**************
The rest of the pilots followed Heero as they walked towards their gundams, all equally anxious and pissed off. Who in their right mind would steal a gundam and bring it here?
**************
"Where are they going?" Zechs said, looking at the monitor that showed the girls tracking devices. "I don't know." Darien all but hissed. 'What do they think they're doing.' he thought, a little vein in his forehead throbbing. "Damnit, I knew we couldn't trust them." Lady Une said pounding her hand into the table she was standing in front of.
"I'm sure they're just taking a restroom break or something, you know girls." Darien said nervously. "You better hope so Darien." Treize said. "I'm positive." he said darkly. "Sir, they've vanished." the guy manning the controls said. "What?" Zechs said looking back at the screen, only to see the five lights that signaled the girls were gone. "But they were just there." Lady Une said. "Start tracking them, they couldn't have gotten far." Treize said.

Ami felt like screaming, whoever piloted this thing had a lot of mental strength. The yellow light from where ever it was coming, seemed to be getting brighter around her. (AN: Is that really in there? I'm sure you're confused, but just go with it.) She opened her eyes and saw a flash, causing her pupils to dilate. She felt a wave go through her and she remembered everything. What she and the girls had done to the guys, all the people they had murdered and hurt, the shots that made them forget, everything.
A tear feel down her cheek as she felt a wave of guilt wash over her. She had done all of this and felt nothing because she couldn't remember it. She couldn't remember the pain and suffering others had to go through because she had accomplished a mission. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." she repeated over and over again while shaking her head in disbelief, tears continued to fall down her face.
"I'm so sorry." Quatre heard and it sparked his curiosity. He steadied the gun that was in his hand and pulled the emergency hatch, opening the doors that lead into his gundam. When they were all open he held his breath. Sitting still buckled in the piloting seat was Ami, tears streaming down her face, rocking back and forth repeating the words over and over again. He felt a tug at his heart. "Ami." he said, lowing the gun.
She didn't seem to hear him, or even be there at all. He walked in cautiously. 'This could be a trap.' he thought, but from the torn apart aura around Ami he knew otherwise. He put his gun away and squatted down to Ami's level. "Ami." he said again and her head slowly lifted up. He saw her eyes and all doubt that had been present in him was washed away. "Quatre I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." she continued repeating.
He carefully unbuckled her but her mutterings never ceased. Her head went back to hanging low and she was shaking her head again. "Ami, what are you sorry for?" he asked her face lifted slightly and meet his gaze, begging for sympathy. "I promise. I-I didn't know, I killed all those people and I couldn't remember it. I went on like normal." she said shaking her head. "I'm so sorry." she said looking down again.
Quatre cupped her cheeks and lifted her face again. She flinched a little from the touch and another tear fell from her eyes. "Everything's going to be ok now." he whispered, though he had no idea what she was talking about, but she seemed to quiet down a little. "Quatre, I'm so sorry." she said wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug which he returned. "I know Ami, I know." he said rubbing her back.
*************
"I had almost forgotten the way it felt, when he held out his hand for mine, my heart all a flutter." Mina said, singing along with her CD, while dancing on the platform on the gundam she had piloted. (AN: I don't own that song but I do like it. It's from Aladdin Return of Jafar.) She didn't know where or why she was where she was, all she knew was that she was happy she had gotten out of there before causing too much trouble.
She heard a shout and looked down to saw a guy with brown hair standing on the floor. "Hey!" she said waving down to him. 'Wow, what a cutie. I do believe it's time to introduce myself.' she thought smiling. She backed up and bit then ran and jumped. She landed on the ground like she would've when she was transformed and faced the young man.
"Hey, I'm Mina Aino and who are you?" she asked holding out her hand to him then realized that he looked quiet, well pissed would be an understatement, and he was pointing a shiny black pistol at her. She reached for her gun only to come up short. 'Erg, Darien.' she thought as she studied him. Yep, he looked like he would have no problem pulling the trigger. "Uh, nice to meet you too." she said and he looked at her oddly.
