Five Times Five

Hey, Okay, I won't quit just yet. I was just getting a little worried that some people were losing interest in this fic so I was thinking about stopping it. I guess not. That's good, I was a little nervous there. My birthday was on the 15th!!!!!! Happy Birthday to me!!! I'm offically 13! Goody 4 me!!! Well, I'll let you get on to the fic.

Five Times Five: I wanted to fly...

~Perfect Soldier,

I managed to slip by some of the guards in the cell and get this email to you and the other pilots. As you thought, I was binded by the spies, Usagi, Ami, Rei, and Makoto. Worse, I was brought here by the thought to be traitor Minako Aino. Minako arrived this morning on the jets and was bonded into a cell. The other four spies are here to. I warned you they could take any shape they thought nessesary. You and the other pilots should not have fallen for them. Yes, I know all of you well enough to know that you did so. As innocent as they look, they are killers like youselves. I found some information that would be useful for your use. But I cannot give it to you here, it would take to long and the guards should be waking up any minute. I need you and the others to come up here and get me and Minako out of here. She has some information as well. What we can tell you could possibly end this war, with the colonies victory. I'm in the column 78, cell 13. Minako will be in the specialized column 1, cell 56. Hurry, Minako is to be executed on April 21. We cannot afford to lose her.

Delete this message once you have read it enough times. Our lives are in your hands. You must get us out, even if it means facing Usagi and the rest themselves. I'm counting on you. DO NOT FAIL.

Dr. J~

Heero read the note over until he had it memorized and deleted it. Facing Usagi meant he would have to see her again. This time he would be ready. He got three guns together and put on in his boot, one on his back, and one in the slot at his side waist. He threw on his black leather trench coat. His mission was to get Dr. J and Minako out of the OZ HQ. He didn't have to kill Usagi, but he wanted to get it over with. He left his dorm at the Peacecraft Acadamey where he had been moved to ever since the manson was fitted. They had to replace everything to avoid the pellet smoke coming out of anything they had mistakenly missed.

He headed down the hall to Quatre's dorm whom he shared with Duo. *Poor Quatre.* Heero thought, and smirked, imagining the torture Quatre was having to deal with even being within a mile of the Shinigami. He knocked. Nothing. He knocked again and Duo answered. "Hey buddy boy, whatcha doin?" "Hn." "Thought so, come on in." He moved out of the way to let Heero in. He went to find Quatre, who was in his room. He to had received the email, and had a grave look on his face. He looked up as Heero entered the room. "You got the email?" He asked. Heero nodded. "Trowa and Wufei got the emails to. Duo hasn't checked yet, but I told him. Dr. J sounds desperate. When should we leave?" Quatre asked. "Hn." "Tonight it is, then. Trowa told me to get you and Duo and meet them in their room. Let's go."

They traveled a few floors down to Trowa and Wufei's dorm. Heero was leaning on the wall, Duo was playing video games on Wufei's bed, Wufei was on his laptop, Trowa was sitting in a chair in the corner, and Quatre was on the sofa. They were waiting for 6:00 to roll around. Wufei spoke. "According to the map I found, the cell is underground, on floor -15. How are we supposed to get all the way down there without being killed?" "Dr. J is known for giving us impossible tasks, we'll just do it the way we always do. No problem, course, there is a chick we have to save to. I think we should split up." "Did I just hear right? Duo? Are you actually using your head? There's actually a brain under all that hair?" Wufei said, as strict as anything he reminded himself of Raye, or 'Rei.' Wufei didn't like refering to her as Rei. Raye was his defeater, Rei was his enemy. He didn't think of her as weak as most. In fact, he didn't think of Usagi as weak either, nor any of the other spies. Though Minako was never going to gain his respect, he saw her as a traitor.

Duo started to pout at Wufei's comment. "Wu-man!! Give me some credit, there's a damsal in distress there!" "Don't call me Wu-man!!" *Of course, only when it comes to weak women does Maxwell use his head.* Wufei thought. There was silence, all the boys seemed to be in their own little world until the clock struck 6, when Duo, who had been sleeping, did a loud snore and snapped everybody out of it. "Time to go!!!" Duo shouted, and was out the door in a milla-second.

