Chapter 13: Countdown



Raziel smirked at Wufei's response. 'Of course he would accept; the boy is an arrogant fool. But I wonder, how could those other humans have such power? I must investigate after I defeat 05.' "An excellent choice. I will give you 5 minutes to prepare your Gundam,"

"Wufei, you idiot!" Miryo yelled at Wufei, who was preparing his Gundam for the battle, maybe even his last battle. "You know you can't beat him!"

"Shut up, onna!" Wufei yelled back.

The mobile suits had stopped attacking, but they stood alert around their base. Miryo turned to the saiyajins and Krillen. "Rika and the others are still in there, they won't be able to get out!"

"Your point?" Vegeta smirked. "Let them die."

Miryo looked at Vegeta angrily. "I didn't ask for your opinion. I'm going in."

Before Miryo could take a step, Trunks grabbed her arm. "I'm coming with you."

Vegeta raised an eyebrow.

"You can't take on all the soldiers on your own," Trunks added quickly, feeling his father's gaze on him.

"Alright," Miryo agreed and vanished (if you don't remember, Miryo has invisibility powers ^^;;;). "Meet you inside!"

Trunks flew at top speed to the entrance, and fortunately, the mobile suits and Raziel didn't notice two missing people.

*

Helping Duo along the ventilation shafts, Kenja looked for an opening. So far, every place where they could've got out had soldiers guarding the area. Duo couldn't fight and Pota and Kenja weren't sure they could take out all the soldiers at once.

"Damn it," Kenja cursed under is breath. Crawling towards the right, Kenja carefully peeked down an opening. There was only one guard.

[Yo Pota, I think we can take this route, there's only one guard...we can knock him out,] Kenja suggested.

[Whatever you say,] Pota agreed.

"Duo, we're taking this route," Kenja whispered as quietly as he could.

Duo nodded and ignored the pains in his body.

Kenja quietly bent the bars over the ventilation shaft and lunged at the guard. He covered the guard's mouth knocked him unconscious. Signaling to Duo and Pota that the coast was clear, Kenja took the guard's guns.

"That was too easy," Duo groaned, rubbing his arms and stretching.

"Who cares, lets just get out of here," Kenja shrugged, tossing the guns at Duo.

*

Rika blasted the soldiers away and ran as fast as she could after Quatre, losing all feeling in her left arm. The bandana Kenja had given her was soaked with blood and Rika was feeling even dizzier.

"Quick, in here!" Quatre exclaimed as he ran into an empty room. As soon as Rika got in, Quatre closed the door and locked it. "You okay?"

Rika removed the bandana, not feeling anything. Quatre inspected the wound. "The bullet's still inside..."

"I'll live..." Rika quietly said.

"You will," Quatre promised, rewrapping the bandana around the wound. "Rest, for now."

"But we gotta get out..." Her voice sounded small and weak. Suddenly, she fainted from loss of blood.

"Rika!" Quatre caught her and gently placed her on the ground. Inspecting the wound again, Quatre wiped away the blood with his sleeve. 'She fights so hard...'

Something moved.

"Who's there?!" Quatre demanded, turning face to face with the other person in the room.

*

"Times up Wufei!" Raziel announced, readying his Gundam.

"I am ready," Wufei replied bluntly.

Raziel smirked. "Good luck... after all, you'll need all the luck in the world to beat me."

"I do not accept luck from the enemy!" Wufei lunged at the Epyon replica, using all the power he could muster.

Raziel dodged the charging Wufei. 'This will be the downfall of the legendary Gundam Pilots..."

*

Trunks waited for Miryo behind the entrance, since he didn't see or sense her ki near. Someone poked him from behind. "Huh?" It was Miryo.

"C'mon, lets go," Miryo pointed to the vent. "Better to be not seen."

Trunks nodded as Miryo flew up through the vent. She paused as she searched for Rika, Pota, or Kenja's ki's. Feeling that Rika's was closest, she crawled as quickly as she could towards her ki, Trunks following close behind.

*

Kenja kept close to the walls as he led the way through the base. 'So far so good,' He thought to himself. No guards had disturbed them at all.

"Wait," Duo whispered, pulling the back of Kenja's shirt. "We had to blow this place up."

Kenja paused. "Alright. Rika has probably escaped by now. Where to?"

Duo pulled out a miniature time bomb. "Anywhere as long as we can get out on time, lets go already,"

Pota gave Duo an odd look.



