Summary:
Quatre has been captured by OZ, and they let the people of the Colony "take a whack at him." He was hurt badly in those encounters, but his sister, Cassis, smuggled her way in to comfort him. She had to give him news of his hanging the next day.
A Soldier used a heated nail pressed into Quatre's back to try and get the boy to give him information about the other Gumdams. Quatre refused, and the countdown is about to begin.

Duo put all his anger at what was happening to his friend into a single punch, and knocked one of the soldiers out. "One down, three to go," he said grimly. They had to hurry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Quatre's mind went blank because of the pain. He stopped breathing, and all his muscles gave out. His legs went, leaving his dangling from his neck. Seeing that he could lose his prey, the soldier pulled back the nail and hoisted Quatre upright again. He went around in front of the boy and sneered in his face. "You know, Zero Four, I always keep my promises. And I said if you didn't tell me where the others were, I would make you eat this nail. So now I am." He grabbed Quatre's jaw and easily opened it. Quatre didn't have any strength left to resist. The soldier shoved the still-hot nail into Quatre's mouth, cutting open the back of his throat. Quatre tried to scream, but the nail was choking him. The soldier pulled it back out, and glared at Quatre, who was coughing up the blood from the cut in his throat. "You know what? That'll only kill you, and these people want to see a real hanging." He turned to the waiting crowd. "So you know what? It's time to hang Gundum Pilot Zero Four!" The crowd went wild with excitement and bloodlust. Grinning from ear to ear, the soldier turned back to the weak form of Quatre. "You don't know how glad I am to get this privilege." He checked once more to make sure the noose was around Quatre's neck securely, and made sure his hands were tied. After punching the Arabian in the face, the soldier went over to the lever that would control the trap door Quatre was standing on. He motioned to the crowd with his free hand, "Ten! Nine! Eight!" The crowd took it from there. "Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two!"
Duo heard the countdown begin, and yelled to Heero, "if we don't hurry, he's gonna get hung! Come on, we can do this…" The ever silent Heero nodded in agreement and tripped the guard he was fighting. He hit his head on the ground and was knocked out. There were only two left, and they were both growing lazy. Duo looked up as the final word was roared from the crowd. "One!"
A.N. Oh my gosh I'm having the worst case of Writers Block ever!. That's why this is so short. And I just realized my original ending isn't going to work. It kinda involved Quatre being of another race and having aliens and such doing battle…and yeah. So I've come up with a new ending, but it's kinda lame. So just to warn you, it's not the best.
Please Read and Review! I neeeeeeeeed reviews!!!!
