Last time:

"BWT?" Une noted the quiver of fear that Usagi's voice contained.

"Brain Wave Transmitter. Very effective in such cases when our guests don't answer our questions readily. It won't hurt… not much anyway," Treize shrugged casually, as if it were an everyday thing to do.

"Right away, Treize-sama," Une saluted him before doing as told.

"Oh Kami, what have I gotten myself into?!" Usagi asked herself after her captors untied her and left her in the darkness of her cell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usagi screamed in pain as yet another current of electricity was sent through her small frame. This had been going on for the past hour now, but still she refused to give in. She had managed to stop herself from crying out half an hour earlier, but now the pain was almost unbearable.

"Still refuse to talk? Well, we still have plenty of time ahead of us," Treize told her as she fought to stay conscious. They were the only ones in the room besides the technician who ran the BWT machine and Lady Une.

"And if you refuse to give us the information even then, the BWT has many other uses…" Une smirked as Usagi paled at these words. "It's a brainwasher as well as a torture device. It would be such fun to watch you kill your beloved pilots by your own hands wouldn't it?'

"Now, now Lady Une. It won't do to scare our guest like that. But I do think that those Gundams will be here soon for their little friend." Treize nodded. "Increase the intensity of the electrical current," he ordered the technician with them. "Now, where is Zechs? He was here just a while ago…"

"He's outside sir. He said he couldn't bear to see a lady in pain. He's too much of a gentle man at times!" Une retorted with disgust.

"It's quite all right, Lady Une. Remember, he does have his honor as the "Lightning Baron" after all," the leader of Oz soothed.

Usagi gave another agonized yell as the torture began again. Bolts of miniature lightning danced around her body as the machine sent current after current of electricity through her.

Outside, Zechs clenched his hands tightly into fists. He may have no feelings for this girl pilot, but he did pity her. No woman should go through this, Gundam pilot or not. Yet he could do nothing. He sighed and continued to wait for his superior's orders.

"You know what the splendid thing about the BWT is? The electrical shocks aren't so powerful as to kill, but just enough to… persuade other to talk," Treize voice made Usagi's eyes open. He smirked.

"Treize, sometimes I think you're a sadistic bastard," Usagi managed through clenched teeth.

"How dare you!" Une scowled, slapping the nearly unconscious girl.

"Quatre… I don't know how much more I can take of this… NO! I must be strong… for Quatre and the others, as well as the colonies… I can't… give up…" Usagi's thoughts were cut short as pain surged through her. She cried out once more before passing out.

"It seems she has fainted, sir," Une observed as she slumped forward in her seat.

"So she has. I must say I'm impressed. No one has ever held out this long. She shall make a fine addition to our troops don't you think?" Without waiting for an answer, he continued. "Have Zechs take our guest to her chambers and her wounds treated. It won't do if she will pass out like this tomorrow during our next chat."

"As you wish, sir," Une bowed before leaving to fetch Zechs.

Quatre stumbled as a flash of pain struck him without warning. He gave a strangled cry as he fell to his knees in the middle of the hangar where he had been making plans with his friends.

"Yo buddy, you okay there?" Duo looked down at him, concern apparent in his cobalt blue eyes.

"I… I don't know. I hurt all over for some reason… Ahh!" Quatre yelled in pain as he wrapped his arms around his body as if to shield himself. It was almost like it was someone else's pain… Someone whom he shared strong bonds with… Usagi!

"Quatre? What's wrong?" Trowa knelt down next to his friend.

"Usa… Something's happening to Usa!" whispered the blonde boy, horror-struck.

Note: What did you think? Huh, huh? I need reviews!!! J
