Chapter 1: Compromisos and introductions
'Did anyone hear that?' asked duo. 'Hear what?' asked Heero 'That clunking sound!' he answered 'It's coming from up ahead.' Wufei said pointing up to the front of the line. 'Ahh!' gasped Quatre. In front of him a dark shape with two bright eyes had appeared in front of him. The five boys could see the shadow turn around in the small place the air vent provided and head off at an amazing pace in the direction I had come from. The boys followed but not quite as quickly. 'How'd he turn around in this vent? I can barely crawl in it let alone.' wondered duo out loud 'Shut up Maxwell.' Wufei said from behind the American. The five exited the shaft in a corridor; Heero saw a door half open a few meters down the corridor, the five entered it. It was pitch black and there were no windows, Wufei turned on the lights. The room was home to five containment cells. The cells were cube shaped and about 5metres each way, the front wall was clear and there seemed to be nothing there, but every now and again electricity crackled down and across. Four of the cells were empty but around the fifth four people were talking to the last prisoner. They were all dressed the same, white t-shirts and shorts. The prisoner's eyes widened and pointed to the five pilots. She had long waist length black hair and very dark eyes. Her four companions turned around, there was another with black hair but her's was shoulder length and had thin bangs, the third also had shoulder length hair but her's was light blonde the fourth had elbow length wood brown hair. The fifth stepped forward and the other three out of the cells hid behind. The fifth had short cropped dirty blonde hair that had red streaks running through it, grey green eyes flashed half hidden under long bangs. 'Who are they?' asked Quatre. 'Yo me encargo ayuda ella salir.' 'Leave it to me. Help her get out.' Translated Trowa, 'Spanish.' 'Fine. We'll find out what they know.' Said Heero taking a step forward. 'Ah querido.' Said the leader of the other group mockingly. The two advanced on each other to the centre of the room, Heero was the first to "attack" by drawing his gun. The Spaniard easily disarmed him with a high spin kick, then knocked his legs out from under him with the other, caught the gun and aimed at his head. Heero, from his position on the floor could do nothing. 'We're trying to help you! Please listen!' said Quatre taking half a step forward. 'Say what?' asked duo 'Their shirts, the numbers. They're the experiments we're here to, collect.' Said Wufei catching on. 'You're the gundam pilots?' asked one of the girls by the cell. 'Yeah, well, duh!' said Duo 'Yo rendirse!' said the Spaniard pulling Heero to his feet and returning his gun 'lo siento, tu mirar querer guardas.' 'Anyway, who's for getting out of here?' asked duo. 'We are.' Chorused the girls. After disabling the electric field which the Spaniard did with ease and without setting of any alarms, even the well hidden ones, the 10 set off again through the vents. After about twenty minutes crawling about the Spaniard, who was third in line, Heero in the lead and the blonde girl behind him, stopped, causing duo to crash to a halt also. 'Do you mind? We are trying to escape!' said duo 'Hurry up.' Said Heero 'Don't blame me! The one in front of me stopped!' The Spaniard muttered something and turned down a completely different shaft to them, still muttering. 'Uh, Trowa, what does "tonto" mean?' duo asked as he watched the shadow crawl down the vent. 'Idiot.' Trowa said simply. 'Oh. Hey Heero. That Spanish guy went down here. What do we do?' 'Follow.' Said a girl at the back. 'Al has escaped through these vents before, trust me when I say follow.' 'Fine,' said Heero. Everyone followed the Spaniard and soon enough they were outside and calmly walking through dense forest in silence. Soon the gundams loomed up in front of the 10, the boys felt inwardly proud at the reaction they got from their five companions. The girls all gasped and then gapped in awe. One whistled and the Spaniard let an appreciative smile settle on the pale face, and then sat on Heavyarms' foot. 'There should be room for two in a gundam but I'm afraid you'll have to sit on the floor.' Said Quatre. 'We've had worse, trust me!' Said the blonde, 'okay girls, grab a guy!' 'Now before you throw yourselves at us girls, how about some names, ages.vital statistics?' Duo asked with a broad grin. Wufei clipped him round the back of the head. 'Jade, Jade Tarison.' Said the girl with long black hair laughing, 'I'm 16, bra size.' 'You're wearing one?' 'Oh ha ha. I wouldn't have said anyway.' 'I'm Katrina. 16.' said the blonde. 'Simaron, Zebanie Simaron, please call me Zeb. I hate hearing my full name almost as much as seeing it spelt!' said the black haired girl with bangs. 'Oh, and I'm 17, by a month and a bit!' 'Chloe, 16.' Said the brown haired girl. 'And over there, that's Alexandra, she is.' Zeb started, pointing to the Spaniard on Heavyarms. 'A girl!' said Duo his eyes wide. 'Yeah wouldn't guess with the low voice and hair cut would you! She.' '.is capable of speaking for herself.' Said the Spaniard from behind Zeb making her jump. 'You speak English!' duo said 'Observant aren't you!' said Zeb without cracking the smile that her eyes showed. The Spaniard ignored him, 'my name is Alexandra, call me Alex, I'm 18.' 'No she's not.' Said jade in a loud whisper. 'She's as good as.' Chloe replied. 'Let's go. You're probably all very tired.' Said Quatre, seeing the up coming argument. The girls paired off with the guys and went to the different gundams. ^And I get the perverted one! Thanks girls! ^ Alex thought as she headed for Deathsythe.
