More Than Meets The Eye
Chapter 11
Dorothy and Meiran's group kept together until they reached the coastline behind the Peacecraft residence. There they split up to their respective tunnels.
Dorthy stuffed her uniform in the waterproof bag as she got ready to dive in the water. Her suit was a black full body with dark purple lines running down the length of her arms, legs and sides. Quatre and Catherine had similar suits, except Catherine's full black, and Quatre had a navy blue.
"Everyone ready?" Catherine stretched a bit as she eyed her two partners.
"Yeah." Dorothy and Quatre bit into their pocket sized scuba gear and walked down to the water.
Quatre looked back at the redhead who was still finishing up. "You got the bag?" Catherine nodded and he dived in.
Dorothy waited a while before diving in herself, and Catherine followed a few seconds behind. Their door was actually a cave, which led up to a cavern. That would later turn into a sewer-like appearance, only more clean.
The three found the cave easy enough, but the problem was swimming through it. Eventually, it's would bend upwards, and the sides were rough with protruding rocks. Luckily, Quatre had the flash light, unluckily, it was hard for Catherine to see. So Dorothy was forced to swim side by side with the young acrobatess.
It was nearly five minutes before any of the three reached the surface of the pool in the cavern.
"Well, that was refreshing." Catherine stroked a hand through her wet hair. "Are we going back this way?"
Dorothy looked over at the redhead. "Only if we lose. But then again, that's not quite an option." Dorothy strolled over to the bag and slipped on some pants, shoes, jacket, and the ridiculous little hat they had to wear.
*~*~*~*~*
'Damn Stalac-the-ma-thingies.' Meiran thought as she continued through the cave. It was huge and quite easy to spot. The Cave was rather illuminated by the group's lantern and flashlights. The problem was finding the way to the house, on time. "So Sally, where to next?" She ask the blonde as she eyed the six tunnels in front of her. "Come to think of if, which way's backward and forward?"
"Quiet woman, we're thinking." Meiran could see the illuminated sheet of instructions when she turned around. "It's that way." A flashlight moved from the paper to a tunnel in the distance.
"Great, let's go." Meiran began to move when she heard a light yelp. She turned and her light focused on Sally, who was frozen in fear. "What's wrong?"
"I think I felt a snake crept up, I can't tell if it was poisonus, but it bit me." Meiran bit her lip, resisting the urge to call the snake Wufei.
"Wufei, look for the snake, I'll check the bitemark." She heard footsteps and walked over to Sally.
*~*~*~*~*
Quatre, Dorothy and Catherine had been walking for quite a while. They walked along the edge of the sewer-like environment in complete silence. That was, until they heard footsteps over head. The tunnel went only a foot over their heads, so the footsteps could be heard clearly.
"What's that?" Quatre looked upwards, as if to inspect the ceiling.
"Well, we're probably deep below everyone else, it may be another group." Dorothy continued to walk calmly.
"I'm sure," Quatre said sarcastically. "And all of the suddden, someone will make a hole in the ceiling and their shoe will fall into my hand."
Dorothy smirked; it wasn't everyday that Quatre got like this. "You never know..."
Then the footsteps stopped, and voices could be heard. The sound of feet shuffling could also be heard. Then they heard a mechanicle sound, and a voice. "Uh, guys!?" Then there was a soft thudding sound and a shoe fell from the ceiling, with Quatre catching it by instinct, letting out a startled gasp as well. The three looked up to see Hilde's lower body jumping over the hole that had appeared in the ceiling.
"Hey? Duo? If that's you, learn how to tie your shoes!" Dorothy yelled towards the hole. The next thing she saw was Noin's face appearing, again in the hole.
"Catherine?" The redhead nodded and waved slightly. Noin smiled and waved back. "Umm, Dorothy, could I have Duo's shoe?" Her hand was outstretched and waitng.
"Well, if you think I want it, you're sadly mistaken. Skunks probably wouldn't be able to stand it." Hilde's laugh could be heard. Dorothy took the shoe out of the surprised Quatre's hand and gave it to her.
"L'odour de la pied de Maxwell." Dorothy smirked.
"We gotta go but you're explaining about this later." Catherine called and Noin nodded. A few moments later, Dorothy could hear the htach closing again. "Now that was odd." Catherine said.
*~*~*~*~*
Meiran and her little group were on their way again after confirming that the snake was indeed not poisonous. It had drawn little blood which Sally patched up easily.
The cave had long turned into a hall-way like environment, and the multiple tunnels had gone. Meiran walked comfortably beside Sally, who was between the two younger asians.
Looking forward, Wufei noticed something strange in the distance. "It's a light." He stated blankly.
Sally must've had to stick her two bits in because she said, "The light at the end of the tunnel, should we move toward or away from it?"
Meiran looked at her oddly. "Well, it's not a train, I say towards."
Wufei rolled his eyes and continued to walk towards the light. As he neared, he could hear footsteps right outside. The opening was a small tunnel in the ground, near the ground. "Where are we?" he hissed to the approaching women.
