"We have to get her out now!" Makari screamed.
"We don't know where she's being kept," Quatre said.
"Then find her! I know Heero can find her!" Makari said desperately. Wufei put a comforting arm around her shoulders. Makari sobbed into Wufei's chest, soaking his shirt with tears.
"Yuy, you think you can find her?" Wufei asked. Heero nodded and got out his laptop. He started typing right away. Trowa sat on the couch, head in hands. Quatre walked over to him and out his hand on his shoulder.
"Are you going to be alright?" Quatre asked.
"I didn't get to talk to her," Trowa choked out. "And she still..." He couldn't say anything else. Trowa concentrated on keeping his tears in. There was a beep from the laptop.
"I think I've found her," Heero said. The others looked up and crowded around him.
"Where?" Makari demanded. They looked at the screen.
"That's in the jungle!" Duo cried. Heero nodded.
"Let's go now!" Makari said.
"Not yet. We have to recover and fix our Gundams first," Heero said.
"Kytia come first!" Makari insisted. Heero shook his head.
"Unless you want to go and get captured too. That wouln't help Kytai one bit." Makari bit her lip, knowing what he said was true. She walked to the hangar where the Gundams were kept. She was soon lost in determination to fix the Gundam so they could leave to get Kytia. She didn't hear Wufei calling her to come down until he was right next to her.
"Makari." Makari looked up and saw Wufei next to her.
"Oh, hi Wufei," she said. She went back to fixing Artic Blue. Wufei put a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on. You can finish later. You need to eat first," Wufei said. Makari looked like she was about to say something, but didn't. She sighed and followed Wufei. The others were already eating when she sat down. She quickly ate her food and went back to the hangar. The boys looked at each other.
"We better start on our Gundams too. If she's the only one done, she'll get the idea to go by herself," Wufei said. The others agreed and quickly finished their food. The went to the hangar and started on their Gundams right away. Makari was soon done with Artic Blue and helped Wufei with Nataku. Everyone was done with the help of the other, so they went to sleep.
The next day, they quickly ate their food and entered the cockpit of their Gundams. They headed out to where the base was attacked. Trowa and Makari jumped from the cockpit and ran into the building. The others looked after their Gundams as they did.
They ran to the cells where they kept the prisoners. There were guards guarding it, but Trowa and Makari got rid of them easily. They headed towards the cell at the end of the hall, where there were more guards. The guards were soon on the ground and Trowa knocked down the door. Inside was dark, but their eyes soon adjusted to it.
Huddled in the corner, was Kytia. She was shaking and looking at them with wide unseeing eyes. She was breathing short fast breaths as she whimpered. Her face was deathly pale and she looked like they had starved her. Trowa and Makari ran over to her.
"Kytia!" Makari yelled. She grabbed her friend, but quickly pulled her hand away. She was freezing. Trowa picked Kytia up and ignored the stinging cold from her skin. He ran with Makari to their Gundams. The others were still fighting, circled around their Gundams. Trowa entered the cockpit with Kytia as Makari entered her own Gundam.
"Let's go!" Wufei yelled. They escaped to the safe house without any rpoblems. Kytia remained silent throughout the trip.
They climbed out of their cockpits and ran over to Heavyarms. Trowa was coming out with Kytia. "Kytia!" Makari yelled. She hugged her friend, and was surprised when she didn't hug back. "Kytia, what's wrong?" Makari looked at her friend in the eye and gasped. Kytia's eyes did not seem to see her or anyone. She wasn't blind, but her eyes were misty and unseeing.
"I'm taking her to you room," Trowa said. He carried Kytia over to the room she had used before and laid her in bed. Makari followed closely behind and went to her friend's side right away.
"What's wrong with her?" Makari asked softly. "She's so cold, and her eyes..."
"They probably did something to her back there," Trowa said.
"They did," came Heero's voice from the doorway. Trowa and Makari looked up at him. "They injected a chemical inside her body that would make her talk. Its side effect is to cause the victim to be cold. It has to be cleared out of the body after used, but they probably left it in her. You can fight it, but it'll leave you cold forever. There isn't any known cures for the side effect. The pain they feel after being injected in could make the person go crazy."
Makaru gasped and held her friend's hand tight. "Oh Kytia. How could they do this to you?" she sobbed. "They probably wanted to know where the safe house was so they could attack."
"Let her sleep. We'll see what we can do for her tomorrow," Trowa said sadly. Makari nodded and wiped away her tears.
Makari slept fitfully that night, knowing that her best friend had gone through much pain. "You've suffered so much," Makari whispered. A tear fell onto Kytia's cheek. She stirred.
"Makari?" She whispered. Makari looked up.
"Kytia?" Makari said in surprise. "Your awake." Kytia whimpered. "You're remembering what happened, aren't you? Oh Kytia." Makari hugged her friend and the whimpering subsided. Makari fell asleep next to the bed as a figure wrapped a blanket around her.
