Chapter 6: A New Mission
"Heero…"
Heero stiffened as he heard a voice in the cemetery. Am I dreaming?
"Heero… can you hear me?" A familiar voice echoed in Heero's transmitter. "Where are you? Heero, respond, Heero.?"
"Hai. This is Heero. What is it, Quatre?" Heero answered.
"We have a new mission. Go back to the base immediately,"
"Ryoukai. I'll be there in a minute," Heero hurriedly ran to the gate. A new mission. What could that be?
Heero ran his way to their base and made his way to the hangar. He found his co-pilots checking their gundams. He stood, catching his breath.
"There you are," Quatre said as he turned to Heero. "We have reports that Oz is holding an underground prison somewhere in the north. We are to free the prisoners there and return them to a safe place."
Heero took a look at Wing and began checking its parts. "I see, an underground prison. No exact location yet, huh?"
"We have to find out for ourselves," Trowa said.
"It seems to be located near an old Oz research base," Wufei said. "These prisoners are believed to be sex slaves, used by those with power."
How inhuman… Heero gritted his teeth. "We should start as soon as our gundams are ready."
"Hai," the other three chorused. "And Heero," Quatre threw an uneasy look to Wufei and Trowa. The two nodded their heads to him.
Heero eyed them suspiciously. "Hn?"
"We think Duo is there…"
Heero's eyes widened in shock.
