"What do you mean?! Why would the colonies want the girls?!" Duo bellowed
"An organization called White Fang has been forming in the colonies while you have been on Earth. They see you as a threat and therefore are taking you out one by one." J told them calmly. "After the last mission, they were taken along with their Gundams. They are currently being questioned; Shadow didn't go without a fight. She refused to let them take Schim. The only way she would stop is when they held Schim at gun point."
"They used her greatest weakness, the need to protect her friends." Heero stated.
* * *
"So this is the leader of the new Gundams, eh?" Quinze chuckled as he took a seat across from Ashleigh.
She was glaring at him so intensely, even one of the bravest men in the world would be scared.
"What the hell do you want with us, Quinze?" She growled.
"To get you blasted pilots out of my way. We can't complete out task with you around."
"You will achieve your task with all of us fighting, but your greed will eventually lead to your death." She told him, "The colonies will win the war, but they will not control Earth."
"Such big words for a young girl."
"I know the outcome of this war and your death."
"What, are you some kind of physic? Or just a know it all teenager?"
"Oh have my secrets. I don't speak of them. You will get nothing but cryptic answers from me. But I warn you, don't try to force them or you and your guards will be on the floor crying for your mommies."
" I don't think so. We have learned your weakness. If you don't answer our questions, the more your friends will get hurt."
"You sick son of a-"
"Such language. Where did you grow up, the streets?"
"Where I grew up is irrelevant, but I have been using this language for the past 6 years if you must know."
"Oh my, what are the children of these times coming to?" He said dramatically.
"Aren't we a thespian." Ashleigh stated. "If you want to be an actor then go to earth and go on Broadway."
"Thespian, thespian......now what did that mean again?" Quinze thought aloud.
"Oh my god he's stupid." Ashleigh sweat dropped. "A thespian is someone who is dramatic or wants to go into dramatics. Seriously, how could your have worked for Dekim? What the hell did or does he see in you?"
"You are using the old English words."
"Nye sir, I speak not in ye' old English, but in normal English you blockhead. I learned that word in 5th grade. Tu es muy estupido y tonto burro." She rolled her eyes.
"Enough of this, you are going to answer my questions or you and your fellow pilots will meet an untimely end." He snapped.
"You are bluffing." She stated cockily. "Besides don't you have a meeting right about now."
"What?"
"You know, the persuasion of Millard to join your side yadda yadda yadda."
"How do you know my plans?" He demanded as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"That's my little secret." She smirked.
"Keep and extra close eye on her." Quinze demanded as he stood up and left the room.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they behave." She called out and grinned at the guards evilly as the door closed. "Ready to have some fun boys?" She stood up, her cuffs falling to the ground.
* * *
"ALERT! ALERT!" The intercom sounded. "The leader of the Gundams has escaped! Repeat, Shadow has escaped!" Red lights flashed all around.
'Great, now's my chance.' Me Li inwardly grinned as suddenly stood up, broke the chair she was cuffed to on the table, and attacked the guards when they rushed at her.
Once they were down and out, she digged through the pockets of them until she found the key.
"Thanks hun." She picked up their guns and ran out of the room.
* * *
'Oh now what have you done Ashleigh?' Donna inwardly sighed.
"ALERT! Be on watch for Shadow and Lady Dragon. Again, be on watch of Shadow and Lady Dragon.
The guards nodded to each other and ran out of the room to stand guard at the door.
"Idiots." Donna shook her head as she pulled a pick out of her sleeve. "I owe you one Duo." She grinned as her cuffs came off. "Now where are they.............." She slipped her shoe off and pulled out a tiny explosive. "There we go." She smiled and place them on the door.
A few seconds later, the door blew off it's hinges and the guards rushed in. They couldn't see past the smoke and didn't notice Donna creeping up behind them. In a spilt second, the were on the ground groaning.
"Cold Donna. Really cold." Ashleigh voice came from behind her.
"I've left my mark on White Fang soldiers." She shrugged and picked up a gun. "Shall we go?"
Ashleigh chuckled and the two took off down the hallway.
* * *
"Crap! How did this happen?!" Me Li cursed as her and Chasity were cornered in a dead end hallway.
"Think on it later. We have to find a way to keep our butts alive." Chasity retorted as she fired off shots.
"Yo Li! Chas!"
"What the hell? Donna?" Li blinked in confusion.
"Above you."
"Vents." Chasity grinned.
"The next best escape." She undid the latch. "Come on." Donna instructed as she threw a smoke bomb down.
When the smoke cleared, the two were gone.
* * *
"The only one to not escape is Schim. They are sure to get her out net. Double security around her room and inform me if any of the pilots arrive." Leaha instructed.
