Duo quickly zips up his spacesuit and grabs his helmet before he
opens the door to run out of his room. He dashes down the hallway until he
suddenly stops at a doorway. He pops his head in and looks around to see if
Quatre and Trowa were there. "You guys know what to do, right?" he asks
while tossing them a communicator.
"We'll be here waiting." Trowa says as he raises his hand up to catch the communicator.
"Great. Catch ya later." Duo says while turning to walk down the hall.
"Goodbye and good luck!" Quatre yells out.
Duo leaps into a small space shuttle and turns to look at Heero, "Ya ready?"
"Rodger." He replies while putting the shuttle in gear. He pushes it forward and they blast off. As they reach L1, Heero backs away from the controls as Duo sits in the captains seat.
Duo stretched his hands up high in the air, "Let the fun begin." He says slyly. He yanks a lever down, which immediately causes the back of the ship to burst into flames. He quickly gets the L1 personnel on the videophone and starts to panic. "We need help here! My pilot fell unconscious and the plane's in flames! I don't know how to fly this thing -- --and---And---AND I Don't Wanna DIE!!!!"
"All right, calm down." The man begged. "Try to land the ship into the docking bay as best as you can. We'll be here to help you when you crash."
".Ok." Duo says slightly more relieved and shuts off the videophone. He immediately bursts out laughing. "Heero! You should've seen that guy's face! He looked so scared. Especially when he thought I didn't know how to fly! He probably thinks the whole docking bay will explode or something." He pauses for a moment and looks out the window. "Now, let's see if I can crash this baby." He stretches his fingers and gets the shuttle to do a nosedive right into the docking bay. As soon as it crashed, Heero and Duo flew out of the smoking shuttle unnoticed and ran through the doorway that had the Restricted Area: Personnel Only sign.
"We'll split up now. Got it?" Heero commands, glancing at Duo.
"All right." Heero turns left and runs down the hallway. "It should be here, just a little bit further." He mumbles as he remembers the conversation with Ami. As he slows down and turns another corner he looks up, "This must be it." He mumbled as he sees the smoldering door. He cautiously enters the room and looks around. The room was full of filing cabinets. He walked over to one, opened it, and started searching for information on the beam cannon.
Meanwhile
Duo tiptoed carefully towards the snoring warden. He slowly stretched out his hand to reach for the keys attached to his belt. "Easy.careful.....Got It!" he automatically covers his mouth. "Oops.a little too loud." He says in a low whisper. He stood there for a moment staring at the lazy man, hoping he didn't hear all the commotion. Suddenly, the man starts to move. Duo's eyes gape open and he sprints out of the room.
Somewhere in L1
Relina looks up at the red light in the corner against the wall as it blares out a horrible loud noise. "What's happening!" she yells out.
"Someone has broken into the base." Dorothy replies. She sees Relina's eyes brighten, "No, it's not your little friends." She says annoyed as she walks towards the door. "They know the consequences if they even try." She snickers as she leaves the room.
In the filing cabinet room
Heero glances up at the flaring light. "Great job, Duo." He mumbles in annoyance. He starts flipping through the files faster, hoping no one would try to get into the room. Suddenly, he freezes and slowly pulls up an old newspaper article. He stands there staring at it in almost disbelief. "It can't be true. Can it?" he questions softly as he scans the article. "They'll want to see this." He says as he looks at the photo.
Somewhere in the hallway
Duo dashes down the hallway as several security men chase after him. While he runs, he tosses little explosives along the way as a distraction. "Wait!" he says to himself, "Why am I running? I have the keys to every jail cell here. If they arrest me and throw me in a cell, I can easily escape." He quickly runs down another corner and sees about thirty military men running towards him. "Oh well, this is where I'll stop." He mumbles and raises his hands in the air.
A few minutes later
"Hey!" Duo yells as they throw him in the jail cell. "You didn't need to throw me in THAT hard!" he yells to them as they slam the door shut. "Ow." he mumbles while rubbing his back.
"Duo? Is.that you?" a voice says weakly in the darkness.
"Ami?" he replies as he gets up.
Ami slowly gets up and tries to run to him. Instead, she trips and starts to fall.
Duo quickly catches her before she lands on the hard floor. "Are you ok? What happened?" he asks.
"It's kind of a long story." she replies. "Now how are we both gonna get outta here?"
"I have the keys." He says slyly while taking them out of his pocket.
"Wow! Then let's get.oh wait.it won't work that way."
"What? What do you mean?"
"Well.if we both escape at the same time, it'll be very suspicious."
"You're right.one of us will have to be in a disguise or something." Duo suggests. He starts aimlessly walking around the room, thinking of an idea. As he walks towards Ami's direction, an idea pops into his mind. He turns and starts looking up and down at Ami's features while circling around her. He then stops and curiously stares at her long, brown hair.
"What are you doing?" she asks while staring at him oddly.
He looks up at her and grins evilly, "I think I just got a great idea."
"We'll be here waiting." Trowa says as he raises his hand up to catch the communicator.
"Great. Catch ya later." Duo says while turning to walk down the hall.
"Goodbye and good luck!" Quatre yells out.
Duo leaps into a small space shuttle and turns to look at Heero, "Ya ready?"
