Thank you to everyone who reviewed! I really appreciate it! Have a rose, but don't prick yourself… @--&---- *ouch* oops…oh well, on with the fic, even though I'm injured….
Chapter 4
A black shadow flitted into the hangar. The house, standing approximately fifty feet away was missing a person, and Howard was about to realize that.
Duo grimaced. He slipped into the hangar soundlessly.
"DUO!!!"
Duo jumped into deathscythe and flicked a few switches on the control panel. He hadn't needed to turn on the light of the hangar. Appearances and colour made no difference to him anymore. He felt a little guilty for leaving Howard like this, but he had to help the other pilots, and he had to show them that he wasn't lying. Duo Maxwell didn't lie.
Deathscythe's engines roared to life, Attracting Howard's attention from inside of the house. Now he knew where the escaped pilot was.
"Damnit. How could I let that happen? Hm…maybe he can see again. But seems to me he would have said something…"
Duo on the other hand was flying off towards the Oz base where his friends had gone. The screen of Deathscythe was flashing colours to notify him of the other gundam's position [easily 90 degrees north of where Deathscythe was heading], but Duo couldn't depend on tracking devices anymore. He was going to have to train his mind to be able to see farther. If he missed the shuttle, he'd have to get another one somewhere. Maybe Zechs had one he wasn't using…
Duo smirked. Zechs always had an extra shuttle. And having enemies and a backup shuttle is a very bad idea.
Upon reaching the base, Duo found the other gundams already gone.
"Just as well. They wouldn't have let me come any further. I probably could have shown Wufei a thing or two about thermal energy though…"
Deathscythe took off once again, but this time Duo headed for the Peacecraft estate, where Zechs, or Milliardo, kept his spare shuttle.
*~*
"Beep Beep Beep"
Heero's eyes opened slightly and he glanced at his screen. "What the hell?" He sat up a little straighter. On the screen of his gundam he could see a civilian shuttle heading straight for him, and it was going at the proper speed to be carrying something the weight of a gundam.
Pushing the communications button, Heero tried to contact the shuttle. No response. Wing Zero was on auto pilot, in bird mode, flying slightly ahead of two other shuttles. One contained Sandrock, and the other contained Heavyarms and Nataku.
"Quatre, come in Quatre."
"I'm listening Heero. You see that shuttle too?"
"Yeah. Contact the others, I'm going to try to find out what it's cargo is."
"Copy that. Over and out."
Heero ended the transmission, and did a check on the shuttle. It was not a planned course. The shuttle was not scheduled to be here now. "Wait a sec…"
The shuttle had a number, as all shuttles do. And Heero knew a few off by heart, in case of emergencies. This number he knew all to well. The shuttle belonged to Milliardo Peacecraft.
"It's an Oz shuttle Quatre. Be on your guard. Nothing Wing Zero can't handle, but you never know. They might have a trick up their sleeve."
"Alright Heero. We're right behind you."
The shuttle caught up with the four pilots, and adjusted its speed to match theirs, flying along beside them.
"Gotta be a couple of mobile suits" Heero mused "for the speed it was travelling at…" the four waited, tense and cautious, expecting the worst.
However, none of them were expecting Deathscythe to emerge.
"Duo?!?" Heero said, astounded that his friend could be out here, in outer space, in Milliardo Peacecraft's shuttle, when he couldn't even see. His first reaction was that Duo could be working for Oz. He pulled the lever that brought Wing Zero out of bird mode, and took up the fighting stance.
"Don't recognize me or something Heero?" Duo asked over the radio. Heero noticed that he wasn't using a video transmission. "Or you think it's too good to be true?"
"Hn." Came Heero's response. "What are you doing here Duo."
"Came to help. I wouldn't stay behind. And if one of you aren't chicken, I'll prove that I can see just fine." Duo had decided to give up trying to explain that he couldn't see, but sense things. The others obviously wouldn't believe him.
"I'm not going to fight you Duo." Heero said.
"I didn't expect you to. Wufei however, is much easier to egg on." Duo flicked another switch and opened communications with the heavier of the two shuttles. "You in there Wufei? Lemme show you just how well I can see. Unless of course you think you won't win or if you're scared…"
"Maxwell, you're on. I am not weak."
"Great. Just as I expected." Duo grinned and ended that transmission.
"Duo, you're going to get yourself hurt." Heero said.
"Ooo, is Heero worried about me? Anyway, how could I have stolen the shuttle without anyone noticing if I couldn't see anything." Duo smiled to himself. A few warning beeps from his gundam told him Wufei was approaching. Flicking a few switches, the green scythe flashed menacingly. Duo could feel it's power as he held it in Deathscythe's grasp and got ready for Wufei's attack. He knew the other pilot was approaching from the right. The massive gundam's movement was just too hard to miss.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
well, please let me know what you think! Was this chapter any good? I'm almost done, I think there's one more chapter. I'm not planning on making this any longer. Ok, I also wrote a really funny fic about tribal names for the gundam pilots. [if you have no idea what I'm talking about, an example would be "Heero No Talk" and it would suggest that Heero doesn't talk very much.] so go check it out! Hehehe…anyway, leave a review!
