Duo: Nothing...she just wants to cut my hair.

Heero: Hn. I don't believe you.

Duo: PLEASE BELIEVE ME!!! I DID NOTHING!!!

Heero: Hn.

KH: Do the disclaimer?

Heero: They own nothing. End of story.

KH: ^^' Right...well...read on minna!



(Last time)

"I really don't know how we aren't going to kill her. She's gotten very annoying." Haruka stated.

"She will calm down. After she has a talk with the Shinigami she will be back to her normal self."

Setsuna said.

"Shinigami? Who is the God of Death?" Hotaru asked.

"Don't worry about that. It is time." Setsuna said as she stood and walked to the door. The others followed her.



(NOW)

Six girls followed closely behind five guys in their gundams. One had an aqua color scheme. It held a trident for its weapon. Another had a dark color scheme. It was maroon, green, and black. It held a long staff that was beautifully decorated for its weapon. Another was colored with blue, yellow, and green. It held a curved, and very magnificently decorated sword for its weapon. Another had a blue color scheme (different shades of blue). For it's weapon, it had a large gun that froze things and once you touched it, the victim would shatter. Another was green, pink, and silver. Instead of a weapon that it HELD, it had a tiara on its forehead that produced

electricity. And when wanted, the pilot could take off the tiara (the tiara looks exactly like the one Jupiter has when using her first attack) and turn into a long golden staff that works the same way. The last was blue, black, and purple. For its weapon, it had a large glaive almost twice its height.

"Hotaru? Have you finished hacking into their database?" Michiru asked.

"Hai. All I need to do is download their information without their firewall system picking me up." Hotaru replied from her gundam.

"Good. Mako-chan? Have they detected us yet?" Setsuna asked.

"Iie. Our cloaking devices are still active. Besides..." She slightly giggled. "Duo's ranting on

how much fun this fight will be. Wufei's shouting at him to shut up. It's quite entertaining." Makoto replied.

"Mako-chan...you shouldn't be eavesdropping on their conversation." Michiru practically scolded. Then, they all heard Haruka laugh the same time Makoto did. "Haruka!" Michiru scolded.

"What? It's fun! Lighten up, Michiru." Haruka said, amused.

Suddenly, as they approached L3, familiar beeps signaled incoming suits. "Guys, we've got company!" Hotaru cried.

"Are you done with it, Hotaru?" Setsuna asked her.

"Hai. We can attack them. Their weaknesses are that their energy lasts for only one minute. No more. But, they're very powerful. That makes up for their weakness ten fold." Hotaru informed them. "Should I tell the other pilots?"

Setsuna thought for a brief moment. "Iie. It will do them no good. But, it gives us the advantage." Setsuna replied.

"Hai."



"Heero! These things are much stronger than anything we've ever fought before!" Quatre cried.

"Hai. I know. I'm going into the base to destroy it. I'll be right back. If I'm not back in ten minutes, blow up the base from here. Got it?" Heero ordered.

"Wait a minute here. Why don't you just blow up the base from here to begin with?" Duo asked him, slightly confused.

Heero continued to un-strap himself from the suit. "Because, I need the information off the database."



"Minna! Heero's going into the base." Ami told them.

"What?! Is he crazy?!" Hotaru cried.

"Iie. He's going in to get the information. Remember when I said that one of them will be killed if we do NOT come?" Setsuna asked.

"Iie! You meant Heero?!" Hotaru cried again, showing emotion she herself thought died a long time ago.

Setsuna nodded sadly. "Unless someone goes in to give him back up, then he will die." Setsuna replied softly.

Hotaru began to un-strap herself. "I'm going in."

Makoto looked at her oddly. "Taru-chan? Shouldn't you let me, Haruka, or maybe Setsuna do this? It's dangerous!" Makoto tried to talk her friend out of what she was doing.

"Iie." Hotaru replied monotonously. "I know my way in and out of that base. I checked out the blueprints of all the secret passages and walkways. Don't worry. If he sees me, he won't recognize me." Hotaru confirmed as she put on a face mask that hid her mouth and nose.

She jumped from the suit and floated off towards the base.



Heero turned for he felt like someone was following him. When he saw no one, he turned back and headed towards the base.

Hotaru smiled. She had worn all black so she blended in well with the black space. She didn't have to have a space helmet for she could easily breathe in space. It was one of the perks to being a sailor senshi.



"Setsuna? Is she going to be all right?" Makoto asked, rather worried about her friend.

Setsuna gave a small smile. "I sure hope so." Immediately, they turned their attention to the mobile dolls ahead.



