Hey everyone!
I'm really sorry for the long wait for this chapter. I've been procrastinating.
Ok, it's not going to be too long because of this excellent cliff hanger that I came up with…heh…*grins evilly*
Thank you so much to those of you that reviewed!! 5 chapters and 58 reviews…that's a first for me!

Chapter 6
Duo's hands formed fists, his knuckles turning white. "I'll explain later." He said quietly, "But I can't do computers."
Heero raised one eyebrow, but his gaze remained locked on the computer screen. "Hn. Stand guard then."
Duo stood and paced back and forth across the room, wanting to help his friend but knowing he couldn't. "Just don't lie to him Maxwell. Then everything'll be ok." HE thought to himself grimly.
"Found it. We need to move south." Heero flicked a few more switches, and a copy of the map shot out the printer. He handed it to Duo headed for the door. "We need to get to the big red spot."
"How helpful." Duo said sarcastically, stuffing the piece of paper into his pocket. He couldn't see the writing on the paper, much less the colour of a "big red dot". Frowning, Duo headed after Heero, and the two continued the mission.
"Which way now?" Duo called out as his finger pulled the trigger a few more times.
"Left at the second hallway." Heero called back.
Duo nodded. "Let's blow this popsicle stand." He seethed, heading out into the dangerous hallway once more. He could sense more soldiers coming their way, and he had a feeling their "surprise advantage" had just about worn out.
Sensing Heero behind him, Duo picked up speed. This was taking too long.
5 minutes later, they entered the main engine room.
With a manical grin, Duo surveyed the room with his mind. "In the shadows." He hissed at Heero, and the two hid themselves quite efficiently, avoiding the soldiers that were rushing around, trying to get things done.
The red lights were flashing, warning sounds blaring in the engine room.
Duo could sense the main engines. He picked up on the fact that they were working overtime, so to speak. The resource satellite was set to full speed.
"How are we supposed to blow this place up?" Duo wondered out loud. There were soldiers everywhere. "I mean, sure the 'throw the wrench in the gears' trick works on cartoons, but I don't think anyone here's gonna just hand us a wrench, bow, and ask us to please throw it in."
Heero grunted and nodded towards the main computer.
Duo picked up on the motion, and followed the nod to the computers. There were at least ten Oz soldiers in that one area, and it was visible from everywhere in the room. Impossible for anyone to corrupt in any way. Duo even doubted if his partner could pull that off. "I think we need a plan."
"No kidding."
"I Still don't get how those computers are going to help us destroy this room." Then Duo remembered something. "Hey Heero, Oz uniforms come with grenades, right?"
Heero raised an eyebrow at the suggestion, then nodded his head slowly. "We might have trouble getting our hands on one without being noticed."
Duo's jaw dropped. "Heero, I'm offended! You are speaking to L2's most recognized thief and pickpocket extraordinaire. Let me show you how it's done…Don't move, I'll be right back."
Heero was just starting to worry ten minutes later, when Duo returned with not one, but three grenades, and two gas grenades, along with masks.
"These should help." He said, grinning.
Heero looked at Duo sceptically, wondering how he'd managed to get his hands on all that…stuff…
It was then that Heero noticed Duo's blank stare. "How many fingers Duo?" Heero asked, holding up three.
Duo replied correctly, but Heero wasn't about to be fooled that easily. Moving his hand back and forth, he dropped one finger and asked again.
"Two." Duo replied. "I'm fine Heero."
But pilot 01 shook his head. Duo's eyes should have followed his moving hand had he been able to see properly. They had stayed in that same blank stare, not moving a millimetre.
"Tell me what's going on Duo, remembering that Shinigami doesn't lie."

OOooo…and the suspense builds…what will Duo reply?
Sorry it's so short!!!
