*Duo, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei stared at the new comer*

Wufei: And who are you?

N.C.: I am the Ancient.

Trowa: *raises eyebrow* The...Ancient? What kind of name is that?

Ancient: It's MY name! But if you'd like, you can call me Zechs.

Quatre: *smiles an holds out hand* Nice to meet you Zechs. I'm Quatre.

Zechs: *shakes his hand* Hello. Who are you're companions?

Duo: I'm Duo, the warrior of Death!

Wufei: *rolls his eyes* Shut up Duo! I am Wufei.

Trowa: Trowa.

Zechs: *frowns* There should be five of you. Where's the fifth?

Duo: He was taken hostage by Cale, warlord of Corruption!

Zechs: What for?

Quatre: His boss, Relena, wanted him.

Zechs: That cannot be good.

Wufei: What do you propose we do?

Trowa: We fight. We must get Heero back!

Quatre: Right! But how?

Duo: We'll think of something.

*meanwhile, in Relena's dungeon*

Heero: *chained to the wall* What do you want from me?

Cale: My master just wants to talk to you. It won't hurt...unfortunately.

Heero: .....

Relena: *walks in* Hello young man.

Heero: *glares at her* Let me go.

Relena: But you just got here. You can't leave yet.

Heero: Let me go! *struggles against the chains*

Relena: Perhaps you should remain here 'til you come to your senses. *to Cale* Cale!

Cale: Yes Master?

Relena: You are in charge of gaurding him.

Cale: As you wish, Master. *takes up position outside of cell door*

Relena: *to Heero* I'll talk to you later, Cute stuff. *winks at him, then walks "suductively" out the door*

Heero: *after she's out of sight* GAG!!! *pretends to gag*

*Zechs and the other 4 warriors are still trying to come up with a plan to rescue Heero*

Wufei: I say we barge in there and teach that weak woman a lesson about justice!!

Quatre: Calm down, Wufei! We can't go into unkown territory without a plan.

Trowa: Quatre's right. We need to know what we're up against before even attempting to rescue Heero.

Duo: Yeah, but how are we going to figure that out?

Zechs: What about a scout?

Duo: A scout? Ya mean one of us go and see the enemy, then report back to the others?

Zechs: Exactly. But maybe two of you should go instead of just one.

Quatre: That's a good idea. Who's going to go?

Trowa: Well, we'd need someone with good stealth abilities for one.

Wufei: That would be Duo.

Duo: Woohoo!

Quatre: That's one. Who else should go?

Trowa: The other person should be able to make stratigic desicisons.

Wufei: And that sounds like Quatre. Sheesh. They get to have all the fun!

Quatre: Well, now, I wouldn't say that.

Wufei: And why not?

Quatre: Because there are a lot of risks involved.

Wufei: Sounds like fun to me.

Quatre: *throws hands up in the air*

Zechs: Nevermind that. Just go and see what things are like.

Duo: And how are we supposed to do that when we don't even know WHERE we're going?

Zechs: Heh, heh...That's a bit of a problem, huh? *Duo nods* Well, guess I'll have to get you there myself.

Wufei: Can we all go, or do Trowa and I have to stay here?

Zechs: You can go. Just make sure you don't get seperatd.

Trowa: Right.

*the 5 proceed to the entrance to Relena's lair*

*back in the dungeon*

Cale: *unchaining Heero* Come along boy. It's time to see Relena.

Heero: Yippie. Please let me know when the fun starts.

Cale: Shut up. *smacks him*

*meanwhile, in Relena's throne room*

Relena: *pacing back and forth* I can't wait 'til he gets here! This is going to be the best time of my life!!

Anubis: You mean ruling the human world isn't going to be the time of your life?

Relena: *stops pacing* Well there's that too. However, I think I'm going to marry that kid. *dreamy sigh*

Sekhmet: Marry him? But you don't even know his name.

Relena: That's true. Hmm... Dais! You go find out for me.

Dais: As you wish, Master. *teleports to Heero's location*

*Heero and Cale*

Cale: So kid...How do you feel knowing that you are about to meet a very powerful person?

Heero: She can go to hell.

Cale: That's no way to talk about my master, boy! Do it again and I'll hurt you!!

Heero: *glare* .....

*Dais appears before them*

Dais: Well, look what the wolf is dragging in.

Cale: Shut up Dais! What the hell do you want anyway??

Dais: Relena has sent me to ask a question of our....guest.

Cale: *looks at Heero* You wanna ask Mr. Frumpy Pants a question? *laughs* Go ahead and see if he answers you!

Dais: Ok! Boy, Relena wanst to know what your name is.

Heero: Why should I tell her? It's none of her business.

Dais: Clearly you don't understand. Relena WANTS to know your NAME. What is it?

Heero: *glares at him*

Dais: *loses his cool and grabs the front of Heero's shirt* Tell me your name, DAMNIT!!

Heero: *deadpan* No.

Dais: AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Cale: *laughing his butt off* I told you he wouldn't answer!

Dais: SHUT UP CALE! *teleports back to Relena's throne room*

Heero: He's high strung, isn't he?

Cale: Not usually.