"In the basement, probably the laundry room." Meiran pushed wufei out of her way to check the surroundings. "This opens by pushing out, but it looks stuck."
Wufei walked back towards her. "Hn. Then we'll have to try together."
Meiran turned a little bit and spotted the patrolling guard. "How crazy do they get? A guard in the laundry room, I mean, please!" she hissed to herself. Then Meiran turned to Wufei and Sally. "Two of us push while the other gets ready to shoot. There's only one here, but we'll still have to be ready."
So Wufei and Meiran got stuck pushing. "One, two, three!" They both whispered in unison. Stepping back, they let Sally aim for the hole. Sure enough, the guard stick his head in for a look. Sally, instead of shooting, ran foward and knocked him out.
Meiran cocked an eyebrow at her partner. "What?" Sally said defensively, "Did you think I would actually blow his brains out? He wasn't supposed to look so quickly!"
They pulled the man out of the way, but before Sally or Wufei could get out, Meiran lunged forward and knocked Sally out. "Woman! Who's te-" Meiran grabbed a slip of cloth out of her pocket and held it to Wufei's mouth and nose. Within seconds, Wufei was knocked out as well.
"Thank you, Midii." Meiran whispered as she shot the camera and climbed out of the hole.
*~*~*~*~*
"So, where are we suppose to end up?" Quatre looked around the tunnel for the end, but saw none.
"Below the kitchen." Dorothy responded curtly. Quatre looked forward to see the tunnel shrink, but it was a dead end after that. He quirked an eyebrow.
"It ends there." He looked over to see Dorothy roll her eyes.
"I know, the doorway is in the ceiling." They had reached the smaller passageway by then, and Dorothy turned around. "Sorry guys, but it ends here." Quatre's eyes widened and he saw Catherine start to back away, by Dorothy was too fast. She elbowed Catherine on the temple, knocking her out.
"W-who's side are you on?" Quatre stared backing away a bit too, but said the look of weariness in her eyes and stopped.
She sighed. "Lena's." And then, everything went black.
*~*~*~*~*
Dorothy wearily climbed out of the pit into the kitchen, to find the rest of the girls already there. There were unmoving bodies being stuffed in the supply room by Midii.
"Been here long?" Dorothy enquired her friends as she moved her legs so they could close the latch.
"If we had, I still wouldn't be doing this, now would I?" Midii kicked the door close and locked it.
Relena sat on the counter and laughed quietly. "We're invading my home and you're still making jokes."
"Lena, that reminds me, are you sure you wanna do this? Une and Trieze isn't going to like this." Dorothy walked over to a wall to lean against.
"Too late now, isn't it? Anyways, we gotta go, if we want to make it before anyone wakes up." Relena walked out the door, not bothering to beckon the others to come.
Dorothy rolled her eyes and followed her blonde friend. Eventually, the other left the room too.
*~*~*~*~*
Dressed in Oz uniforms, the five ran down the corridors and shot out any cameras they saw. Most had no idea where they were going, but they followed Relena faithfully.
Relena led them down on hallway to another, running from a rather faint memory, never having time to come visit the room she was heading to before. She had her gun drawn out and ready to shoot. She didn't even look back to see if her friends were following; they could leave if they wanted.
She turned into a washroom, and the others followed. When she came out, her bangs had dissappeared, and her hair was in a braid, tucked underneath her jacket, hidden from view.
Dorothy's eyebrows now looked like regular eyebrows, and her few pieces of stubborn hair had also dissappeared. Her hair was in pigtails and pulled to the back of her head.
Hilde had mad more bangs for herself. The strands in the back stood out a bit too. Meiran had made a small ponytail out of her hair, leaving a few strands unkempt. Midii had pulled her hair into a high ponytail and she suddenly had bangs.
Satified with their altered appearances, they made their way slowly down the hall. Relena had tucked her gun in her waistband a while ago, no longer afraid of being reconized instantly.
She turned to a door to her left, and walked in slowly, straight as a soldier. The room was filled with screens along three walls. They were all fuzzed out, the aftermath of her and her four friends shooting each and everyone of them out. There were only a few screens still working.
Her four friends walked in as well. She fell to one knee and bowed her head to the chair infront of her. The other four saluted, two at both of her sides.
"Mission completed, Ma'am." Dekim appeared beside the chair, he smirked and whispered to someone.
"At ease." He announced. Meiran, Midii, Dorothy, and Hilde relaxed a little bit, yet still rather tense. Relena stood up slowly, her eyes peircing through Dekim's, and saw right through the thick leather of the chair.
"Well done." The chair turned slowly, and the figure of a little girl could be seen. The chair stopped halfway, and she leaned forward and blue light illuminated her young face. She was smirking lightly, an odd glint in her eyes. "Remind me to give you all a raise, especially you... Relena."
*~*~*~*~*
I just made the five page mark, phew! I know I left off at quite a cliffhangar, but I'll update sooner or later. So, you may be confused right now. Is Relena good, or is she bad? O.o You'll have to wait until the next chapter, though it would help if you'd review. *hint* *hint* No tomatoes are to be thrown, ok? Ok!
