I'm not sure if this chapter is as good as the others, but that's ok. It has a little of Star Wars and Monty Python humor, just to let ya know. And no, I do not own Gundam Wing or anything, or monty python and the Holy Grail.

Chapter 10: Try and Try Some more

By: Tiger Shinigami

A few minutes later and Quatre was still getting this mysterious list of his. Duo, Heero, and Wufei were sitting in the living room. Heero and Duo were waiting for Quatre to get back, and Wufei was just sharpening his kantana. Suddenly a mischievous grin crawled onto Duo's face.

"Hey Wufei?"

"What is it Maxwell?" He said looking up and sighing impatiently.

"Which would you rather be, a weak dragon or a strong, pink, unicorn?" Wufei opened his mouth, but didn't speak at first.

"No comment." Was all that he said before returning to his katana. Duo just grinned and sat back on the couch. Just then Quatre entered the room with a piece of paper in his hand. He walked over to Heero and Duo.

"Here's the list I told you guys about. It has a whole bunch of different people living around here who just might know how to get the finger trap off." Heero took the list from Quatre and read it over.

"You're joking." He said while looking up.

"Not at all. All of these people have nothing to do with OZ, and they are the experts in each of their fields." Heero sighed.

"The only reason why I'm using this is because nothing else we try will work, and there is nothing left for us to do." Heero got up and headed out the door, shutting it closed behind him. However, he forgot that Duo was still attached to him, so he ended up slamming the door into Duo's face.

"Ouch!! Wh-What was that for?!?!?!" Heero just ignored him and dragged him outside and into the hummer.

The list that Quatre had made was filled with odd people, but Heero and Duo were going to see them anyway. They drove on for about 10 minutes until they made it to their first destination, a construction site. There were about three men working in front of them using jackhammers on various bits of iron and steel. They walked up to one of them and didn't say a word. They brought up the finger trap silently. The worker nodded. Before they knew it the construction worker was using his jackhammer on the trap. When he realized that it did no good, he shook his head.

Heero and Duo moved down the list. The next stop was in the woods. They found themselves sitting in front of a bond fire while a group of Indians were dancing around chanting things. The chief said some strange words in a different language while sprinkling a fine powder on the trap and closing his eyes. Duo sat with his head in his hand and Heero just sat there impatiently. When the chief found out his magic wouldn't work on the trap, he shook his head.

There was a figure dressed in boxer shorts and a white T-shirt that stood before Heero and Duo. The person was black and had a shiny bald head. This was Mace Windu.(From Star Wars) The front of his T-shirt read "Jedi Rule."

"So, you want me to get the finger trap off for you?" He said in a tired voice.

"Well.... Yeah. If you would be so kind sir...." Duo was kinda creeped out by the man.

"You guys are lucky I'm doing this, its Saturday and its supposed to be my day off." He turned around and pulled out a small metal object. He pressed a button on it and a purple blade extended. Mace held the lightsaber blade over the trap, pulled back, and swung down hard. The lightsaber was supposed to cut right through the trap, but it bounced backwards.

"What the....." Mace stared at the trap in amazement. "I-I think I need to get some sleep...." He said while staring uneasily at the trap.

Heero and Duo continued to go down the list. The psychic who tried to break the trap with his mind simply squinted at the trap, put his fingers on his temples, and gave up after two seconds. He shook his head in defeat. Later they found themselves standing in the presence of a handful of monks holding planks of wood. They walked around in a circle around Heero and Duo while chanting as a group in a monotonous voice:

"Pies lesu Domine, Dona eis requiem." *Whack* They whacked their heads with the planks of wood in unison. They repeated this a second time until they gave up and shook their heads.

"Aw man, this is just going swell, wouldn't you say so Heero?" Duo said in a sarcastic tone while getting in the Hummer.

"Duo."

"Yeah?"

"Shut up."

"Whatever."

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, more trouble was brewing....

*Ding-Dong* Quatre sighed and got up to answer the door. He opened the door and found himself face to face with three men with strange looking eyes.

"Hello, can I help you?"

"Yes." The answer was in monotone, with no hint of emotion whatsoever. "We want to see our master." The man hadn't blinked at all, and was staring into empty space. Quatre thought that it reminded him of something....

"Um, I don't know what you mean." He said while his mind was wondering what on earth was going on.

"They're here to see me Quatre, let them in." Trowa was standing behind him.

"Um, sure..." Quatre was confused. He went back to the living room and sat down. He gave a long sigh and looked over at Wufei. He was still sharpening his kantana.

"Haven't you done enough with that for today?" He asked. Wufei stopped sharpening and looked up.

"You can never get this thing too sharp." He said before going back to sharpening some more. Quatre got up to see what Trowa was doing. He had to know what was going on. He crept around and peered around the corner into the room that Trowa was in with the three mysterious people. Quatre soon heard Trowa's voice.

"Wait my minions, it is not yet time for us to strike."

"Yessssssss masssster......." The voices from the other three were very strange and creepy. Quatre knew by now that something strange was going on with Trowa. He crept back into the living room and sat down across from Wufei.

"Wufei, I think something is going on with Trowa." Wufei looked up.

"What do you mean?" He asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Well, Trowa is in the other room with three strange guys who are calling him 'master'. And he said something about 'Waiting for the time to strike' what do you think he's up to?"

"Yeah, that's a good one Quatre. You really have been hanging around Duo too much."

To be... CONTINUED!! Oh, I just love doing that... Sorry it took me so long to post this. Did you know that my English teacher got a haircut and she looks a lot like Katherine? Its kida creepy.....