Duo grinned sheepishly. "It's amazing what teamwork and money can do,"



Kenja nodded looked in all directions. "Lets go that way,"

Pota looked back to make sure no one was coming. Suddenly, he heard an explosion. "What's that?!"

*

Wufei's Gundam, Nataku was taking beatings from the Epyon replica. Already Nataku had lost an arm.

"You put up a good fight 05," Raziel commented, slashing out with a laser beam sword. Wufei dodged it and shot out his dragonhead-arm at Raziel's Gundam, only to have his attack deflected.

Gohan looked grimly at the scene. 'Hurry up Miryo, Trunks! Get Rika and the others out of there!'

*

Quatre looked up as he heard an explosion. 'They must be fighting...'

He looked at Rika who was sleeping. Then he looked over at Trowa. He had been captured while looking for Duo, and he had been put in the room too. Quatre had already ripped off half his sleeve to clean up the blood on Rika's wound. Quatre looked around the room, hoping someone would come and help her. 'Pota, Kenja, Miryo, Heero, Duo...wherever you are, please hurry!'

*

"Dead end..." Miryo had stumbled across another dead end while searching for the others.

"It's alright, we'll find them," Trunks said reassuringly.

"Huh? Wait, Rika's with the others!"

* Quatre took Rika in his arms as Kenja, Pota, and Duo set the time bomb. When Kenja had entered the room, he didn't expect to see Rika with a bloodied arm.

*Flashback*

"We'll set the bomb here," Kenja opened a door. "R-Rika!"

"Kenja!" Quatre exclaimed.

"What happened?" Kenja asked. They quickly exchanged their stories.

"We have to blast this place," Duo said, showing Quatre the time bomb.

"Alright, we'll get going as soon as you set it," Quatre agreed.

*End Flashback*

Jumping on one foot impatiently, Pota looked around the room and realized something. "What about Heero??"

*

Heero grunted as he hit his head on one of the walls of the vent. He couldn't find Trowa at all as he navigated through the maze. He suddenly heard voices and leaned in closer. Heero heard one familiar voice say, "What about Heero??"

*

Miryo raced through the vent trying to find them but she kept bumping into dead ends. She stopped at one area where she heard voices.

"Look, Raziel is beating 05!"

"As he did to 02...we already have 03 in custody too, now all we need is 01 and 04."

'Wufei is losing! That means he might die!' Miryo thought to herself and cast a worried glance at Trunks.

*

Running through the halls as fast as they could without getting caught, Pota glanced worriedly at Rika who was in Quatre's arms. 'She has to make it...at least stay alive till we get outside to Miryo!'

The time bomb had been set to 10 minutes and they had only 7 minutes left as they tried to find an exit.

Suddenly a guard stepped out on them. "You! Guards! The prisoners are escaping!"

Kenja kicked the man hard in the shin as he ran past. "The entrance isn't too far!"

*

Nataku was defeated. Raziel laughed. "Now all your friends will die...soldiers, eliminate him. I'm gonna announce this to everyone, and no one will be able to stop me from assassinating Relena for the legendary Gundam pilots are dead!"

Raziel flew off into the distance as the mobile suits prepared to kill off Wufei. Gohan and Krillen charged up, but Vegeta did nothing.

*

Pota was dragging along Kenja, since he got shot in the leg. The entrance was not far, and in seconds they burst out from the doors. The mobile suits turned to look at them as they ran as fast as they could towards Krillen, Gohan, Vegeta, and Wufei. 1 minute was left until the bomb was to explode. The mobile suits fired at the running group and the rest of them. Krillen and Gohan covered for them and Wufei.

"Where's Miryo and Trunks?!" Pota demanded as they finally reached Gohan, mobile suits exploding.

"They went to get you!" Krillen exclaimed, firing a desctructo disk through several mobile suits.

"WHAT?!" Kenja screamed, ignoring the pain in his leg. "The bomb has only seconds to explode!"

"What bomb?" Gohan asked.

*

"They're already out of the building!" Miryo realized angrily. "Might as well bust this place."

Trunks and Miryo both barged through the wall of the vent into a wall of guards.

*

Kenja panted as he shot out a ki blast, destroying a mobile suit; Gohan and the others doing the same.

Suddenly, the ground rumbled and the base, in slow motion, began to blow up.

"MIRYO!!" Kenja and Pota both hollered. At the same time, Krillen and Gohan yelled, "TRUNKS!!" Miryo and Trunks were still inside!
