Wowies, another chapter o_O....Anyways. This one is kinda...gonna be cut in half. First part pretty much has Azrael, Omega, Zephyr and Mithras getting to Geofront and a little more information on that along with Duo! He's with Heero at a private school to blend in and lay low for a while...but suddenly...Strange things go on when Duo gets accused by Heero of destroying a base though Duo never did. DAMN STRAIGHT THOSE BOTHERING WITH THIS ARE ALL LEFT HANGING--
Disclaimer: Don't own Ritsuko, Geofront, NERV, Duo, Heero, gundams, or any other MS or anything related to these. Gainax and them own Neon Genesis. Bandai and Sotsu Agency own Gundam Wing. I, however, own Azrael, Mithras, Zephyr, and Omega.
Chapter Two (Part One):
Waking up in the morning was terrible for the four girls. They had to wake up at six in the morning and hadn't fallen asleep until midnight. Omega used the coffee machine in their room to make everyone coffee before leaving, but Azrael didn't bother. She didn't mind coffee but never really ate or drank anything in the morning. The four girls left the hotel and then headed over to the nearest subway in Tokyo-3 which happened to be the Sunfire Toritsu(1). Instead of riding the subway however, Omega had looked at what Ritsuko had given them. Directions to the Sunfire Toritsu and four ID cards. She looked around the subway and noticed stairs going down underground. The girls headed down the stairs and looked around. Not many people were there. Mithras looked at the edge of the floor. It was just like the Metro subway that ran through the metropolitan Washington DC area.
"They have the space underneath to be safe from the trains in case of falling in, just like Dr. Akagi said. Just that we have to make sure we're not being watched...which is quite hard....." Mithras stated after peering over the edge for a moment.
"It's alright. They have it covered...." Omega pointed over to where there was yellow tape and in Japanese a sign was dangling from the tape translating to "Under Construction". The tape cut off to what looked like an unfinished portion of the subway with wires dangling from an uncovered ceiling. The girls looked around, noticing the several people near them waiting for the next train, and casually waited near a pillar holding up the surface level above them. Azrael pulled out of her jacket pocket her ID for the underground base, which amazingly was not discovered by OZ yet. New technology which OZ and the Alliance were completely unaware of in Japan were funded by a new corporation which was in league with the space colonies.
The ID did not have the real pictures of the girls, they were instead anime-styled pictures of the girls and only had their code names, along with an insignia for NERV. Azrael smirked slightly. Omega motioned for the others to follow her after a few minutes, noticing no one else around. They walked to the yellow tape and Zephyr stopped to look at the security camera above them. Omega stopped and noticed what Zephyr was looking at.
"It can't see us. Let's go," she ordered and crossed the yellow tape over to the unfinished part of the station. "Dr. Akagi said the entrance was...uh..."
Omega scratched her head, looking around, and then looking back at the letter in her hands which Ritsuko had left them. Zephyr and Mithras peered over Mary's shoulders and skimmed the letter.
"This way!" Zephyr grinned. "This is fun. We're exploring hidden passageways now."
Zephyr then noticed a metal wall which had a vertical slit in the center.
"That's it!" Omega took her ID card and slid it through the slit. Nothing happened. She tried again. Nothing happened. "Or maybe that's not it..."
"Here let me see," Azrael took the card from Omega's hands and then flipped it around. She then slid it through the slit and the metal wall seemed to ripple. "It's an illusion. And obviously that's a scanner."
"Gee thanks I didn't know I had it the wrong way..." Omega grinned. She touched the metal wall to find that it really was an illusion. She couldn't feel it at all. At the contact of her skin touching the hologram, the wall flickered, revealing what looked like a glass elevator. Zephyr, Mithras, and Azrael followed, sliding in their own ID cards and all four girls getting into the elevator. The elevator doors slid shut and the illusion solidified, looking once again like a metal wall.
