This takes place right after Quatre destroys Sandrock, and is in space in the shuttle, unconscious. Duo has just been taken captive and Heero is planning to save him. I changed the plot around a bit.

I don't really care if the facts I have aren't correct. It's my fic; I can do what I want.

Disclaimer: I own none of the Gundam Wing characters.

Duo opened his eyes. There was something going on. A bunch of men were cheering, and he could pick out the words, "only three fourths left of them, boys! We're going to get them all!" Then there was more cheering. Duo wondered what on earth they could be so happy about. The only thing he knew that would make them act this way was the fact that he was going to die in a few hours.

There was a bang outside his door, and it opened to reveal Heero. He beckoned with his free hand, then threw him a gun. "Let's get going. You don't want to die in here, do you?"

Duo smiled and shook his head. "You bet I don't!"

Quatre opened his eyes for the third time that day to look upon a new scene. There were people everywhere. One of them looked at him. "He's up! Gundam, get going! Walk over to that shuttle. I'm not breaking my back anymore for you!" Quatre got painfully to his feet, wincing at the effort. It was even harder because his hands were tied in front of him. The man pushed him, and he stumbled. He started to walk towards the shuttle with no resistance. Normally he would have fought back, but he didn't have the strength to do it this time. As he walked out into the open, many cameras zoomed in on his face and he heard a reporter's voice, "the second Gundam pilot this week has been captured! There have been no clues as to what OZ plans to do with him, but it is favored that he will be executed as well as the pilot captured two days ago." Quatre blanched. So he wasn't the only one. Who else had gotten caught? Surely not Heero. Heero would kill himself before he allowed himself to get captured. He had proved that once before. Quatre hung his head in grief and shame, walking onto the shuttle.

The ride took almost no time whatsoever, and before Quatre had time to figure out where in space he was, he was thrown into a cell. He heard a pair of feet rush past him, whispering words he could just barely make out. It was Heero and Duo! Quatre jumped to his feet and banged on the door, yelling. But all that came out was a hoarse rasping sound. He was too dehydrated. With a sigh of disappointment, he sat back down. Heero and Duo, at least, would be all right.

"Heero, thanks for getting me out of that jam."

"Don't mention it."

The two passed a prison cell, but were in a hurry and didn't bother to see who was in it. Whoever it was, they would have to face whatever was coming to them on their own.

A guard rushed into the OZ officials meeting. "The Gundam pilot! He has escaped!"

"Which one?"

"The one we caught two days ago, sir!"

"No matter"

Duo and Heero ran past what looked like a meeting for the OZ officials. "No matter," they heard. "We'll just execute the other pilot" The two stopped with a halt. The voice continued. "Just execute the one we got today."

"The one with the blond hair, sir?"

"We've got two! The one with the long brown hair escaped, so we'll just execute the one with the blond hair! It's perfect! And I've got a few ideas."



A.N. Wow, you have no clue how much my heart jumped when I saw I had three reviews. Hee.

As for following the story line, I'm writing this because I didn't really like the story line. I've been known to re-write books because I don't like the ending…so that tells you just a little about me.