Heero landed firmly on the base on Colony L3. He took off his space helmet and put it someplace he could grab it later. He then raced in the halls of the base to find his way to the main database.

Hotaru rolled her eyes. 'He could just easily ask us for the information...or at least download it from his suit...but NO...he had to do it the dramatic way. Baka.' Hotaru thought to herself as she continued to shoot down soldiers that were going to shoot at Heero's back.

Heero finally found his way to the main database. He threw in a bomb full of sleeping gas and knocked the scientists out. Hotaru stood guard outside the door as he walked in and began typing away. "What's this? It's already been hacked into?" He asked.

Hotaru shut her eyes tightly at her own stupidity. 'Shit...I should've figured this...' She thought to

herself as she once again shot down a guard that was making his way to the control room.

Heero briefly looked up at the sound of the shot but shook it off as he continued to hack into the program and steal the information. "Done. Mission complete." Hotaru then ran, shooting all guards in her way. She hurried to the hanger and waited for Heero to come.



Heero ran from the room. Immediately, someone shot him in his right arm. Hotaru jerked her head over to his direction and aimed the gun at the guards behind him. She perfectly showered them with bullets. Heero looked up at her. "Who are you?"

"Just someone who is going to help you. Now, come on. You need to get out of here." She said monotonously. He nodded, not fully trusting this person, but still complying.

He looked everywhere for his helmet. "What? Where the hell did the helmet go?" He asked. Hotaru rolled her eyes. "Come with me." He quirked an eyebrow.

"Just trust me." She took his head. "Now hold your breath." She ordered. As he did so, the hatch opened and they were sucked out.

'Now what the hell am I going to do? I can't hold my breath forever.' Heero thought to himself. Hotaru pulled him close to her and placed her mouth on his and opened it. Immediately, he felt hot air coming into his mouth. His eyes widened as she let him use her as a breathing tool. He wished he could thank her, but he couldn't speak at the moment. He did as she was

practically commanding. As soon as she saw Deathscythe Hell coming, she threw an explosion to get his attention. (Now, I don't know if this breathing trick would actually work. For the sake of this story, it just does.)

Duo turned. "Heero? He's kissing a girl!" He cried.

Hotaru threw Heero over to Deathscythe and made sure he made it. Duo opened his hatch and let Heero come in. "You were kissing a girl!" Duo gasped.

Heero glared. "She let me use her as a breathing tool because I didn't have my helmet." Heero said, rather annoyed. Duo grinned sheepishly for his apology.

"We defeated the mobile suits. It turned out, they only lasted about one minute. Then, they just shut off. Weird." Heero nodded.

"Take me to Zero. I have to destroy that base."

"Oh and five chicks showed up. They helped us. They were damn good too." Duo informed.

"Hn."



The six girls ran into the mansion and hurried to make it look as if they had never left. Ami went to the library. Michiru and Haruka went to the swimming pool. Setsuna went to a den. Makoto went to the kitchen. And Hotaru went to the gardens.



Five pilots walked in. Duo was talking cheerfully on how hot the girls sounded through the communications link. Quatre was just smiling, actually agreeing. Wufei silently ranted on onnas being allowed to pilot heavy machinery. Heero and Trowa remained silent. Makoto walked out of the kitchen, as if seeing who was there. "Oh, hi guys. Did your mission go well?" Makoto

asked. Duo ran up to her and began explaining everything about the mission for she was already told everything.



Heero excused himself to the gardens. He felt a sudden urge to go to the gardens at the moment...he didn't know why. He walked out the doors and humbly walked along the stone paths.



Hotaru stood in a clearing and brought out her glaive. It was about time she got some practice in. She began slicing the blade through the air.

Heero heard the changes in the wind movements, and looked in Hotaru's direction. He ducked under a bush and watched her. Wind played merrily with her hair as cold, yet gentle eyes focused on a tree in front of them. Small, beautiful hands moved a glaive. Heero felt a little bit of heat rise to his cheeks, but he quickly shook it off.

Hotaru immediately picked up on someone watching her. From the bushes, she spotted two Prussian blue eyes staring at her. She put her glaive in a resting position and walked up to him. "What are you doing?" She asked monotonously, but rather curiously.

Heero stood up. "Hn." He began to walk away. Hotaru shrugged and put the glaive back in her space pocket. She watched as the Perfect Soldier hurried to escape her. 'I wonder what HIS problem is...' Hotaru sighed and then retreated back into the mansion as well.
