Part 6
Wufei's POV
I came to still in the ventilation shaft. I was amazed that they didn't find me, but had no idea were I should head. After a few seconds debate I went down the one on the left. By now my entire body hurt. I was reminded of every place I had been beaten, and had to stop once when one of the knife cuts started to bleed.
Continuing on my journey I came to vent, and looked through. In that room was my Nataku. There where two men looking up in the cockpit, and I followed their gaze. From where I was I was unable to see anything. I decided to see if I had any luck in the world left and made my way further down the shaft. Amazingly I found a vent that allowed me not only to look into my Gundam, but to also hear what was being said.
"Where is he?" Heero demanded.
I listened to the rest of the conversation with growing worry. Domon now knew enough that if he wanted to he could give us all to OZ, yet he had said he didn't want to do that? Something strange was going on here. Domon left and tried to gauge the distance between the vent and my Gundam.
Decided the distance was to far for me to jump in my current condition, I looked around from my perch. If I couldn't escape then somehow I needed to destroy Altron. I went to move and watched as more guards came into the room. They did a walk through, made some obscene joke about my Gundam and left. I was given time to think back while they did their walk through.

How had I gotten to this position? I still had no idea what went wrong. Sneak in, plant a virus in OZ's computers, while Duo blew up the other half of the base, and get out. Duo's explosions had never come, and the necessary confusion that should have allowed me to get away wasn't there. I still finished my job and went to the door to leave the small computer room, a smile crossing my face; my virus should have kept them occupied for a few months.
The door opened and my smile vanished. In front of me were about 20 OZ troops, all with guns out. The commander smiled at me as he order them to capture me.
I jumped behind the door and hoped it would close. It didn't, so I tried to open fire with my gun. The gun wouldn't go off, something had it jammed. In those few seconds I could have tried to escape I instead focused on my gun. Wishing all the world for my sword.
Glancing up I realized my mistake. There was now no chance for me to escape, one of the troops was practically next to me, while another one grabbed one of my arms. While this was the first time I had ever made such a mistake, I had a feeling it was going to be my last.
I was forced to the ground while one of them searched me. Finding nothing I was handcuffed and pulled to my feet.
"Go tell the General we have one of the Gundam pilots." Their leader said and one of them ran off to tell their boss. I was moved to a room to await my questioning.

The slamming of the door brought me out of my memories.
After checking to make sure the room was empty, I moved to a better position to try and get into my Gundam. I kicked out the vent and took my chances. Amazingly I landed on the hatch and pulled myself into the seat. Simply glancing at my Gundam I could tell it wasn't going anywhere. Knowing that I would not be able to get off the base myself I attempted to open a channel to Heero.
"Domon this isn't funny." Duo said as he answered, then he looked at the monitor. "Whoa Wufei! No offence but you look like shit man."
My name brought Heero over.
"Wufei?" Heero asked. I finally realized how I looked, a beaten, bleeding Chinese man. My hair had been taken out of the tie, and was flowing freely. I had a black eye, split lip, and an extremely bruised face. I knew that blood was caked on my face, as it was on my tore clothing.
"I'm alive Heero, Altron is unable to fly." I glanced down and realized someone was in the room and moving toward my Gundam. "I need to go." I said, closed the channel, and glanced at the person who had entered the room.
I got ready to jump, they looked up at me and locked their eyes on mine. I moved the same time as they did, and somehow managed to make it into the air ducks. They pounded something on the wall and told whoever was on the other end I was in the duck work.
Suddenly a very bad felling came over me. I crawled, pushing my body farther than I should have, several times coming close to passing out. I arrived at a vent in another room and looked in. There was a Gundam in that room, I just wasn't sure what Gundam it was. I had never seen one like it, I just hoped OZ wasn't getting information from my Gundam to build one of their own.
I was debating moving into the room when my decision was made for me. The air vents started to slam closed. I had a felling if I stayed in there I would be knocked out with gas, they must have already guessed where I was. I pushed the grate off and moved into the room, just as a door slid down on the opening I had come through. I pressed my ear against the door and was able to hear something like gas being released. I congratulated myself on being right once.
I slowly stood and made myself walk across the cargo bay. I was able to make it to the foot of the strange Gundam before I collapsed. The amount I had been moving was too much for my injuries. I knew of at least one broken rib, which was reminding me it was there. I pulled myself to a sitting position. The door opened and I tried to pull myself to my feet, I was unable to and I watched Domon enter the room. He looked at me and I thought he was going to call for some. Instead he locked the door behind him. That had me worried. I was locked in a room with someone who I didn't know, nor did I know what they where going to do and I was in to much pain to move.
Domon smiled at me, and did something that amazed me.
"Here." He said and handed me his food, "Eat, it's not poisoned."
I took his food and glanced at it, I knew I was starving. I almost gave it back to him but my stomach rumbled.
"Eat, I need you to get you're strength back so I can get you out of here."
I knew he was right, so I started eating. Before I realized it I had finished the meal and his drink.
"Don't worry about it kid, I can get more." He told me when he saw my look.
"I'm not a child." I muttered.
"You look like one to me."
"Don't ever call me a child." I said and tried to stand, my body gave out when I reached my full high and fell into his arms.
"Ok you're not a kid, Wufei."
I stiffened in his arms. "So what are you going to do to me?"
"Oh nothing, I'm getting you off this base, by tonight if possible."
"How?"
"In God Gundam." He told me, he glanced at his Gundam, a proud look in his eyes.
"We can't go without Nataku." I said.
"We have to leave it. There should be a way to come back for it." He was about to say something else when loud voices in the hall cut him off.
"Domon open up, we need to inspect in here. Our scans showed the boy got went in here." A voice called.
Domon pushed me up and I began to crawl toward the hatch on the Gundam, Domon following me. I realized they where breaking through the door and knew that if they captured me I would never have a chance to get free again. Entering the Gundam I realized there wasn't a seat.
Domon pushed me in between rings in the center of the Gundam.
"Stand still, when you feel it close around your feet break free. And don't move."
The rings surrounded me and I felt a plastic substance close around me. I did as Domon had told me and found a suite around my body. At they where able to get the door to the room open.
"Now move out of the rings."
I did as he said and watched as the same substance surrounded him. The hatch closed and the Gundam turned on. The OZ troops stood in utter shock and watched as Domon punched the air lock and left the base and went into outer space. A force filed had come up protecting the troops when the room had been depressurized.

A/N: Well it got longer, it started out 2 pages, went to just about 3, and is now 3 ½ pages. Oh yeah, sorry if anything on Domon's Gundam was wrong.
