Disclaimer: I don't own gundam wing. I only own the original characters, their gundams, and some other made up stuff. Nothing else. I think that everyone should know that by now damn it! .'
AN: Sorry for the slow updates, but right now I'm not only suffering nearly constant writers block but I'm also trying to juggle my updates with other stories. Please don't hurt me. I'm trying to update this more than others since I'm going to finish it up soon. That means that in a few more chapters, this fic is done. And then I'll put up the short sequel thing that I already have written for some odd reason. (don't ask me why but I was going through old files and found it and said "what the hell? I already have the sequel written and I don't remember typing it."). There's going to be a twist with the Calhoun/Kamori/Trowa relationship thing. Just 'cause I want to be kinda evil.
"blah" normal speech.
//blah// animal speech
{blah} talking over the intercoms
note: when their talking normal in their gundams but their using the intercom think of it as the camera is switching between them and people over the intercom can't be seen.
In The End

Chapter 11: Brazilian Base
{Speed remains constant. We'll be there in about two hours.} Max called over the intercom system that was had between the gundam's. Still, though, she distanced herself from everyone else. Just slightly out of normal formation.
"Let's just increase speed. We'll get there sooner. My gundam isn't at full power yet."
"Would you rather break the speed of light, Irene?" Melody asked. "Because full power on your gundam is, like, mach 15. Our gundams, on the other hand, can not go to such speedy lengths." Melody said.
"What about Morgaine's fire portal or Max's teleportation? We could use those." Irene said.
{Negative. Morgaine can't just port us anywhere. She needs to have been there before. It's the same way with me. I can only teleport to places I know.} Max said. {Besides…} she added. {…I doubt that I'd be able to teleport you guys and you're gundams. I'm strong, but not that strong.}
{So all you women have power's too?} Came Wufei from over Irene's frequency. There was a light scuffle that could be heard and what sounded like Irene telling him to get back and away from her controls or she'd show him exactly what her power was. Kamori blinked. She didn't know if it was just her or was Irene was being extremely violent towards Wufei?
{Yes we do.} Morgaine said.
"Morgaine has pyrokinetic powers, Melody is empathic and can create hallucinations of the mind that people think are real, she also has the ability to heal people, Maxine has psychic powers like teleportation and telekinesis, Irene is a shape-shifter, and I am an animal linguist; which in more plain terms means I can control and communicate with animals. I understand them and they understand me." Kamori said. She felt Trowa's eyes on the back of her head. And the surprised feeling he held radiated to her. She smiled to herself wondering if he would act different around her because she wasn't normal now.
But then again, she'd never been normal to begin with.
She looked at him. "Yes?" He looked away quickly. Strange man. Silent and nearly impossible to read. A real challenge in her opinion. If she had the time she would invest her interests in trying to crack through his expressionless exterior. With a shrug she looked towards the monitors.
~Beep~
{Dammit, Wufei, if you don't back away from my controls this instant I will roast your chestnuts over an open fire} Irene growled. There were a few fuzzy noises. {I don't care if you want to see the controls to my gundam. If you don't sit back and let me fly I'm gonna open that hatch next to you and kick you out}
{I thought you said you were going to roast his chestnuts over an open fire} Came Morgaine's voice over the comm. system. It was tinted with humor.
{Oh yeah that's right. Fine. I'll roast his chestnuts and then let them cool off as he plummets towards the earth} Irene growled. Kamori had the idea that at that particular moment the blue haired woman was giving the Chinese man a look of death.
"Try not to kill each other before the missions complete. After it I don't care what happens to Wufei. I won't question anyone if he happens to go missing. But at the moment he could be a valuable ally in helping us save Sandrock and Deathscythe." Kamori rolled her eyes.
{You know of the gundams we had?} Heero asked over Lunarfire's comm.. Everyone heard Morgaine's hidden laugh sound. They had been around her long enough to know what sounds meant what. Which was kinda sad. {Yes. I did some extensive research on you male pilots. I would've never let you see our gundams or let you know of our abilities if I wasn't confident that you all would be trustworthy} Morgaine said. Kamori nodded. She knew it was true. No one could be trusted. The doctors had made it very clear that they were never to reveal their powers or their gundams. But a side conversation had mentioned that they might be able to trust and find help in the male pilots. That was the only reason that gave the girls the ability to show their true selves.
