This is a story inspired by my good friend. She was telling me about some dream she had, which got a train of thought going through my head. So I gave it a little twist to start on a new story. Don't own the Gundam Wing boys, you know the routine.

CHAPTER 1- NEW RIVALS

"Heero back me up," Duo said across the com system. "I'm going to try an get into the station….. Heero what are you doing?!" He watched Heero's new Gundam take off towards the station they were attacking. It was a new base, enemy for sure. But obviously the people who built it weren't very prepared to have a surprise attack on them. And, of course, Duo wanted to try out his newly built Gundam. It was the newest model, considering the last one the Gundam pilots had they got rid of. At that time, they thought the war was over. It was suppose to be, but, like always, the Dr.'s just had to come up with something new. Duo certainly didn't mind too much. "Duo, wait here for a few minutes before going in," Heero's voice came over the com system, just before his Gundam disappeared from view. "Oh boy, mister hero again," Duo said as his scythe sliced through some type of Leo. "You'd think they'd learn to send some better defense, oh well….."

Heero had made his way through a back entrance, had no problem at all. It must have been a shuttle port, but for some reason wasn't heavily guarded. He got out of his Gundam and went deeper into the station on foot. He could hear his own footsteps most of the time, however, there was an occasional soldier here and there. He made it through fast, covering a lot of ground.

"Hey Duo, did we miss anything?" a familiar voice said over the com. "Not a thing Quatre. So you were able to get Trowa and Wu-man out here too?" "MAXWELL!" Wufei yelled over the intercom. Duo chuckled a little, and went to where Heero had disappeared, "I'm following where Heero entered, see yah later!" "Alright, we'll keep busy out here then," Quatre answered back. Duo went in deeper, following where scraps of metal were left. He spotted the shuttle port and entered. "Yep, went this way alright," he said looking around. He spotted the Gundam and landed near it, "must have gone in on foot. Guess I should, too." He got out and started after Heero. "Huh? Uh-oh," he said coming to a four-way intersection. He could here footsteps coming from two of them, but couldn't pinpoint it. "There's more then one person, that means soldiers, damn." He backed up towards the entrance he had just come out of. Up against the wall, he watched eighteen soldiers pass by him. "Huh, wonder where they're going, obviously not to back up the shuttle port," he whispered to himself, "guess I'll just follow." Slowly he followed the soldiers down one of the dark halls. They stopped by some kind of holding cells, *wonder what's in those* he thought. He felt something tap on his head. "Uh," he said, looking up to see a yellow shoe being pulled up to an open airshaft. *He's here already? Man* ran through his mind as he was helped up into the shaft. "Hey Heero," he whispered. They watched the soldiers through the opening. "What do you think they're doing?" Duo whispered to Heero. Heero just watched. *Okay* Duo thought as he returned to watching. The soldiers opened one on the cell doors. There was someone in them. Nine of them walked over to the limp body. The other nine opened the cell next to the first one. The soldiers in the first one went over to the person lying on the bed. "Get up," one of them growled through his teeth. "I said get up!" he yelled, then kicked the body. He kicked it three more times before the person moved. It stood up with its head down. "I think it's a girl," Duo said, "she has long hair." Suddenly the person charged the man that had kicked her. All eight of the others sprang into action. She fought out with what strength she had left; she looked pretty darn beat up. It took all of the men to restrain her; some were bleeding from being hit or kicked by her. The floor started to show drops of the red liquid. She kicked and yelled, knocking one of the guys out on the floor. They only had enough time to inject her with some kind of drug; twice they did it before her tension started to be relieved. She slowly stopped fighting so hard and eased to the floor. She looked very drowsy, almost sick, and was a very pale color.

The other men had entered the next cell. They walked over to the person sitting on the bed; it too looked like a girl. She didn't put up a fight, or it didn't look like it. They injected her once, but only got halfway done when she retaliated. She knocked all of them out with just a couple of punches and kicks. She jumped out of the cell and slammed the door behind her. "I think this is the time we get out and do something," Duo said to Heero. Heero nodded; they jumped out on the other men. All were down in a matter of minutes, all except the leader. He got up, attempting to run. The girl on the floor grabbed a gun and slowly stood up, "he's mine," she said in a harsh voice. There were two gunshots, one from two people. Both of them were down on the floor. The lead soldier was shot square in the forehead; blood was down his face mixing with the rest on the floor. The girl was on the floor with a familiar smile, looked almost like Duo's, eyes closed, wounded on the side. "She's not dead," Heero said walking over to the girl on the floor and kneeling down. "Get away from her," the other girl said walking over to the Gundam pilots, glaring at the one closest to her with a green tank top, "I don't know who you are, so leave." "Some thanks," Duo said, wiping the blood off his hand on his shirt, "I'm Duo Maxwell, this is my buddy, Heero…." "Yuy," the girl standing near him finished. "Uh, yah," Duo bent down to take a look at the girl on the floor, he lifted her head, "Damn! These girls can't be older then thirteen!" he exclaimed. "This one needs medical help," Heero said, picking up the girl and putting her over his shoulder. He walked over to the girl that was standing up, "we were the soldiers that were suppose to be sent out to fight you, and we're fourteen," she said. "Really? You two?" Duo said following Heero. "Do you know the quickest way out of here back to the shuttle spaceport in the south quadrant?" Heero asked. The girl nodded, "follow me."