^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^***^
'So, Alex is it?' asked duo She was currently sitting sideways behind his chair on the floor with her legs stretched out in front of her. Her head was to his left and her feet to his right. 'Uh huh. Which one are you?' she asked. 'Duo Maxwell,' he answered. She moved round so she was sitting beside him on his left side so she could face him. 'What's your gundam called? She asked. 'Deathsythe. You obviously knew we were coming for you, so, how come you weren't given any information on us?' asked duo 'We were.' She smirked 'And.' 'Well, to tell you the truth, I have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to reading so I just didn't bother!' she said Duo laughed at the face she pulled as she spoke. 'So what are the others called?' 'The blonde one is Quatre Rabarber Winner; he pilots Sandrock, Wufei, Chang Wufei, the uptight Chinese guy, he pilots the Shenlong, a.k.a, Nataku. Trowa Barton.' 'Tall one with bangs pilots Heavyarms.' Alex cut in, 'so that means Heero Yuy must be the one I attacked. Oh dear, hope he doesn't hold that against me, I really did think you five were guards! Heero pilots the Wing Zero doesn't he? Hey, why are you giving me that look?' Duo was looking extremely perplexed. 'I thought you said you had the attention span of a gnat and didn't bother to read anything!' 'I do, I didn't, the girls were talking,' she then lowered her eyes and her voice, 'I was taken for testing halfway through.' The silence that followed continued all the way back to Quatre's mansion. Duo opened the cockpit door and helped Alex down onto the platform that ran from one end of the lit expanse of space to the other. 'Sangriento infierno!' Alex gasped, 'sheesh it's dark! Isn't there supposed to be stars and a moon somewhere up there?' she added looking up. 'We're in a cave' Duo told her as the other 8 came over to them. 'Hey Chloe, did you know we're in a cave?' asked Alex Chloe and Trowa were coming from a different direction from the rest so Alex had to turn away from the so she could ask this. 'Yea.' Chloe caught the pleading look that settled in Alex's green grey eyes, so did Trowa. 'Oh, what type of cave? Did the sea make it in the side of a cliff or did you dig it out with machines?' Chloe asked. 'We, just dug about and found this huge hole in the rock,' Duo told her, Trowa watched relief spread through all of Alex's features. 'Yes.' Said Quatre, 'I had the mansion's extra wing built above it, now there's an elevator going from here up into it. 'Elevator?' asked Alex then stopped. Luckily she was still facing away from the main group so they couldn't see her blush and anxiety fill her eyes. The main group looked a little confused, Chloe just gulped, uncertain of an explanation, Trowa then took things into his own hands. 'The room you stand in with a rope on top that pulls you up and down. You sound like you could have learned English from someone whose from England so you may know it as a lift.' 'Oh, lift, right, got it, thank you.' The last two words were very sincere. 'Come on!' said Duo bouncing up and putting an arm around Alex's shoulder and leading her toward the lift, 'we need you girls to get settled in, you'll have to start high school the day after tomorrow to keep a low profile!' 'High school? Mierda!' was all Trowa heard from Alex as she was towed away by a persistent duo. Strange girl, he thought to himself and noted how she only swore in Spanish, or was sometimes sarcastic in it, another yell in Spanish about uniforms made him inwardly flinch, smirk and quietly chuckle to himself. Maybe it was a good thing that he was the only other person in the group apart from Alex who spoke Spanish; even Heero would raise an eyebrow at the language she was using.
