Hey people, thanks for the feed back. I'm loving all the reviews, it makes me feel all special and stuff. Enjoy!

Duo whistled as he walked down the hall. He had only come across a few soldiers and they had simply thought he was walking around and hadn't suspected anything. The other guys had all agreed to separate so they could find the girls faster. So far he had no luck, but then again he was only about 5 minutes into his search.
He turned down a corner and heard a grunt. He stopped walking and ducked back behind the corner. "Man, he has got to go on a diet if he thinks he's ever going to get a girlfriend." a girl's voice said. He looked around the corner to see Mina, in a showgirl dress, dragging an Oz soldier out of a door. He laughed as she stood up and wiped the sweat from her brow.
She looked like she came straight from Moulin Rouge. A white fluffy dress with yellow, blue, red, green, orange, gold, pink, purple and finally black layers. Making the dress frill out before stopping about mid thigh. The top was pulled really tight showing off her curves, very nicely in his opinion. She was also wearing black fishnet stockings and finally white boots that were laced up with red shoe stings. Her hair was pulled out of its normal style and cascaded down her back and stopped where the dress ended.
"Man, I'm just going to leave you here." she said to the unconscious guy like he could hear her. She turned around and headed down the hall dusting her dress off. "Mina." Duo said coming from behind the corner and she stopped and looked back. "Oh crap." she said when she saw him, then she turned and quickly ran in the opposite direction.
"Babe wait!" he yelled. 'Why's she running from me?' he thought then looked down at himself. 'She thinks I'm a soldier.' he thought. He shook his head and started running after her.
Mina looked back to see the soldier gaining on her. "Stupid boots." she muttered. They were no where near as comfortable as her scout heels were. "Mina, wait up!" the guy said. 'How does he know my name?' she thought glancing back at him. "Mina it's Duo." he yelled and she stopped. "What?" she asked turning around only Duo didn't slow fast enough and ended up slamming into her.
"Ow." Mina said opening her eyes only to see shining cobalt blues ones staring back at her. "Hey." he said. "Hey." she said back. "Nice costume." Duo said and she blushed. "Thanks, you could please get off me now, I can't breathe." she said. "Oh yea, sorry." he said pushing himself off her and he helped her stand. "So, are you my knight in shining armor?" she asked, dusting herself off again. "You could say that." Duo said and Mina smiled. "Great, I can't wait to get out of here." she said then her smile faltered.
"What about everyone else?" she asked. "Wufei's already got Raye and the other guys went after the rest of the girls." Duo said and she smiled again. "Cool, now let's get out of here before someone comes to check on that old sicko." Mina said and Duo nodded and put an arm over her shoulder and guided her towards the exit.
Duo stopped walking when her heard footsteps. "Shit." Duo said looking at Mina who had an alert look on her face. She looked around but there was no where to hid. "What do we do?" she asked looking back at him. "I have an idea, but you have to work with me and trust me." Duo said and she nodded. "Alright." he said as his arm fell around her waist and he turned and backed her into the wall. "Ow, my butt." she whined and he smiled.
"Sorry." he said noticing the footsteps were getting closer. One of his hands pulled up Mina's leg at her knee and the other was firmly planted around her waist. A blush crept across her face as Duo inched closer to her then his lips started a full on attack on hers, which she fully responded to. His tongue brushed across her lips asking for access, which she allowed without a second of hesitation.
Hey heart was doing flips when he pulled away and began to kiss her jawbone. "Work with me." he said. The footsteps had stopped and Duo could practically feel the guy breathing down his neck. "Oui monsieur, j'adore toi aussi!" Mina said in a fake French accent and Duo pulled away from her. "I love it when you talk dirty." he said as he began to kiss her on the lips again.
The guy behind Duo cleared his voice and Duo jumped away from Mina, acting startled. "Sir." he said saluting the guy. "At ease soldier." he said and Duo nodded lowing his hand and praying his plan worked. "You haven't seen anyone around here acting suspicious have you?" the man asked and Duo shook his head. "No one up here sir but the lady and me. Why may I ask sir?" he said as Mina blushed.
The guy looked at her then back at Duo. "There's a rumor that gundam pilots have been seen on the base." he said. "Oh no!" Mina said, still in French accent, trying to sound afraid. "No need to worry. We'll nuke the little bastards. You may proceed now." he said as he turned and walked away. "Gladly." Duo said turning back to Mina with a grin on his face. She walked away from the wall gave him a kiss on the cheek then grabbed his hand. "Come on, we've got to hurry up before anyone else decides to check down here." she said.
