Rematch: Part 4

I woke up abruptly to find Duo shaking me.

"Rise and shine..." Duo said.

I looked up at him.

"Mornin' sunshine." Duo teased.

"It's you..." I grumbled and turned over on my side, facing my back to him. I heard Quatre giggling.

"No, no. Don't go back to sleep..." Duo said.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"3 AM." he replied.
"You jerk..."

I heard Quatre trying to muffle a laugh.

Duo shook me again. I rolled over and slapped him.

"OW!" he shouted.

Everyone started laughing, though they tried not to.

I rolled back over to face away from Duo. Big mistake.

"Why you little..." he said.

He dove at me, grabbed me by the throat, and stood me up. I clenched my hand into a fist and punched him in the chin.

That loosened his grip on my throat.

Trowa and Wufei ran over and grabbed us right when we were ready to attack again. Duo got ready to punch me, but Wufei grabbed grabbed his wrist.

"Lemme at him..." Duo growled.
"Stop it you guys!" Quatre yelled.

I stopped, but Duo kept struggling.

"You're gunna get it, Heero..." Duo threatened.

Trowa let me go. He knew I wasn't going to bother attacking Duo again. I stood there, glaring at Duo. Trowa walked over and helped Wufei restrain him.

This morning had not been a good one.

Trowa and Wufei had to drag Duo back to his bed and hold him there for nearly a half-hour before he would calm down.

Although it was only 3:30 in the morning, it was bright out. That's what you get when you're on the moon.

I left our quarters and walked back to the observation area where the gundams were being held. There were a few computer consoles scattered around the area. I walked up to the nearest one and opened up a progress report from an hour ago.

"Hn..."

I pulled up a damage report from the night before. There weren't too many, but there were some minor repairs that needed to be made.

I typed in some commands and hacked into the mainframe. From there, I pulled up some information the base had in storage. What I found did surprise me. The OZies had used the situation to gather information on our gundams.

Another progress report came in. I opened it up and looked it over. The damages were repaired and the OZies were giving the gundams a final lookover.

By now, it's almost 4 AM. I looked down at the OZies, watching them check over the gundams. I turned my attention to the OZies checking over the Talgeese Two.

I pulled up some information on the Talgeese Two on the computer console. It was almost like the first Talgeese, except for a few differences.

This fight is going to be tough.

Zechs walked up to me. He didn't face me though, he looked down on the OZies, watching them work.

"Up early?" he asked.

I nodded. "Duo..."

I pulled up the stats of the gundams, to see if they had been refueled and reloaded. They were.

"Ready?" he asked.

I nodded again. "Let's go."

He led me to a room where we put on our space suites. He then continued to lead me to where the gundams and Talgeese Two were being held. It's a low-gravity area, so you could float to the ceiling if you tried.

Zechs floated up into the cockpit of the Talgeese Two and closed the hatch. I decided to use Wing ZERO. I floated into the cockpit and closed the hatch. I booted up the systems and waited while we were taxied out of the mobile suit storage area. We boosted to the battlefield once we were out of the base.

We faced eachother, and that's when the battle begun.
