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 has ended.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Duo looked up as the final word was roared from the crowd. "One!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The soldier laughed wickedly as the last word was shouted. He pulled the lever. Quatre felt his feet slip out from under him, and he was left without any air. He shoved all the pain he felt into a corner of his mind to be dealt with later. He pulled his legs up and slipped them through his arms, which were tied at his back. He lifted his hands up and pulled the noose away from his neck, and caught his breath for a moment. The soldier wasn't please with this, and he punched Quatre, knocking him out. In an instant, the soldier jerked Quatre's arms behind his back again and woke the boy up with a slap to the face.
Duo knocked his second soldier out, and Heero quickly followed suit. They set off running towards Quatre, fighting their way through the crowd.
Quatre clung to his last bit of air stubbornly, trying his best to ignore the pain. But he knew it would be impossible to escape this one. He whimpered, trying to dispel all the agony he was feeling. He opened his eyes for a brief second, looking up into space. Knowing it would be the last thing he ever saw, Quatre fixed his eyes on one bright star. The Soul of Outer Space, he thought, before all else left him.
Duo reached the platform first, and he vaulted up on one hand. He pulled a knife out of his boot and sliced the rope that was holding Quatre up, catching the boy as he fell and setting him on the platform next to him. Heero had the soldier who had pulled the lever and tortured Quatre at knifepoint, his eyes glinting dangerously. Duo walked over to the man and took his gun from him and held it up in the air. "All right, listen up! Me an' my buddies here are going to leave.here and now. Anyone tries to stop us and this guy gets it, understand?" The crowd was deathly quiet, and the OZ soldiers started to whisper among themselves, trying to decide If the soldier was worth it. They decided he wasn't. Duo and Heero started down the platform, Heero with the soldier still at knifepoint, and Duo carrying the unconscious Quatre. The crowd parted for them wherever they went, fearing the deadly Gundams. But once they reached the end of the throng, Duo and Heero were attacked by the Oz soldiers. Neither had expected the onslaught that they received, and were subdued easily. Quatre was again prisoner, with the company of two others now.