"Kinda cramped in here! I'm a little claustrophobic too..." Mithras commented as the elevator moved down, looking through the glass elevator walls to see nothing but metal and dirt. "And it's dark..."
"We're moving underground I think, what do you expect-" Azrael was cut short when suddenly the elevator moved down into a cave. A cave that was somehow well-lit. It looked as if the sun was setting, the entire cave was tinted with various red and orange hues. At the bottom of the massive cave was a pyramid shaped building. It was a dark blue and had lights at the top. Another building was next to it and even trees were around. It was an amazing sight.
"There's a lake!!" Zephyr pressed her face against the glass. This was the infamous Geofront which they would train to become MS pilots in? It felt like it would be forever before they would reach the base, the cave was very large and already five minutes had gone by before they had made it halfway down the cave to the base. There were more elevator cable and tubes scattered around the Geofront.
It looks as if there are about twenty to thirty ways to get into Geofront....Azrael thought to herself. This was going to become quite interesting(2).

United States of America: California. New Edward's Private School.
Heero sat in front of his laptop. His Prussian blue eyes were concentrating on the laptop screen in front of his face. The only sounds in his dorm room were those of his fingers hitting the keyboard at an alarming rate. He was upset. A base that he had been keeping an eye on had been completely destroyed. It was taking a lot of time to get into OZ's files and find anything about the cause. Heero stopped hacking as a file suddenly came up with a picture. Straining his eyes, Heero looked at the picture for several minutes before reaching a conclusion. Then, he heard the door open. A braided baka was walking in and falling onto one of the beds. Heero swiveled the chair around, facing Duo, arms crossed. Duo didn't even realize Heero had been looking at him until two minutes later.
"Man that club was so much fun! Heero, you need to stop sitting around here and chill for just at day at least! Uh...Heero? What's up?" Duo stopped babbling and looked at Heero.
"Why did you do it," Heero's eyes were fixed into a slight glare. "You say you're going out to go clubbing with some friend and coincidentally enough, once you're gone, Deathscythe makes all Hell break loose at the San Jose Base."
Duo's eyes bulged. He would admit that he did take only one shot at the club the entire time he was there. He certainly didn't do any drugs. Last he remembered he DID go clubbing with his new friend, Jessica. They danced and met some other peers to chill with. So he obviously couldn't recall during that whole time taking his own mobile suit and rampaging through a base which Heero was keeping an eye on.
"Heero, Deathscythe is sitting right where I hid it ok? I didn't blow up a base. Whatever gave you that idea?" Duo sat up and for a response, Heero slid the chair out of the way and motioned for Duo to look at his laptop. Duo leaned slightly over to glance at the laptop's screen. Heero had hacked an OZ file open of a gundam amidst a large blaze of fire. It was dark and static in the image lessened the quality, but it definitely was Deathscythe. Duo recognized the shape anywhere.
"So if you weren't the one who did THAT then who did?" Heero raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Uh oh....C'mon Heero I know we've only been here for like two weeks, but trust me. That was not done by me. I'll go check on my gundam though and see if maybe someone decided to take Shinigami's vehicle for a spin," Duo said as he ran to the door. Heero watched Duo leave and then looked back at his laptop. He closed it and then grabbed a blue jacket, zipping it up. He opened a drawer under the desk his laptop rested on and took his gun as well. It was time to follow Duo and check things out for himself. Duo was already getting in the way of Heero's mission, and if Duo was up to anything, he was going to stop him.
END OF CHAPTER.....bwahahaha. This is such a fun way to eliminate boredom. For those who are actually interested and reading this....next part is gonna get interesting....Duo had better figure things out before Heero starts to find him a danger to the mission. Dun dun dun...
Notes:
1. Apparently my Japanese translator program says that "toritsu" is the word for metro.
2. Elevators are being used. And since Geofront isn't using the Evangelions this time...it'll be interesting to see how the MS for the four girls will be able to get their MS out of the base once they're ready to leave.
Well, once I get bored I'll add some more for those mildly interested.