"Yes ma'am." the guards then dispatched
* * *
"Aren't we a pretty little girl." One of the guards grinned. "Does you mommy and daddy know what you are doing?"
"That is none of your business." She snapped at them boldly.
"Aren't we a mouthy little girl? You should learn to do more useful things with that pretty little mouth of yours." He smirked.
"Now why would I do that? The only thing you'll see my mouth do is continue my mouthy attitude." She glared. "And possibly the last thing you will see me do is knocking your lights out you jerk."
"Don't mouth back to your superiors." He growled and was prepared to smack her when someone grabbed his hand.
"Weren't you ever taught not to hit a girl?" An angry voice came from behind him.
"A pilot."
"And your ass kicker." She added for him and twisted his arm behind his back. "Now give me the keys to her cuffs."
"Like hell I would." He growled.
"That's your problem." She hit one of his pressure points in his neck, rendering him unconscious. "You okay Trin?" Her face took a lighter look of gentleness.
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Good." She then started to dig through the pockets in search for the key. "Shoot! It isn't here."
"Leaha had them give it to her."
"Well then, plan B." Ashleigh pulled a pick out of her sleeve and quickly got the cuffs off of her.
"Come on you two." Donna urged.
Ashleigh took Trinity over to the air vent and lifted her up.
"Come on Ash. People are coming." Chasity yelled.
"I won't be able to get up in time." She closed the door to the vent. "Go on, I'll meet you in the shuttle bay." She yelled and grabbed a gun from one of the fallen guards.
She then ran net to the door and pressed her back against the wall. Soldiers rushed in, guns ready and Ashleigh snuck past them before taking off down the hallway.
"You idiots! There she goes." Leaha growled as she ran after her while pulling her gun out.
Gunshots rang out around her and the last thing Ashleigh knew was a searing pain on her right side and left shoulder.
* * *
"Where is Ashleigh?" Trinity asked frantically as they boarded the shuttle after loading their Gundams quickly.
"Attention Gundam pilots. We have captured Shadow. If you want your leader to remained unharmed, surrender yourselves immediately."
"Smita!" Me Li cursed.
"What are we going to do?" Chasity looked at the other three girls, "We can't just leave her here."
"But we can't get caught again." Donna stated.
"God knows what they will do to her." Trinity stated frantically. "She could be killed."
"I'll stay behind and try to get her out." Me Li stated.
"No, we aren't going to leave without the both of you." Chasity looked at her with determined eyes.
"You will go. It is a direct order." Li narrowed her eyes. "You guys go to Peacemillion and get the guys. We will have a better advantage."
"How do you know about Peacemillion, Li." Donna looked at her friend oddly.
"Ashleigh told me." She stated as she jumped out of the shuttle.
"Li!" Trinity yelled.
"Come on Trinity. We have to go." Donna pulled the other girl back as the door closed.
* * *
"We have to go get them." Duo stated as the 5 sat in the break room of Peacemillion.
Duo, Heero, and Quatra had meet Trowa and Wufei on Peacemillion after their last missions and filled them in with the information they had received on the girls.
"We can't jump right in, Maxwell. It would be suicide."
"Well better die trying then living on knowing that you didn't even bother to help them." He glared.
"Duo, I understand that you are upset that they have Ash and Trinity, but jumping right in without a plan is illogical. You need to use your head." Quatra tried to reason.
"I agree." Heero nodded.
"And this is coming from the boy who wouldn't even give a second thought about self-destructing." Duo criticized.
"But that makes Heero, Heero." Chasity's voice came from the doorway.
The five immediately stood up and looked to the door way.
"Chasity! Donna! Trinity!" Quatra's face took a look of shock. "How did you escape?"
"Their security sucks." Chasity stated bluntly.
"Where is Ashleigh?" Duo asked.
"And Me Li?" Wufei added.
"Ashleigh got recaptured and Li stayed behind to try to get her out." Trinity looked at the ground. "All because of me."
"What?"
"We were rescuing her when guards were coming and Ashleigh couldn't get up into the vents in time. She told us to meet her at the shuttle bay. When we got there she wasn't there. " Donna explained.
"The people made an announcement that they had Ashleigh and Me Li said she was going to stay behind." Chasity added.
"We are going to get them back, you can count on that." Wufei stated.
* * *
"Well Miss. Shadow, decided to go on a spree while I was gone?" Quinze questioned from out side Ashleigh's cell in the hospital ward.
"I wouldn't exactly call it a spree, but yeah and I had fun with those poor excuses of guards too." She smirked. "And did what any person would do for their friends."
"Some friends if they left you here while the escaped."
"They will be back, you can count on that." She turned her head and grinned evily at him. "And you will have 5 more Gundam pilots to mess with."
