That night, pilots 01, 02, 04, and 05 were given a new joint mission, thus
leaving Trowa behind to move all of their belongings to the next safe-
house.
The mission was, as Duo so fondly dubbed it, a "shoot-em-up." A contact had passed on a rumor of a new prototype mobile suit being tested at a small military base. The Gundam pilots had been charged with the task of finding the base and destroying it, as well as destroying the rumored mobile suits, if they truly existed.
When the four young men arrived at their destination, they were greeted by a sleeping base.
"Heero, behind you!" Quatre shouted suddenly, his voice blasting through the comlinks of the four Gundams.
"Heero!" echoed WuFei and Duo. There was an identical quality in their voices, a desperate cry pleading simply for the safety of their comrade.
A deep blue mobile suit of a make none of the Gundam pilots had ever seen before was hovering in the air slightly above Wing, its gun aimed at the head of Gundam 01. At the same time the unknown suit launched a blast from its weapon, Heero struck backwards with one arm. Luckily, he managed to jar the aim of the other suit's attack, and avoided any major injuries to his own mobile suit.
Before the enemy pilot could attack again, a thermal scythe struck out and sliced the mech in half, ending the threat. Duo smiled darkly, his eyes narrowing. "Let's get 'em."
The four pilots headed closer to the base and began in earnest their mission. It was time for a little revenge.

"Ninmu kanryou." Heero said softly, staring down at the smoking rubble that had, only a short time ago, been an OZ base. His face was blank, but his eyes shone with satisfaction.
"Is everyone okay?" Quatre asked his companions. His concerned face flashed onto their screens.
"Never been better, Q. Kicking some OZ butt always makes me feel good, somehow." Duo half-growled, the cheerful smile on his face almost scary.
"I'm fine. Those weaklings weren't much of a challenge, with the exception of that first one." WuFei replied.
"I've sustained only minimal damage." Heero said, his tone flat. "It's time we head to the safe house Trowa prepared today."
Affirmative responses came from the other three pilots, and they all headed off to said location.