It was also plainly clear that everyone enjoyed being themselves instead of living a double life.
In a couple hours they would be at the base then all they would have to do is find the boys, rescue them, and then destroy the base. It was so very simple in concept but she didn't doubt that it would be harder than they thought. Kamori was expecting the worst. So was everyone else she suspected. At one side of her monitor was the inside of everyone else's cockpit with their faces set with determination. Melody's was exceedingly determined. But she had a huge reason for wanting the innocent rich blond back.
The red head pressed a button on her controls. Alright. She leaned back. The gundam was now on auto pilot. She would wait till they got to the base before unleashing her nightmare upon the BLOOD base.
* * * *
{Brazilian base within sight} Morgaine came from over the comm. system.
{Enemy Capricorns are still unaware of us. We should stop here and hide our gundams} Maxine said.
"Alright. We'll proceed on foot and locate the missing pilots" Kamori answered back halting mid air with her gundams metallic black wings outstretched before dropping skillfully into the cover of the rainforest.
{Be careful as to where you land, guys. The rainforest is very delicate and we wouldn't want to destroy it anymore than people already have. Besides, we also don't want BLOOD to become aware of us because we make too much noise. Who knows…they could have motion detectors set up in the trees} Irene said.
{I just scanned the area. There aren't any motion detectors for us to worry about} Melody landed quietly beside Nightmare gundam. Everyone landed in formation. They piled out of their gundams and discreetly covered them with camouflaged tarping. Melody loaded her gun and flung it at Heero.
"You guys will need the gun's more than we do." She said tip-toeing off in sneakers, loose black shorts and a red tank-top. Everyone followed behind her, ready for soldiers to fly out of the bushes. But at the moment, their only obstacles were the annoying bugs that could only be shooed away by Kamori's mental glare.
//Not now you stupid bugs// She growled. They immediately flew away in search of different food.
A large metal foot stopped down in front of them making them all freeze. A Capricorn looked around, not seeing them, and then walked on, calling it clear to his buddies in the area. Irene shape-shifted into a jaguar and walked up to the base without the mecha's even throwing her a second glance. It was defiantly the rear of the base. And Irene walked up to the back door effortlessly before roaring back to the group.
"She says its all clear. No sign of any other guards besides the Capricorns." Kamori translated, looking in both directions, before dashing off towards where Irene had just assumed a human form. Morgaine and the rest quickly followed.
Stealth mode: Activated.
Some unfortunate sap had left the back door open and then sat to take a nap at the guard post next to it. He was totally unaware of the pilots at the slipped through the door.
"Make sure he stays out." Morgaine motioned quietly. Max nodded and silently raised a hand to the soldiers sleeping face. Her eyes took on a glowing neon blue.
After a moment the soldier visibly slunk lower into his seat.
Max turned to the group and nodded. "He'll sleep through anything now; Even the destruction of this base." Everyone moved forward silently as they slowly worked their way deeper into the base.
"Where exactly are they being held?" Wufei asked. Irene glared. Kamori clamped a hand on the blue haired girls shoulder and shook her head.
"They should be in the holding cells below this layer. We should find a door that leads down there in a matter of moments." And as if magic they came upon the stairway double doors. Also, as if by magic, a soldier seemed to appeared.
"Halt!" Kamori winced and turned to see the soldier standing behind them with his gun raised. "Who are you?" He barked. She saw his hand inch its way down to the walky-talky at his belt. Kamori looked back at her friends then at the soldier. She motioned for them to go towards the doors.
"GO!" She rushed the soldier, plowing headlong into his stomach using the force of her shoulder. The others took there chance and ran down the stairs.

Raven: Yeah. I haven't updated in forever and now you're getting a short chapter. I'm really sorry but in order to get things up more often I'm going to try the technique of writing short chapters more frequently. I hope that works out a little better.
