~ Same thing as before peeps. I ain't making money off this. These aren't my characters, `cept the unicorns. Anyway, just read the story. Reviews are widely accepted~
With Amy fully bandaged the 5 GW boy's took the last surviving unicorn with them to the rebel base. No questions were asked as they rushed to the medical facilities. Duo noticed that many puzzled faces turned towards them. He only then realized what they must look like to the observer. Disheveled, sweaty, hair-unkempt, with tear streaked faces, running through a base with a wounded girl in their arms.
Amy was given over to an experienced medical team. The pilots were told to sit and wait, after taking a shower, the intern rudely pointed out. Heero just sent him a death glare and he skittered off. Duo still had trouble believing it, the Unicorns were decimated. He remembered the time he, Cara, and Cheryl were breaking out of a fully armed Oz base.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A bullet whizzed by his head as he was tackled around the waist.
"I would like you to live just a few minutes later," Cheryl said, rolling off him. "your shooting skills are needed."
"if you two are done down there, I could use some help up here" Cara said, refilling her gun. Duo was surprised to find himself smiling. Waiting for a lull in the bullets, he stepped around the corner, giving the enemy a clear target of himself, as he shot both his guns continuously, soldiers fell left and right in front of the Shinigami. Turning around coolly he blew the smoke from the barrel of his gun.
"No problems, stupid soldiers, like corn before the scythe." He said nonchalantly.
"well Mr.-I-am-so-good, would you like to run, or wait for another patrol?" Cheryl asked sarcastically. A bullet wized out of nowhere, grazing Cara's arm. She shot the sender of the metal between the eyes. Not even glancing at her wounded arm, she ran the length of the hall, turning left. Duo shrugged at Cheryl and quickly followed.
They ran silently for a minute before Cheryl noticed Cara's arm was leaving a trail of crimson liquid on the floor. Stopping suddenly, she quietly cleared her throat. The other 2 stopped as well and looked back at her questionly. The turquoise haired girl nodded to Cara's arm then down the hall, the way they had come. Understanding flickered in their eyes and Duo quickly bandaged the wound. Nodding her thanks, Cara resumed the lead. Duo noticed the sign over a door, it read in bright neon letters EXIT. Grabbing Cheryl's arm he led down the hall, Cara following. 'stupid Oz' he thought 'they practically tell us where to go'
They burst through the door, expecting to be hit with sunlight and green grass, however, it was another room they entered. Gasping against the bright light, Duo felt something hard and un-yielding strike his stomach. He crumpled to the floor, winded. Cara and Cheryl were facing similar problems. His eye's now adjusted to the light, he took in his surroundings. They were in a white room, small, but filled with soldiers, at least 10 were armed with large sticks, and some had guns as well. 'goodie' he thought bleakly.
"you pilot's were dumb enough to enter our trap" the voice laughed harshly, looking up, Cheryl noticed the owner was a lieutenant by his uniform. He buried another foot in Duo's stomach. Cara growled in rage. She weighed up the odds. She could probably take two or three with her to hell. The rest would either shoot or beat her to death. She was about to put this plan into motion when Cheryl beat her to it, as Cara jumped up to aide her friend, she remembered that damn mind reading of Cheryl's. taking down 2 soldiers with a flying kick, Cheryl glanced at Cara.
"it's not a 'damn' thing, it's an asset" she retorted, grabbing a gun from a wounded soldier, she shot several soldiers out of her way, Duo had taken care of the rest with Cara's help. Pointing the gun at the trembling Captains head, she growled out an order.
"3 seconds mister, then your fish bait. Why are you here?"
The soldier fainted dead away. Cheryl shot a confused look at Duo, who shrugged. Cara was taking guns from the other soldiers. Tossing one to Duo, she stood by the door.
"let's try this again" she said, whipping open the door she darted out. This time they were out in minutes. Running over to the fence surrounding the complex, they took it in a leap, hitting the grass running they resumed their sprint toward the tree grove on their right. An alarm rolled out along the still air.
"I think our missing presence has been discovered" Duo said in a snobby voice. Cheryl giggled at Duo as she pressed the self detonation button. The bombs the trio had placed around the base blew up. The entire base was thrown into flames, the alarm stopped.
"thank gosh for that, I have a headache" Cara complained. A black car pulled up outside the grove. The three pilots dove inside, as it drove off.
"how did it go?" Amanda asked, not taking her eyes off the road. Duo looked at the other two. Fear and alarm in all their eyes. They had sent Amanda to pick them up? 'oh great, now we're going to be road kill' Cheryl thought. Amanda didn't have her license yet, she'd failed the driving test 7 times. The car lunged to the side as the car suddenly changed lanes.
"Flicker! Flicker!" Cara yelled from the back.
"don't be a back seat driver!" Amanda sniffed.
"I wish I was" Duo murmured. He was thrown to the left as Amanda cut off an other poor driver.
Somehow, they made it back to the safe house in one piece. Duo and co. shuffled out. They were more hurt from the car ride then the Oz base. 'thank Shinigami for seat belts' Duo prayed. Heero looked up from his laptop.
"so, your all back in one piece." He said.
"barely," Duo mumbles, rubbing his head.
Amy tossed him a sandwich, catching it deftly, Duo took a bite. He smiled. Amy made the best sandwiches. Peanut butter and jelly. She also threw him a paper plate.
"don't spill crumbs on the floor" she muttered. Cheryl marched in, opening the fridge, she pulled out the milk. Emptying the carton into her cup. She sat on the counter.
Trowa walked in. he looked at the 3 pilots in the kitchen and promptly walked out again.
"wha-" Duo started, but was cut off by Amy.
"he's looking for Cara" she said with a knowing wink. Cheryl nearly spit her milk out. Trowa and Cara. She tried unsuccessfully to keep the milk in her mouth. Duo moved out of the line of fire.

Duo smiled at the memory. But it quickly disappeared at the look on his friends faces. Each with his own thoughts.