The Gundams were going at top speed towards OZ HQ. Wufei printed out the HQ map and gave one to everybody as a guide for finding everything okay. They were drawing close when Heero pulled out the picture he had brought along with him. It was of Serena. He smirked at his own vocabulary. Of course it was Usagi. He held it to his chest for the moment, then put in in his bag which was lying on the floor next to the control seat of the Gundam. They had arrived.

They climbed out of the Gundams after they were careful to hide them from the HQ view. They snuck up to the base. There were six guards standing at the main enterence. Heero got an idea.

They five were dressed caustiously and hats down so as not to expose their face. They threw the six bodies off to the side and fixed the OZ uniforms on temselves perfectly. They went in.

They walked casually through the white marble halls of the base. They were suprised to see that there wasn't much security around there, nobody was suspious about them at all. They hadn't had any sign of the spies either, which was what they were hoping. Even though their minds were set on killing them the first chance they got, their hearts were still hoping that they would never see them again, so they wouldn't have to kill them.

They eventually got to the elevator, which was in the center of the building. The whole HQ was about 60 miles long on all sides and angles making it a perfect square. Heero knocked out one of the guards and put their eyes up to the meter that took the eyes of the guard as a password. /Welcome, Agent 56, Yan Fa/ The computer said as Wufei threw the body out before the doors closed. "Yan Fa? What kinda name is that?" Duo asked with a chuckle. "I think it's Chinese, right Wufei?" "Right." He said. "Geez, even those from earth are against their own planet. What's this universe coming to?" Duo said exasperated. "Total darkness if this war doesn't end soon." Trowa said quietly. Heero was at the door, with no look whatsoever in his eyes. The door opened on floor -15. They went to colomn 78, cell 13. There was Dr. J. He looked completely starved, and his hair was all the way down to his elbows. He had only been in there for 3 months, and yet he looked as if he aged by 20 years. He gave smirk as they let him out. "I knew you would be here soon. Even the impossible can be done when you working with Gundam Pilots." He said. "Come, we must get Aino Minako and then we can get out of here. Duo brightened up. "Yeah!!!" He yelled so loud, a guard that was passing by saw his hat fall off, and reconized the Gundam pilot. He gasped and took of, pressing the emergency button on his way to the elevator.

Suddenly, Dr. J's open cell was closed, as were the two doors on both sides of the hall. The windows were covered in metal undentable seals so the Gundam pilots couldn't get out by knocking out the bars. Heero looked ready to kill Duo, as did Wufei. The doors opened on the sides and armies of guards ran through, in to single file lines going across covering the doors. Someone stepped through them. It was Colonial Une. "Put your weapons on the ground, and no sudden movements, or they'll shoot." Someone came through the door and barrier of OZ guards on the other side of the hall. That was Usagi. She looked drained when she saw them. But she regained composure and stood firm. "You heard her, now or we will not hesitate to take you down all at once." She said, voice of steel. Heero winced when he heard her say that, but only for a split second.

They all put their guns on the floor, and Dr. J, who was not armed, just stood there, not making any movement at all. When they stood straight again, Une walked forth, the guards tensing up as she walked closer to the boys. Usagi took out her gun as protection. Heero did nothing, just held out his wrists for her to cuff him. Une smiled at him. "The Perfect Soldier has a brain afterall." She took her cuffs and undid the buckles to fastin them on him.

Wufei moved and knocked them out of her hands and knocked her to the floor. The guards were quick to react, but Usagi was quicker and held them back after she got Wufei in the leg. Wufei fell, holding his wound on his leg which was spewing out blood. Quatre made a move to help him, but Usagi shot another bullet as a warning, and Quatre froze. "Leave him, or we will kill you where you stand." She said sternly. Heero never knew Usagi was this cold. She reminded him of himself. Heero as well as everyone else was motionless except for Wufei, who was stuggling to get the blood to stop from flowing. Une stood up, and resumed putting the cuffs on Heero as well as everyone else. "Get them and take them to the Special Cells, the ones that are reserved just for this purpose." Usagi said. All five of them could see it in her eyes that it pained her to do this to them, but it was who she was, and she had control over her emotions, like very few people did.

The guards stepped forward and surrounded the defenceless pilots and forced them to their cells on the furthest most floor in OZ, definatly the coldest as well. Heero took one more look at Usagi, who was still stairing after them. She shrugged her shoulders, her eyes emotionless, and started to gather their weapons in a burlap bag and take them to be confinscated in OZ's treasurey. Heero knew he would never look at her the same again.
