Chapter 12:  Rescue Plan and History Lesson

            How long has it been since I was kidnapped?  It feels like it's been months; even years since I lost saw my friends… even though it was only a few hours now.  I tried to sit up properly, but my legs were bound together with rope and my arms were as well.  Why did he have to do that to me?  Didn't he even recognize me?!!!  What did Uncle do?!!!!!!!!!  I know I shouldn't panic, but this is too damn much for me to handle!!!!!!!!!  I mean… I thought he was dead!!!!!!!!!!!  HE WAS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YOU CAN'T BRING PEOPLE BACK FROM THE DEAD, COULD YOU?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            I'm starting to lose touch with my crazy side… I'm becoming more normal now, aren't I?  Well, I guess it doesn't matter now.  Duo, you were always a great person… even if you did call me a babe.  I still don't forgive you for that, but… well, you know.  Trowa, I hardly even know you… and the same goes for Wufei and Heero as well.  I wish I could've gotten to know you guys better.  And Quatre…

            The door opened, taking me away from my thoughts.  "How are you?" asked my captor.  "Feeling okay?"

"Why?" I asked him, my gag had long been gone.  "Why did you do this?  I thought… you loved me."

"What are you talking about?  I don't know who the hell you are!  I'm just doing this 'cause it's job, got it kid?"

"You… sound so different than last time I saw you… Father."

****************

            The ex-pilots were all in the large meeting room, planning on how they were going to rescue Sakaya.  "We need some kind of plan on how to get there without being detected," said Duo.

"Yeah, but we also need the passwords," said Heero.  "Isn't that right, Namuur?"

            The older man glared at him.  He was captured by Quatre and Rashid after failing to cooperate.  "I'm not saying anything to you children.  You can go ahead and try to get past them, but it won't work.  Every guard in there is pure perfection, just like Sakaya would have been had she continued her training."

"Excuse me?" inquired Quatre.

"She began training to be a soldier at age six, but because of her insanity she was told to stop.  Those trainers were just chicken to train a girl with the mind of an assassin."

"Oh, really."  Wufei walked over to the man.  "I think that there's something you're not telling us, and I plan to figure out what it is."

"You can torture me all you want, but you will not get any information out of me."

"Why don't we test that theory then?"

            Trowa glanced out the window.  "There's Miss Noin and Zechs," he said carelessly.

"Good."  Quatre looked Namuur straight in the eye.  "You are going to help us rescue Sakaya, do you understand?"

"HA!  Yeah right.  Sorry, but like I said…uh!"  He looked up at the owner of the hand that was wrapped around his throat.  "Quat's right, dude," Duo said.  "You are going to help us whether you like it or not."

***************

            Ow…  Never thought he would smack me like that.  Okay, now lets think about this.  I finally get to see my father again, but he doesn't remember me.  Now, even if he didn't believe me, would he actually smack me across the face and throw me in the prison cell room?  Alright maybe he would 'cause he just did.  Why me?  I guess I deserve it in a funny way though.  It meant that I was still alive, right?  Yeah, I'm still alive, at least for now anyway.  What was he going to do with me?  Am I stuck here?!!!  Oh crap it all!!!  I can't believe this is actually happening to me!!!!!

            Hmm… I wonder if my penguins are helping my friends any.  I didn't even get to feed them before I was captured.  Next time I'll be sure to ask if I can take care of them first before I "willingly" leave with them.  Yeah, and then it'll be a great big penguin war!!!!!!!  We will be victorious!!!!!!!!  Yeah!!!!!!  "Victory is ours!!!!!!!  We will crush them into oblivion!!!!!!!  We will be the proud rulers of this puny little planet!!!!!!!!!!  Okay now this sounds really weird."

"Of course it does."  I looked out my little window that was in the door.

"R-Ryan?"

"Listen, I've been thinking…"

"I didn't know you could think."

"Hmph!  Anyway, why is everyone after you?  You seem like a normal girl to me, if not a little crazy."

            What kind of a heck question was that?  What exactly was he asking me?  I had to think of the right answer.  But I couldn't.  He was right.  Why was everyone after me?  I turned away from the window.  "I… I don't know why."  And that was the best answer I could give him.

            I knew that he didn't like what he heard, but I couldn't help it.  I really didn't have a better answer to give him.  "Say, Ryan?  I think that you aren't really such a bad guy, you just care too much about money, don't you?"

"Yeah, I did.  But then you kicked my butt and I'm still waiting to get my revenge."

"Haha!  I guess I would too if I were you."  Silence formed between us then.  I couldn't stand it!  "Um…"

"What?"

"What do you know about a the gundams?"

"They were built to perform Operation Meteor.  That's basically all I know."

"What about the inventors of the gundams?"

            Again there was silence.  I never liked silence.  Silence was where the lies started and where they remained.  Silence… was in charge of all evil.

"I think there was five of them."

            I leaned against the door, listening intently.

"I'm not really sure who they were or where they came from, but the five scientists started work on one gundam first.  However they never finished it.  They separated and each created their own gundam, then got some kids to pilot them.  01 piloted the Wing Gundam for a while, but he kept on trying to destroy it.  02 had the Deathscythe, which was great for stealth.  03 was piloting the mobile suit known as Heavyarms, and 04 had Sandrock.  05 piloted Shenlong."

            He paused, and I held my breath, waiting for more background on what actually happened.  All I ever knew about the war was what I saw.

"I'm not entirely sure about what happened after they descended to Earth.  Everything from that period of time is a blank.  I don't remember it at all.  My next memory is about when the Wing Zero was completed, the original gundam that the scientists started, but were too afraid to finish it.  And that is all… that I can tell you."

            That was fine.  He then left the hall.  I didn't mind if I was alone again.  Now I had something to think about, and I had Quatre to dream about.