"What?" he asked, raising one eyebrow. She felt like she was going to melt at hearing his voice, but figured he'd still try to shoot her even if she turned into a puddle on the ground.
***********
Lita noticed that Mina seemed to be having a little trouble on the ground with a guy with brown hair. She jumped down from the cockpit and began to hurriedly walk towards her friend.
She was within shouting distance when she heard a soft click, but it seemed to echo loudly through her head. She instantly stopped walking and didn't have to turn to realize that she was now in the same predicament as her friend. She glanced over her shoulder, whoever it was who was holding her at gunpoint was a little taller then she was with brown hair, but that was about all she could see.
"I come in peace. I'm just trying to save my friend from certain death." she said. "Turn." the guys voice said, void of any emotion. She nodded and turned around only to see a guy with hair that covered one emerald eye. She thought about how his eye color was the exact color as her favorite gem, but focused back to looking at the stranger.
"Why are you here?" he asked and she shrugged. "Actually I couldn't tell you. Where is this place anyway? And who are you guys who have an obsession with pointing guns. I'm assuming that the braided one is your friend?" she said and his handsome face registered confusion for a second then went back to a hardened look. "What?" he asked. "I know, stupid me. I ask too many questions and the whole 'if I tell you I'd have to kill you' thing, but I figure I'm going to anyway, so just call it a last request." Lita said and he blinked.
**********
Rei almost smiled as she listened to Lita babble on and on. She was obviously trying to confuse the guy to death, if there was such a thing she was getting close to it. Mina appeared to be trying to flirt her way away from the young man in front of her and he just continued to stand there.
Serena and Ami had yet to come out of their gundams and Rei was beginning to get worried about them. She decided to just go over and check on Serena first. She could've gotten knocked out in the landing or something. This thought running through her head she began to run towards the other tall mecha.
"Don't move." a guy said jumping in front of her. She bumped into him and fell on her butt. "Ow." she grumbled. The guy stood over her with a satisfied look on his face. She growled. How could he just smirk when her friends could be hurt. She got up and tried to move past him but he moved in her way. She tried again but he moved again.
"I didn't think I could ever be so annoyed by a person I don't even know." she said throwing her arms up in the air in an exasperated sigh. "You know onna, you should consider acting because you're really good at being fake." he said.
"And you could tell this from the two seconds since we've met. You really should at least wait until you know a persons name before you pass judgment on them." Rei said and Wufie snorted then took out his katana and positioned it at her neck. "I think I know who you are pretty well." he said and she nervously gulped.
************
Serena sat in the cockpit of the gundam she had been piloting staring at her hands. The hands who had killed so many innocent people, then went on as if nothing in the world was wrong because of a stupid memory shot. She felt two emotions in her now. Relief that she knew what was going on and she could stop it. And anger at Darien for putting her and her friends through this.
'I wonder if anyone else remembers.' she thought focusing on her friends. She didn't know what had triggered the sudden memory burst, but she wished at least one of her friends knew. It was going to be hard enough telling them all that for the past 8 years of their lives, they had basically went around murdering people then went back to their normal lives without a shred of regret.
The doors to the cockpit opened and Serena looked up to see a silhouette of a young man standing there holding a gun pointed squarely at her. A smirk played on her lips as the young man walked in, a glare fixated on her as if judging whether she was worthy to die just then. "Get out." he said firmly. She blinked, that was all he said, surely the perfect soldier could think of something a little more creative.
"I would if I could." she said, making no attempt at getting up. "Tell me one reason why I shouldn't just kill you right now." he said and she smirked. "Because it'd hurt like hell." she said and an odd look played upon his features. "Now, Perfect Soldier, I have a question for you. They say that if you see a gundam, you won't live to tell the tale. But what of those who have piloted one?" she asked, smirking, before slipping into unconsciousness.
