The night was fresh, but not cold. Duo breathed in the fresh, cool air with a small smile on his
face. He already felt better and he started to wander around the camp aimesly. His mind was
almost turned off, since he was heading to the one place he now feared in the whole camp..
His steps were slow in heavy, as if he was in a dream. He was like drawn towards the building,
without exactly knowing he was going off. He opend the door to the medical center, still not
knowing where he was, even less what he was doing there. Walking in the empty halls, the
echo of his footsteps echoed quite loudly in the whole, almost empty building. The moon made
his shadow dance on the wall beside him. His long bang was wavering at each step, trailing behind
him. His head was half lowered when his steps came to an end, infront of a door. He blinked several
times and frowned, staring at the white floor. His eyes then slowly lifted up and he jumped back
when he finally realized where he was. His breath quickly accelerated and his gaze shifted around
the hall fast, in circles, making Duo dizzy and finally got him to lean on the wall. He stared at the
door infront of him. He knew exactly where he was, it was happening like in the nightmares..
Walking around, ending mysteriously up infront of the door where he saw red light come out of
under it.. His eyes lowered and he saw nothing but the silvery moonlight piercing through and..
2 darker spots. Duo looked back up, pushing himself to the hand and rested his hand on the
doorknob. Taking a deep, shaky breath in, her turned it and opend the door. At first, his eyes
saw nothing but something dark infront of him with something wavering, but slowly his eyes got
accustomed to the darkness and he saw Crystal infront of him. Her hairs were lightly floating in
the soft night breeze and her eyes were somewhat gleaming.. They were of a dark forest green!
Duo took 2 careful steps, extremly silently, when he thought he saw other shadows behind her.
Frowning, he concentrated on them.. And he finally started to hear..
- Evrything seems in place.. And ready to be set in motion..
- Good good.. You have the remote control? Good.. Lets get out.
The 2 shadows moved out. The light reflected on one's face, and Duo just couldn't ignore what
he had just seen. Two men were on Crystal's back, with tools. They had white tarots an huge
glasses with small robot arms moving around silently. They seemed pretty agile, when they jumped
through the window not even brushing the frame. Duo walked up to Crystal and tapped her shoulder
lightly, but got no reaction. Duo frowned and walked behind her. And he instantly wished he would
never had. Crystal's shirt had been rhipped open with a knife into a perfect square, revealing her
skin. The knife had seemed to be used after to cut her skin on.. A small metal door. Duo's eyes
widened as his hands rested on the cold, hard metal cage wich formed Cryssi's underskin. He took
a deep breath in..
..And screamed out louder than ever in his life.

- What's going on here?! Duo why are you awakening us all at this time of the night!
Heero, wich seemed quite mad to have been taken from his research post, walked to Duo. He
was the only one who had been awaken by his scream of death and he was already going to
give Duo alot of scowlings when he was done telling his story. Heero would have done it, it was
all roaming in his head since a moment, but it all vanished when he saw Crystal's back. Metal
cage. He rested his head on it and pulled it back feeling a weird energy getting into his skin when
he came in contact with it. That kind of metal was rare, and some of their gundams had parts
made of the metal. The minerals used to make it were in very low concentrations in the ground
and only small mines were found and quickly depleted. The rare metal was called the Shinen. And
having a human infront of him with an underskin made of the Shinen.. Wasn't a human.
- Now i know why OZ wants her.. And why the pain was delayed..
- I'll kill them all.. All OZ..
Heero stared at Duo. What he was seeing here was out of himself. Duo looked empty, yet
angered and sorrowful. Before Heero could stop the young pilot, he rushed to his gundam and
threw himself in the cockpit. Duo's long bangs were well covering his eyes and a bit of his face
as Heero walked behind him and yanked his hand off the ignition button.
- And risk you to get killed, your gundam destroyed and the best annhilated?
- I don't care.. Look at what..
- That OZ officer didn't know, none of them knew, only those who payed for this knew about what
she is Duo.
- What she is? She's a hu-
- She's an android.
- ..
Duo's head fell foward. Heero thought he'd seen a tear fall down but he shook his head and went
outside, towards the medical center. They had with them something unknown and perhaps dangerous
that could cause their destructions and lives, maybe many more as well. Then OZ would infiltrate
the HQ and destroy what they had worked on and bring up another war and maybe destroy the
space colonies along with it. The colonies.. The peace.. Evrything would be destroyed, only for this
one.. Girl?
- Duo, get off that gundam now. I'll contact Relena and..
- Arrrg! Shut up Heero! They'll get her and you know that! Get out!!
Duo yanked his gun and aimed it at Heero, wich knew he was more than serious. He stepped out of
the cockpit, and leaped on the ground as Duo ignited his gundam. Heero stepped back towards the
still Crystal. He went to touch the metal again, but before he could.. Her head snapped and she
took a dash towards the gundam Duo was piloting. In one agile jump she reached for the door as the
huge robot was in mid air. Heero stared blankly, for the girl had made a 20 feet jump in the air
with ease. He saw her force the door open, slip in.. and vanish from sight. Heero rushed towards
the other pilots, ordering them to get ready for combat.

- Hang on tight Crystal.. I'm gonna save ya, the god of death didn't say his last words just yet!