"Well, aren't we focused today." Duo said slightly disappointed. "One question my kind sir. Was that really just apart of your plan or just an excuse to make out with me?" she asked looking back at him. "Uh, both." he said and she smiled back at him. "Let us hope we run into more commanding officers on the way then, shall we?" she said and Duo laughed. "We can only hope." he said. "Oh yea, what does Oui monsieur j'adore toi aussi mean?" he asked. "It's French for yes sir, I love you too." she said and he smiled. "Is that so..."

Trowa walked down the hall that he started on. It had gotten a little more crowded then when he was last there so he stayed in the shadows and stayed quiet. He heard a scream and looked around. The other people didn't seem to notice and were going on about their business. He continued walking, trying not to attract any attention to himself when he heard another scream, followed by the sound of glass breaking.
He looked around until he noticed that a door was shaking like someone on the other side was trying to get out. His heart skipped a beat and he ran over to it and pulled it open. Three or four soldiers ran out of the room, all looking battered, bruised and panic-stricken. One of them didn't even bother turning and ran straight into the wall opposite of the door, knocking himself out on the floor.
Trowa looked back in the door to see another soldier get thrown across the room and crash into a table, breaking it in half. "Help." he muttered before passing out. Trowa walked in and looked around. "Not more. I thought you soldiers were smart enough not to mess with me." Lita yelled from across the now cluttered room.
She was in forest themed room, wearing a tan tube top that was made of soft leather and a matching short loincloth looking skirt, complete with tan boots that had a fur around the top and a deadly heel. Her hair was down from it's normal ponytail and fell down her back in soft curls, if anything, making her look even more cuter, especially when she was mad.
She walked towards him, making sure to step over broken pieces of wood, glass, and in some cases, bruised up bodies. "You know all you soldiers are all just a like. You think you can just come in here and get some kind of cheap little thrill and you don't care who you hurt in the process. Well, you've bitten off a little more then you can chew today buddy." she said.
'She has spirit.' he admitted to himself as he raised an eyebrow at her. "Find this amusing?" she asked, getting even madder. She raised her fist and brought it back but Trowa grabbed her wrist before she could move to punch him. "Let me go." she said dangerously. "Um excuse me." a voice said and Trowa turned to see a short guy standing at the door. "I have orders to take her to Treize. She's caused too many injuries." he said.
"I've got her." Trowa said. "But, I have orders-" he started but Trowa wrapped his arm around Lita's waist. Lita felt chills run up her spine at his touch but ignored it. This was just some pervert who thought she'd be an easy catch. "I said. I've got her." Trowa said firmly and the guy nodded. "Yes, of coarse sir. Sorry to interrupt you." he said as he turned and walked out of the door, closing it behind him.
"I don't know who you think you are, but you've got no one." she said trying to break the hold he had on her, but she couldn't. "Who are you?" she demanded, her voice rising an octave. "It's me Trowa." he said. "The guy from the lab?" she asked. He flinched at the comment but nodded. "Oh, thank goodness. I knew you looked familiar." she said giving him a hug. "Come on, we've got to hurry if we want to get out of here without being caught." he said pulling away from her.
"Wait!" she said and he looked at her. "Look, sorry about the whole yelling at you thing. Those soldiers just really make me mad, the way they treat girls is horrible. I just hope Ami's is ok....." she said dazing off for a sec then she looked back at him. "I really do appreciate you coming and you know saving me. I'm used to standing up for myself. It was kind of nice to be taken care of." she said smiling.
"Some times, even a protector needs to be protected." he said softly and she smiled up at him. "Yes, and some times, even a Silencer needs to be silenced." she said standing on her tiptoes and she kissed him on the cheek, making him blush slightly and a slight smirk appeared on his face. "Alright, now let's go. We have some more Oz ass to kick." Lita said cracking her knuckles and Trowa nodded and they headed out of the room.

"Where could they be." Quatre said to himself as he walked up another flight of stairs. He was beginning to get tired of running into dead ends and was for once getting really anxious and worried. "It's this way." he heard someone say and he stopped. Footsteps were headed right where he was. 'Act natural.' he told himself as he turned around to see 6 soldiers dressed in OZ uniforms and one man dressed in a doctors lab coat walking behind him.