***********
"Uh Quatre, is she ok?" Duo asked, referring to a still muttering Ami. She had quieted down a little, but as soon as she got back on the ground she went back to apologizing. "I don't know." Quatre said truthfully. "Oh my god Ami, what happened to you?" Mina asked, pushing passed Duo's gun and she ran over to her friend. Quatre had an arm wrapped around her and it seemed to be the only thing keeping Ami standing.
Mina grabbed her friends hand and gasped. "Oh my goodness Ami, you feel like an ice cube." she said taking her other hand. Mina never thought she'd see the day that her calm and collected friend, cracked. Ami still didn't seem to notice any of them and was shaking her head. Trowa lead Lita over to the group silently. She looked around at them then her eyes landed on her blue haired friend. "What happened to her?" she demanded walking over to her.
"I don't know, I went up there and found her like this." Quatre said back. "It looks like the weak onna went crazy." Wufie said walking over to the group with Raye in front of him. She noticed her friends and pushed the blade pointed at her, away from her neck, resulting in a cut across her four fingers but she didn't notice.
"She's so cold." Raye said touching the girls cheek and she noticed how pale she was too. "Are you sure she's not dead?" Duo asked and Mina's eyes widened and they all noticed how quiet it had gotten. "Ames?" Lita asked. "Where's Serena?" Raye asked. "She's right here." a monotone voice said and they all looked over to see Heero carrying a passed out Serena. "Damnit, what happened to her?!" Lita said rushing over to him. "Hn." he said passing her to Lita.
"Are these the girls?" Dr. J asked, everyone had forgot the fact that the doctors were even there. "Yes." Heero said. "We're really sorry. You have to believe me." Ami said looking around at the guys before looking back at her friends. "Hey Ames, how do you know the dangerous cuties?" Mina asked, mad that her shy friend had been holding back on her.
"Mina, I know you can't remember anything, but last week we spent the entire week with them." Ami said. "What do you mean they can't remember?" Duo asked. "Duo, I don't exactly what it was, but we all got shots that messed with our memories. I just got my memory back, I think it was because of the Zero system, but I'm not sure." she said. Dr. J got an interested look his face. "It sounds familiar." he said and they looked over at him. "What?" Heero asked.
"About 10 years ago, we were working on a formula. Basically it was meant to be a 'Perfect Soldier' shot, but it didn't completely work right and it messed with your memory. But it, and the formula, was stolen before all the tests could begin." he said. They were interrupted by a light beeping noise. "What's that?" Quatre asked looking around. "They're trying to track us." Lita said, looking at the tag on her shirt that was now starting to blink.
"Did someone get the license plate of that truck?" Serena mumbled as she began to stir. "Hey, she's waking up." Lita said and Serena's eyes fluttered up and she looked around. "Hey Leat." she said as she stood up. "Ow. Headache." Serena said shaking her head.
"We don't have much time. We have to leave now." Ami said noticing the beeping was getting faster. "Why?" Quatre asked. "Because they're tracking us. If they find us, they find you, and the gundams. Someone needs to be there to claim victory over Oz." Ami said. "Ok, I'm confused. Didn't we get sent to that place by them and now we're against them." Mina said.
"In the long run. Oz is bad, the guys are good. We worked for the bad, but now we're good." Serena said and Ami smiled at her. "You got your memory back too?" she asked and Serena nodded. "How do we know this isn't a trap?" Heero said, stealing words right from the other guys mouths.
"I guess you don't. But if it makes you feel any better, we probably won't live long enough to rat you guys out. Not that we would. Not after what they've done...." Serena said looking very distant then her eyes focused again. "But we've got to go now." Serena said firmly.

Dun dun duuuunnnnnn! Will the guys let them go so easily? What is Beryl there for? Why am I questioning you like you know the answers? I don't know but it's fun. Please review and look for the next chapter to be out soon.
