lap while Duo checked his wounds.

"Heero....oh Heero. How is he Duo?"

"Not good. That stuff he took is killing him."

"What stuff?"

"A serum that enhances the abilities. But once it's done, it does severe damage to the user."

Relena started to sob and her shoulders shook. Duo looked away.

"The others better get here soon."

Duo leaned back against the wall.

"This is not going well. Not well at all. Why don't things work out the waythey're suppose to?"

He looked over at Relena.

"Sorry Relena."

"I-it's okay...Du..Duo."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Something's wrong."

Trowa looked at his monitor at Quatre. Trowa's brow furrowed.

"How so?"

"I can feel it."

Wufei's face appeared on both their screens.

"Duo hasn't called in yet. Neither has Heero."

Quatre frown.

"That's how."

Trowa nodded.

"We need to tell Zechs now."

Wufei nodded.

"Dragon to Wind. Dragon to Wind."

"This is Wind, come in Dragon."

"There's something wrong. Prince can feel it. Silence too. Death and Wolf hasn't reported in yet."

"What? Wolf was to look for Relena. Damn."

"Wind, come in Wind."

"Yeah Noin?"

"The mobile dools are about finished. We need to go in and get Wolf, Death, and Peace. Now."

"Just what we were think Earth."

"Everyone, time to go in."

"YES MA'AM!!!"

"Sheesh guys."

**********************************************
Harris looked around.

"The Lowe family is to fall. But there is the heir. Odin Lowe Jr. will rise, but in his own way. NO, he has disgraced us for the last time."

Harris turned to the remaining guards.

"Bring them back."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Noin, Zechs, Trowa, Wufei, Quatre along with Sally and the Preventers raced down the corridor. The Gundam gang told the Preventers, excluding Sally to go the other way while they took the one to the right.
**************************************************
Heero, Duo and relena were once again placed in front of Harris.

"Ah dear Dear Master. We finish this, now. Pump this in him!"

Harris threw the needle at Duo.

"I'll fight in his place."

"NO!"

Heero, using his last once of strength pumped the liquid into himself.

"Heero! Stop!"

"I know what it'll do to you Duo. I didn't save your American ass to get yourself killed with something stupid."

Heero rose to his full height. Despite his wounds and the blood on his body, he looked down right intimidating. 6ft. 5in. of pure muscle. The serum pumped him up good. His battered shirt showed his well toned abs and chest.

"I've waited so long Odin."

"Me too."

Harris leap off the platform. The two walked around, staring at each other. Suddenly, Harris charged towards Heero and swung his right fist at Heero. Heero's arm blocked it adn swing his left at Harris' stomach. The fiesest fighting ever broke out. Thge door then flew down. The Gundam crew flew into the room. They killed the soldiers and freed Duo and relena. Duo was moving towards Heero and Harris when Wufei stopped him.

"It's unhonorable to interfer with a fight."

"Wufei..."

Trowa stopped Duo. Heero spoke up.

"If you interfer, I'll kill you if I get better."

"If?"

Heero momentarily looked at Duo and smiled warily. Heero matched Harris move to move, but Harris being older slowed down. Heero finished it with a crushing blow to his stomach.

"You win young master."

"It didn't have to end this way Harris."

"Yes it did. You are the heir to the Lowe family. It had to end this way."

"Well, good-bye old friend. I..."

Heero fell towards and landed on Harris' body. Harris put his arms around Heero's body.

"Good-bye master. I've seen you grow, it's been a pleasure to serve you. I'm coming master and mistress."