"You. Soldier." the one he had heard talking said as they approached him. Judging by the tone in his voice he was a commander of some kind. Quatre quickly saluted the man who nodded. "Come with us." he said and Quatre followed the order and began to follow the small group down the hall.
They stopped outside of a door that was made of metal and had a small window that was completely covered in frost. One of the soldiers next to Quatre walked over to the door and pressed a code into the keypad next to it and a green light flashed. He opened the door and held it open for everyone to walk in.
The room was a blinding white and had a fan sprinkling fake snow around the room before resting on the fluffy white carpet that was supposed to be snow. It felt like a tundra in the room and Quatre tightened his grip on the jacket he was wearing and let out a long breath. White fog came out of his mouth and danced before him until it completely disappeared.
Across the room was a king-sized bed that was about the same blinding white color as the rest of the room. Sitting on the ground next to a bed was a person who was circled up in a ball and appeared to be crying. Quatre's heart immediately went out to the person but he stayed where he was and waited for a clue as to what the OZ soldiers were planning.
"There she is." the general sounding guy said pointing at the person on the ground and the doctor nodded. "Why's it so cold in here?" he asked and the general shrugged. "We don't know, that's why we called you. As soon as we put her in here the temperature has dropped to 20 below." he said and most of the soldiers looked around worriedly but Quatre kept his eyes trained on the person who had yet to look up. "Very well." the doctor said as he cautiously walked forward. The person looked up at him suddenly and the temperature dropped with each step the doctor took. "Stay back." the person said in a icy voice the matched the room.
"I'm not going to hurt you." the doctor said and the person, now positively identified as a girl, stood up. Along with a blush Quatre wondered if the cold was even effecting her at all, but judging by the outfit she was in and the way she acted she could care less about the atmosphere.
All she was wearing was a white tube top dress that had white fur lining around the top and bottom that stopped way too short. White knee-high boots stretched up her legs and a long white, flowy trench coat stopped behind her at her ankles. Fur lined it and around the hood that was pulled up on her head, making her icy blue eyes stand out more from the white surroundings. Suddenly her eyes flashed yellow and he immediately knew the girl was Ami and the effects of the Zero system were just beginning to kick in.
"That doesn't guarantee I won't hurt you." she said in a monotone voice. "Why is she dressed like this?" the doctor asked looking back at the general. "It was the cadets' idea of fun." the general said looking at Ami as if he was sizing her up. If Quatre weren't concentrating on trying to find any scratch on Ami he would have punch the guy.
"Well, take her to put on some proper garments and then bring her back. Then we can begin studying her to see what caused this phenomenon." the doctor said and the general nodded and looked around at the soldiers. "I'm not going anywhere with any of you." she said and the general looked at her skeptically. "We're just trying to find out what is causing this." the doctor said and she looked at him, all emotion void for her eyes. "You act as if I'm supposed to care." she said, sounding slightly amused.
"I'll do it....sir." Quatre said stepping forward, he kind of felt sorry for the soldier who would have had to deal with her, not knowing how to handle someone who's used the Zero System. The doctor nodded. "Very well, bring her back when she's changed." he said and Quatre nodded. He quickly walked over to Ami and grabbed her wrist. "Come on." he said in a commanding voice as he began to pull her out of the room. "Let. Me. Go." she said trying to break his grip on her arm.
He finally managed to get Ami outside with her still struggling and yelling at him but as soon as the door shut Quatre turned around and surprised Ami with a small, sweet kiss on the lips. She jumped away from him with hatred in her eyes "Who do you think you are?" she yelled whipping her lips. "Ami you've got to wake up. This isn't the real you." he said and she looked at him like she was crazy. A gunshot rang through the air followed by a yelp. The two looked down the hall to see Duo and Mina run around the corner. "They're at it again." Mina said smiling. "Come on, we've got company." Duo said. "Finally a battle worth fighting." Ami said spinning around and grabbing Duo's gun from his hand. "What's up with Ami?" Mina asked staring at her friend who was currently checking the gun for bullets.
"It's the Zero System. She won't listen to us." Quatre said. "Great, just what we need a crazed genius." Mina sighed. "Look we don't have time for this." Duo said as he moved over. A bullet hit the wall directly behind the place where Duo's head would have been. "I know. Come on Ami." Quatre said grabbing Ami's hand. "Let go of me." she said yelled as they all ran down the hall, Quatre dragging Ami behind him making death threats.
Hum, what could happen next? Why's this taking so long? These questions and more to be answered, maybe in the next chapter......JA NE!
