Mel: *evil grin*
Daichi: O.o Do I want to know?
Mel: Nothing…. I just have a reeeeeeeealy cool idea!
Tsuru: *blinks* And you're posting it?
Mel: Hai!
Naki: Eep! *dives under the desk*
Mel: *growls* it's not that odd…
Daichi: We're just surprised you're posting it instead of writing the idea then letting it rot on your desktop for the rest of it's life.
Mel": *sticks tongue out at Daichi* Well I'm posting it. And I'm going to have the next chapter up by the end of the week.
Tsuru: *laughs* I doubt it.
Mel: $20 says I do!
Tsuru: What's $20?
Mel: Uh…. $3 more than I have at the moment?
Tsuru: *sighs* Forget it.
Disclaimer: Weren't you paying attention? I have $17 at current. Now, don't you think that if I owned Gundam Wing I would have just a tiny bit more than that? Hmm? Come on now people. Use that thing resting on your neck for once. It's not just there to make noise.
Warning: None yet. For the most part, I tried to keep them in character, and there's no shounen ai in this chapter unless you want there to be some *grins*
Mel: now! on with the show!
Daichi: Show?
Mel: Fic! *grumbles* smart aleck…
Daichi: *grins* Why thank you!
Mel: O.O Tsuru's ruined him!
"Any problems?" Heero didn't even turn away from the computer he was hacking into as Duo ran into the room.
"Heh, that's just like you. Straight to business. No 'Hey Duo, how's the weather? Have any good war stories?' or even a 'Surprised to see your head's still attached––"
"Did you set the explosives?" Duo muttered an affirmative before shoving his hands into his pockets and peering out over Heero's shoulder.
"Now, who's having trouble?" Heero growled as the computer flashed 'Access denied' once again. "Let me at it."
"Wait, Duo! What––" The braided boy smirked as he slung an arm around Heero and typed a password. "How did you––" Duo held up a small security card between his fingers.
"I picked up a little present for you on the way. Thought it might come in handy––"
"That wasn't part of the mission. No one's supposed to know we're here." Duo sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"You know, a 'thank you' every once and a while would be nice…" He pulled a small black disk from the computer after it had finished downloading. He reached into his jacket and exchanged his disk for a duplicate, then popped it into the computer. "I don't see why we have to kill the system if we're going to blow it up. Doesn't that seem a little––"
"This computer is connected to three other major bases. By spreading this virus through the system, we eliminate future missions for ourselves." Duo blinked after hearing Heero's miniature speech. He couldn't believe that the perfect soldier was taking the easy way out on something. "Let's go."
"Huh? Oh, right." Duo slipped himself back into 'Shinigami mode', and followed Heero out of the room.
Heero was too far ahead. If someone were to notice them, they could easily be split up. Duo wanted to yell at him to slow down, but then he would give away their position. It would be best to push to catch up to him.
"Crap!" Something exploded as he turned a corner, blowing through the wall in the hallway. The bright light blinded Duo, and the blast threw him back into the wall behind him, knocking the wind out of him.
Black spots danced in front of his eyes as he tried to stand. He could feel warm blood dripping down the side of his face. Once he had finally gotten to his feet, he could see that soldiers had cornered him. Heero was on the other side of the debris.
"Just go!" Duo shouted as Heero attempted to climb over the mess. "Damn it, Heero! Get out of here before they get you!"
"You have the disk. I can't leave without it." Duo reached into his jacket and threw the disk at Heero, right before the guards opened fire on him. They must have thought he was going for his gun.
Heero caught the disk and quickly exchanged it for his own gun. He shot down eight soldiers before running, which was just enough to get the to stop firing at Duo.
"Let him go. We have one more than anyone else in the world. Don't push our luck." Duo sighed with relief, knowing that Heero would get out fine with the disk. Then he blacked out.
To be continued…
Mel: *blinks*
Tsuru: That's it?
Daichi: You're just going to leave it there?
Mel: With that cliff hanger? You're right. I'll write the rest right now.
All: *laugh*
Mel: I'm serious! Guys?
*everyone else has left*
Mel: *pouts*
